MES Important Announcement!! The tardy bell for school rings at 7:50. Once the bell rings, you must walk your child into the building and sign them in. We have noticed that the line gets pretty congested around 7:48 so you may need to plan accordingly. Thank you for helping our students start their day positively!!
