MES Weekly Scoop

Dear MES families,

We are now about four weeks into the school year, and it is wonderful to see learning going strong, routines being established, and our students thriving. Thank you for the continued support in helping make this a great start to the year!

This Wednesday, September 17th, we will recognize Constitution Day. At school, students will take time to learn about the importance of the Constitution and what it means for our rights and responsibilities as citizens. At home, you can honor this day by talking with your child about freedoms we enjoy, reading the Preamble together, or simply reflecting on how the Constitution shapes our daily lives.

Finally, a reminder that candy bar sales kick off this Thursday, September 18th! Thank you in advance for supporting this fundraiser—it directly benefits our school and students.

Together, we are building a strong foundation for a successful year!

With appreciation,

Mrs. Janine Doebele

Marysville Elementary Principal

Our kindergarteners are busy little learners! From exploring stories in the library to hands-on fun in the classroom, every day is a new adventure.

Our Parent Handbook is an important resource that outlines the expectations, policies, and procedures for the school year. It includes information about academics, attendance, behavior expectations, communication, and ways families can stay engaged in their child’s learning.

We ask that families review the handbook occasionally so that everyone is familiar with our school guidelines. Please continue to reference it throughout the year whenever questions arise. Working together, we can ensure a safe, supportive, and successful school experience for every child.

For the safety of our students, please do not park in the bus lane at any time. If you plan to enter the building, we ask that you use the designated parking stalls or park on the other side of the cement/barricade wall. This ensures our buses or district vans transporting students to and from other schools have clear access and keeps drop-off and pick-up running smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation!

Yearbooks are $25 EACH

Our community offers many opportunities for families to connect and engage throughout the year. From local events to school activities, there are a variety of ways to stay involved and build strong connections. We encourage families to keep an eye on school updates, newsletters, and community announcements so you don’t miss out on the many events that bring us together.

We follow the three R's in our building.

Be Ready

Be Responsible

Be Respectful

AND Be Safe

Character Strong – Week 3: Respect

Part of showing Respect is treating others with care. What would this look like at school? We can show Respect by holding the door open for someone, raising our hand instead of shouting out an answer, or allowing others a chance to play a game at recess. We can also treat the supplies and things we use with care, like putting the markers away or cleaning up our trash in the cafeteria. Look for ways you can show Respect to people AND things today!
