MES Monday Messenger
August 28, 2023
Admin Corner
We are committed to our targeted learning focus for the school:
Ponder, Persevere and Prove It!
Welcome Back to School!
All of us at Mammoth Elementary would like to welcome you to a new school year! We are thrilled to have our students back on campus. We have had a busy first few days learning routines and expectations. Here's a little peek into Ms. Oliver's 2nd grade class!
Opportunities for Giving
Mammoth Elementary School is so grateful to our community partners. We have had a number of parents reach out to ask about donating to our school. We do have a wish list of items if you are interested in donating. (Click here.) Additionally, our MES PTO is a supportive partner who also accepts donations and volunteers if you are looking to get involved. (Click here for more info about MES PTO.)
Picture Day
School picture day is this Friday, September 1, 2023. Your students should come home with a flyer today. If you are interested in ordering school photos, please send the form back to school on Friday. Alternatively, you can order online at www.rp-studio.com/online-ordering.html
Hearing Van
We will have our annual hearing van screening on campus Tuesday, August 29 to screen all kindergarten, second grade and fifth grade students.
Attendance
Daily attendance is so important. Please remember to have your student attend every day and arrive on time to school. Our goal is to get above 95% daily attendance! Help us by ensuring your children come to school daily. Additionally, please plan vacations around school holidays as much as possible. Read the attached handout about the importance of school attendance.
We have a new system integrated with our attendance program that is making automated contact with families when a student is marked absent. If you have already called in your child's attendance for the day, you can ignore the message. If you have not already made contact, please call our attendance hotline to report why @ 760-934-7162. If your child’s absence is not reported, it is considered truant. Also note that this is a monitored line for leaving an attendance message only. You will not receive a call back.
If you are looking to get involved in the MES PTO, we are hosting our first meeting 9/7/23 at 7:30am.
