Hello MES Community,

We are needing some issues to be resolved with pick up in the back after school at MES. First, we are needing all parents and students to walk on the sidewalk when heading back to your vehicle. Too many parents and students are going across the staff parking lot and many staff members are leaving at this time. Please use the sidewalk.
Secondly, please park along Denver St. or, if needed, the cemetery. Staff parking lot is off limits during school for parents to park when picking up their child. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

At Monday's Board of Education meeting, the board approved a change to the end of the school year. The last day of school will now be Friday, May 15th instead of May 18th. Due to the lack of snow days used, USD 408 has decided to make this decision. Please make sure to note this change moving forward. Thank you for your continued support of USD 408!
