🌞 Walk Down Memory Lane Wednesday 🌞
While our students are enjoying summer break, we're taking a trip down memory lane at MHES! In Mrs. Gilliatt’s first grade class, students went “fishing” for parts of speech and “star gazing” for high-frequency words—proving that learning can be an adventure in every season. 🎣✨🌟
We hope everyone is having a fun and relaxing summer break while making memories of their own!

📢 Back-to-School Health Reminder for Families
As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, some students will need updated vaccinations before the first day of school on August 12, 2026.

Students entering Kindergarten, 7th Grade, and 12th Grade are required by Virginia law to have certain vaccinations on file before school begins.

💡 Why schedule early?
Doctor’s offices fill up quickly in late summer. Scheduling now helps you:
✔ Avoid the rush
✔ Ensure your child is ready for the first day of school
✔ Keep students healthy and ready to learn

If your child needs vaccinations, please contact your healthcare provider soon. Families without insurance may qualify for free vaccines through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program.

📋 Remember to provide a copy of your child’s vaccination record to your school.

❓Have questions? Reach out to your school nurse/health assistant.

✅ Schedule early and beat the back-to-school rush!
