Reminder: If you DO NOT have a car tag #, you cannot choose to make your student a car rider in Pick Up Patrol. You must have a Car Tag # to get in the Car Line. If you would like to utilize the car rider line, please stop by our office to pick up a car tag to use in advance. The car tag needs to be in your car every day. If you do not have your car tag, you will need to have your ID ready.

Please be sure that all cars participating in carline are using all three lanes. By using all three lanes we prevent Whiteland Road from backing up. We appreciate your cooperation and help!

Want to volunteer in your child's classroom, go on the field trip or participate in class parties/events? Background checks are required to volunteer at MGES. Click Here to get to the district background check page on the website.

Need to check to see if your background check is still good? Call our district office at 317-881-9326 and speak with Madyson Calfee, ESC receptionist.

*Please note: background checks are for classroom volunteers; visitors are still not permitted in the building during the school day. Volunteers need to check in at the window in the foyer with your driver's license/identification card in order to receive a badge and enter the school building.
