We love celebrating birthdays at MES!
This is our 1st group to spend their birthday token at the Book Vending machine! 🎂🎉

These MES Braves have shown how to be GENEROUS this week! We are so proud of them and the example they are setting for their peers! 💙💛

First meeting on the 19th. Join us!

Wear your Blue and Gold!!

Tomorrow is our first 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 of the school year! We’re giving you some extra incentive to dress in school colors.

Each Thursday throughout the 2024-25 school year, Community ISD’s communications department staff will visit a random campus to snap pictures and celebrate Braves showing school spirit!

We’ll post a weekly photo gallery on the district’s Facebook and Instagram pages.

If you are still in need of your child's car tag, please contact the office or your child's teacher. Thank you for your help with this.

Brave Nation, we want to remind you that we DO have school on Fridays throughout August. We will have school this Friday (August 16), next Friday (August 23), and the following Friday (August 30) before switching students to the four-day schedule for the rest of the school year.

It has been a great two days of our first week of the 2024-2025 school year!
A HUGE shout out to the GENEROUS helpers who have come down to lend a helping hand on our campus at arrival and dismissal! Thank you all!

Parents,
We had a great first day. Our families did a great job walking in and encouraging their students today. Please remember we will no longer have parents walking in with their students.
Your role in the dismissal process is crucial, and we want to help you understand how you can make it even smoother tomorrow.
1. Students who ride a bus must have a yellow tag on their backpack with the bus number, name from Skyward, and the address for drop off. This is part of our commitment to your child's safety.
2. Car riders—You must hang your Car Smart number in your window so our staff can see it and type it in. If you do not have your number, you will be asked to park and wait until the car line is completed to check out your student with your ID.
3. Parents must use McClendon Road (enter from CR 543 near the bus hut) to enter the car drop-off/pick-up lanes. McClendon does not have walk-up drop-off/pick-up.
4. Parent pick-up starts at 3:40; once we work out the minor issues, it usually takes about 20 minutes to complete. Please be sure to arrive on time so we can make sure our day ends successfully.
Morning Drop Off
In the morning, all car riders will use the CR 543 entrance by the bus hut and enter the car lane.
You will move to the cone and stop when directed by the CISD officers or staff.
If you are on the outside lane (not by the sidewalk), students will walk down the middle to one of our officers to cross at the crosswalk. In the morning, they DO NOT walk between cars.
Students in 2nd—5th grade can open their doors and exit once all cars have stopped, and the staff starts opening doors.
In kindergarten to 1st grade, a staff member will open the doors to help them out. (Once 1st graders are ready, they can open their doors)
Doors open at 7:00 am
If you arrive after 7:25 am, you will park and walk your child in to ensure they get checked in and are safely in the building. DO NOT let your child walk to the door if our staff is not outside. Allowing your child to walk in without staff present is a safety issue, and we want all our braves to be safe.

💛More happy faces at lunchtime!💙

It is lunchtime at MES and there are a lot of smiles!

💛1st Day of School💙

What a beautiful morning to welcome our new and returning Braves! It’s going to be an amazing year!

We are ready to start school at 7am on Monday 8/12/24!! Remember you can walk your sweet Braves in to drop them off for class the first day. You must walk in with your child and bring your ID to leave with our staff before entering. Be sure to take lots of pictures and tag McClendon. Parking is limited so you are able to park at the stadium and cross with our CISD police officers. Be sure you let your teachers know how your child will get home on day 1 and the rest of the year (if it is different). Don’t forget to read the newsletter to stay up to date on our adventures. Remember we go to school on Friday’s in August!! See you soon!!

It is almost time to start. We wanted to be sure everyone had all the information for the first day! Please read over the Principal's Corner and be sure you have everything you need for Monday!!! See you at the Back to School Bash on Saturday.
