Happy Friday everyone!
Based on the recent data trends relating to COVID-19, face coverings will become optional for all students and staff beginning on Monday, March 29th for all operations within the school district. Temperature checks will no longer be required at the beginning and middle of the day.
All COVID testing and positivity rates will continue to be monitored closely as we conclude the 2020-2021 school year. Staff, Students, Parents, and Community Members, we can't stay "Thank You" enough for your willingness to be cooperative and work with us throughout the school year.
Let's finish strong!
Our best always,

Mineola Elementary School and the Mineola Rotary Club are joining forces to bring the EarlyAct FirstKnight Program to students starting next school year.
This revolutionary character and ethics educational program will share the Rotary tradition of “Service Above Self” through the visually captivating theme of knightly heroes.
This program was grant funded through our friends at the Meredith Foundation. We are so excited to see the impact this will have on our kids as we build a culture of service to others and leadership development for our students at Mineola Elementary.
