MPE Weekly Family Newsletter

Students had a great week back from Spring Break! We all enjoyed Dinosaur George on Monday and ended the week with an exciting Career Day. As we wrap up the end of March, we are getting closer to STAAR testing for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. We are so proud of the progress all of our students have made this year.

Don't forget to see who our "Guess the Staff" was last week. It is at the bottom of the newsletter. Will you guess this week's staff member?

Thank you for your patience at arrival and dismissal. We have a lot of JETS that are car riders and walkers, and safety is our

#1 priority.

In order to make sure that these busy times go smoothly and safely, we want to make sure everyone knows the procedures for arrival and dismissal times.

Doors open for Morning Drop-Off at 6:45 am, through the cafeteria. There is only one lane for parent drop-off in the morning. The lane closest to the curb is the lane for morning drop-off.

DIsmissal is at 2:50 pm, and car riders are dismissed through the cafeteria. There are two lanes for car rider parent pick-up. The two lanes closest to the curb are used for pick up. Please be patient and courteous to each other, as there is only one entrance.

Finally, please make sure that you are not blocking any intersections, walkways, or crossroads. We want everyone to be able to get where they need to go in an orderly and safe manner. Many students walk home and need these spaces to be open and clear. This includes the intersection of Misty Ridge and Frontier Ridge.

Last week's hint was:

I played volleyball in the Junior Olympics for 4 years while in middle school and high school with Alamo Volleyball Association.

The mystery staff member was one of our amazing Dyslexia teachers, Mrs. Grimes.

Another interesting fact about Mrs. Grimes is that her husband played basketball with Shaquille O'Neal in high school!

Ready for this week's hint?

When I was in college, I took snow skiing as a college class.
