MES Parents: If you are going to be in the car line tomorrow, please be patient. We want to get as many students out as quickly as we can. Please follow instructions from the staff and ask questions if needed. We have A LOT of students at MES this year and want to get them into school and out of the school as quickly and safely as possible.
PRO TIP: Have your child sit on the passenger side of the car so we can quickly access them.
