Good Afternoon, MES Families! A couple of reminders for everyone: 1. Picture Retake Day (that was originally scheduled before Fall Break) will be tomorrow Wednesday, October 16th. IF YOU PURCHASED PICTURES PRIOR TO THE ORIGINIAL RETAKE DAY, you do not need to purchase again. If you have not purchased pictures for retakes, please go to inter-state.com/order and use the code 86694BF. We also ask that you return the original package purchased. 2. Temperatures are becoming more Fall-Like, so we want to remind parents to please bundle their child up each day. Our plan is to take students outside for recess if temperatures are above freezing. It's important to get some fresh air when we can! If you are in need of a coat(s) for your kids, please email Mr. Corn--jcorn@ses.k12.in.us Have a great day!

Good Morning, MES Families! I hope this message finds everyone enjoying their Fall Break! I did want to share a mistake on the Grandparent Breakfast sign up sheet. Grandparent Breakfast will be Tuesday, November 5th (PK-1st) and Wednesday, November 6th (2nd-5th) at 7:00am both days. At the bottom of the form, you are asked to circle which date for the RSVP but November 7th and 8th are the options. That is incorrect. Please change the dates to either the 5th or the 6th. I apologize for the mix up. Have a great day!

Good evening Morristown parents, Crews from Duke Energy, our maintenance staff, and additional electrical contractors have worked into the evening to try to resolve our electrical issues that started this morning. There is some good news and bad news to share. Duke energy was able to repair the power line from the road to the school earlier this evening. That repair restored power to MHS and all of our systems are back up and running at the Jr. Sr. High School. Junior Senior High School Students will report per usual and bus routes will be running on their regular schedule tomorrow morning. The unfortunate news is, there is another significant electrical issue within MES that prevents us from restoring power, HVAC systems and much of the lighting within the school. Because this wasn't able to be repaired this evening MES will be on a virtual learning day tomorrow, Friday 8/16. Devices were sent home with 1st through 5th graders and teachers will communicate lessons/activites before 10:00 a.m. on Friday. Again, we do understand the inconvenience this causes our families and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the electrical issues. Summary: MES will be on virtual learning Friday, August 16th. There will be no Boys and Girls Club. Little Yellow Jackets Preschool/Daycare will not be operating.
