February at MES is a month of Valentine day parties, Mismatch Day, Divisional PLCs, Family Dance, Family Day holidays and of course lots of learning. It is also the month we ask parents of grade 4 students to complete the annual Accountability Pillar Surveys. These surveys are important to us at MES as they give us an idea of things you as parents are happy with and things that we need to look at to make our school better. These surveys will be online this year and we will send you more information as it becomes available to us. Thank you in advance for doing this survey, we look forward to seeing the results.

February is also the month where we ask parents with children who are preschool and kindergarten age to come on in and register their children for next year. By registering for these programs early, it gives us the chance to insure that we have programs in place to help these young children gain the foundation they will need to be successful in their education at MES. For more information on these programs and the registration process you can go to our website at www.magrathelementary.ca or by calling the school.

On another note, we look forward to seeing you at our 17th annual Family Dance on February 13th, at 7:00 PM in the Karren Gym. This is the one and only fundraiser for our MES School Council and all the net proceeds go directly back to your children. It is a fun event for all and the students are excited to be able to show off their dancing talents to their families.

Thank you for your support in everything we do in the school. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to give us a call or come on in and visit.
