September 22nd

Thank you to all of our families for coming out for this annual event! It was a beautiful ending and a great way to end a busy week. I always enjoy seeing the MCE staff, students, and families interacting and having fun outside of school. Can you move a cookie from your forehead to your mouth without using your hands? These boys couldn't either but sure had fun trying!

On October 20th the MCE PTO is treating all MCE students to a live production of Maddi's Fridge! If you aren't familiar with the story, I encourage you to listen to the reading below. You will see how our students are going to be able to relate to this fun and touching story.

Decorate your pumpkin at home with your family and bring it to the library. Pumpkins will be on display during Parent Teacher Conferences.

Rep. Sassmann plans to visit Montgomery City Elementary on November 1st. He is bringing some educational materials for our students and will visit with District and building administration regarding upcoming legislation.

All schools in the MCR-2 School District have the goal of 95% or higher average student attendance. Thank you for helping us met this goal for the months of August and September. It is important for students be at school as most of the learning at the elementary level involves hands on activities, group discussion, and investigation that can not be reproduced at home. When possible, please plan appointments and trips for Monday. We understand that some absences can not be avoided, if you child is sick or must miss school, please call the office and let us know.

If you need to get out of the car to unbuckle your child's car seat or want to give them a good bye hug, please use the drop off lane closest to the building. This will reserve the lane further away from the building (along the parking spaces) for parents and student drivers who need to keep moving to make it to their next destination or have students who do not need assistance.

Thank you for helping us meet everyone's needs!

If you need to change your child's afternoon transportation plans, please send a note. If you need to call the office to change transportation plans, please make sure to call before 2:00 pm.
