As many classrooms like to enjoy the beautiful June weather, they are often outside a little early at the end of the day. Keeping this in mind, please inform the office of any home time messages BEFORE 2:30 pm. Messages/calls received after 2:30 pm are not guaranteed to reach your child. Messages/calls received after 3:00 pm will not reach your child.

MES will once again be hosting the final 5km race for you Grade 4 Running Club students!

It will take place on Thursday, June 11 at 9:50 am. All parents, family and friends are welcome to come out and cheer on the students as they celebrate all their training with one final push to the finish line! All the grade 4 finishers will celebrate with a spaghetti lunch after their run. We look forward to making this a MASSIVE and memorable event!

MES PAC is excited to host a BBQ picnic lunch on Friday, June 19. All proceeds raised at the picnic will go towards upcoming school projects.

BRING LAWN CHAIRS OR BLANKETS and enjoy lunch together with your children. All students and their families are invited to join.

Order forms have been sent home to pre-order your food for the picnic. Forms are to be handed in to their homeroom teachers by Wednesday, June 3 (One order per family)

**Only people who pre-order will receive hot dogs. There will be no purchases available on that day **

Staggered dismissal times for lunch:

11:00 am Kindergarten

11:10 am Grade 1 and 1/2L

11:20 am Grade 2

11:30 am Grades 3 & 4

Lunch combos are $6 (hotdog, drink & chips)

Individual items can also be purchased:

Hotdog $3

Chips $2

Drink $2

There will be a Silent Auction with AMAZING prizes! Come view the table at the picnic and purchase some tickets for a chance to win! Tickets are $1 each.

It’s hard to believe that the end of library time for this year is just around the

corner. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading aloud to each class, having

different themes throughout the year, and helping students find a favourite

book/series or a new one, which soon becomes their favourite.

June 5th is the last day the library will be open to classrooms, and all

student library books need to be in by then. So, why not have one last

contest. The first class to get all their books in will win an ice cream sundae party!

Kindergarten registration for the 2026-2027 school year is open! To be eligible, children must be five years of age on or before December 31, 2026. The registration process will take place online at www.hsd.ca. If you do not have access to the Internet, please visit the school office and we can assist you in completing the registration on a school computer.

If your child is leaving the Hanover School Division at the end of the school year, please either print or download their report card by June 30th. After this date your Parent Portal account will no longer have access to this information, as it is tied to your child's registration. If your child is transferring to another HSD school, you will continue to have access to this information.

Do you have a child that is kindergarten-age or younger?

Do you have some free time during the day?

We have the place for you!

Come and visit us for a program filled with laughter, songs, crafts, stories, and a snack! We are in the hut at Mitchell Elementary School on Mondays from 9-11:30 am, Tuesdays from 1-3:30 pm and Thursdays from 9-11:30 am. Just look for our sign in the hut’s door window!

Can’t make it for the whole 2 and a half hours? That’s fine with us! We are drop-in and you are always welcome to come late or leave early if that is what is best for you.

Infants are more than welcome and we cannot wait to meet you and your child(ren)!

Parents are required to stay with their child(ren). We are a free program and pre-registration is not required. Please bring indoor footwear during snowy months!

If you have any questions, please call student services at 204-326-9829

**The last day of Preschool this year is Thursday, June 18.**

In severe weather conditions, the Hanover School Division closes the school and stops the buses.
