With the storm this weekend, we were not able to notify parents and families of our upcoming lockdown drill. This week students and staff will be practicing to ensure procedures are known by all students and staff. Additionally, we use drills to identify procedures that can be improved. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Cottrell at cottrellr@mvdistrict.net. Thank you and everyone be safe.
Parents and Guardians,
I hope this message finds you and your family well in light of the recent storm. We have been closely evaluating all of our schools and their conditions. At this time, all schools have power and are being mitigated for any safety concerns, and as a result, MVESD will be on a regular schedule tomorrow (9/6/2022). Please know we are sensitive to your circumstances and will provide maximum flexibility when it comes to you and your child. We will continue to communicate if unexpected circumstances arise and ask for your understanding and flexibility as we go into the week, knowing our staff members were also affected personally by this weather event.
Hoping for the best when it comes to you, your family, our District, and our community.
Please communicate with us if you should need anything.

FMES,
Breakfast will be served in the cafeteria. All other students will report to the playground. Teachers will be there to greet you and line up when the whistle blows. If parents choose to stay, please give kisses and hugs at the classroom door and depart promptly. It is important that our teachers begin their routines.
Your child will bring home a Back to School Packet after the first day of school. Please return promptly.
For parents who plan to pick up your child from school, we have a new plan. With this change, comes new protocols as well. The gate will only open once all the buses have arrived. Once the gate (to the right of the office) is opened, you will walk directly to the cafeteria along the designated path to check out your child in a nice cool environment. We will have support staff present to support parents. Only parents are allowed to pick up students after school. It is very important to know that you will be required to show identification. Please contact the school if you plan to send someone from your emergency contact list. They will be required to show identification as well. It will be your responsibility to inform your emergency contact of that requirement. Please be patient with us on the first day. It is a new system with some new faces and we want to make sure children are delivered to each parent safely.
CMES wants to remind everyone that the first day of school is tomorrow. get a good night's rest, and we will see everyone tomorrow morning. Gates open @7:15 and tardy bell rings at 7:45. Let's make the year the best ever. Coyotes ROCK!!
