A Message to Our Families:
Dear MES Families,
We are looking forward to a visit next week from our students who are presenting Spongebob the Musical from the Dennis-Yarmouth Middle School (DYMS)! These students will be arriving in costume and will be able to visit our kindergarten through third graders during their recess and lunch times. What a great way to share in the excitement for the upcoming shows! There is more information below!
MES is also looking forward to an upcoming author visit with Ana Crespo! Last year, Ana visited MES to share her work with us! She will be visiting our students this year in their classrooms for a 4-day author visit from March 25-28, 2024. Students and staff will be invited to share in books by Ana Crespo such as, LIA AND LUIS: WHO HAS MORE? We cannot wait to welcome back Ana Crespo to MES!
This week, our students have been reviewing bus behavior expectations! At MES, we are respectful, responsible, ready, caring, and safe! Check out some more details below highlighting our bus expectations. We want everyone to be able to enjoy a safe bus ride to and from school.
Remember to mark your calendars that March 20th is an early release day! We hope that you have a wonderful weekend!
Warm regards,
Ms. Mahedy and Mrs. Carlson

Early Release Day: March 20th
We have an early release day on Wednesday, March 20th. Our dismissal will begin at 1:55 PM. This is the time that parent pick-up will be called to the lower and upper parking lots. Just as a reminder, Early Education, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 students will be dismissed to the lower lot and Grades 2 and 3 with any younger siblings will be dismissed to the upper lot. Buses will begin to arrive at the school at 2:00 PM. The school day ends at 2:05 PM for early release days.
For families who choose to pick up their children at dismissal, the safety of your children is our first priority and our dismissal routine has been designed with that in mind. For the lower lot, please remain in your vehicle until yours is among the first six and it is your turn to safely assist your child getting into the vehicle. Thank you!
20th Annual Student Art Exhibition: Through Young Eyes
Mr. Walker, our art teacher, chose three castle collages from Miss Pisano's kindergarten class to put in this year's student art exhibition "Through Young Eyes" at the Cape Cod Museum of Fine art. The exhibit will run March 21st through May 12th!
Bus Safety and Expectations
At MES, we are respectful, responsible, ready, caring, and safe. One way that students can demonstrate this is on the bus! Check out these bus expectations.
Listen to the bus driver and have your personal items ready to go!
Stay seated and stay out of the aisle.
Talk quietly and use kind words.
Listen to others and walk to and from the bus.
Keep your hands to yourself.
Watch for your stop.
