MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

This school year is almost over with four weeks left in the semester which has been very successful. We are happy to have everyone working hard to make better grades so that the good may become better and the better become best. The students worked hard and finished TPRI, ITBS, and TAKS testing. All that remains as far as testing are the 5^th grade students that need to re-take portions of the TAKS test. Students need to keep up their grades until the end of the year by coming to school each day prepared to do the assigned work and by doing the work assigned.

Respectfully, Curtis Hurst, MES Principal

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Parents please make sure your student(s) are following the school dress code and attendance policy.
Please read and study with your child each day.
