Good morning,
Last night, the School Board approved amending the school calendar to not be in session on April 8th, 2024. This is the date of the eclipse. Due to the excitement and mobilization of entire communities for this event, it became clear that it would be too difficult to be in session that day. To compensate for not being in session that day, the Board approved being in session on April 1st, 2024. April 1st was to be the last day of spring break, but now it will be an attendance day. I hope this change will be beneficial to all of you.
Go Aces,
Your child entering 2nd grade for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year will need to have a dental exam completed. If your child has had an exam completed anytime after 11/15/2023 then it will be accepted and in compliance. Please call you dental office to have them fax a copy to MCES @ 618-262-7189. If you have not scheduled an exam please do so ASAP as appointments tend to be booking far out. If you have any questions please feel free to call 618-262-5104 ext 1112. Thank you! Stephanie Kolb BSN, RN, PEL-CSN
