Calamity Days and Remote Learning
As of January 31st, MT has utilized 3 calamity days. After the 5th calamity day, all students will transition to Remote Learning for any school cancellation. Students will begin taking their devices home on a regular basis after our 5th calamity day. Parents, it is imperative that your child's device is fully charged and returns to school with them each day. Some students have already taken chargers home, and remaining students will bring their chargers home in the coming days. Please follow the link below to access the K-5 Remote Learning Expectations.
Hotspot Request Form
Families that need a district issued hotspot in the event of Remote Learning days, please request one here.
It Takes a Village
A phrase common to many... "it takes a village to raise a child." Our village is incredible. The generosity, support, and engagement by our families, staff members, and stakeholders is the heartbeat of MTES. THANK YOU for all that you do to make our school the best around!
