A Message from the Principal:

Exciting Events This December!

Dear MSEM Families,

The holiday season is upon us, and we are excited to share the many special events we have planned to celebrate learning, family, and togetherness. While we are enjoying the joy of the season, please know that instruction remains our top priority.

🎨 Family STEAM Night
Join us on Tuesday, December 12th, from 4:30-5:30 PM, for an evening of exploration and creativity! Family STEAM Night will feature fun, hands-on activities in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.

🎄 10 Days of Holiday Cheer
From Monday, December 9th, through Friday, December 20th, we’ll be spreading holiday joy with our 10 Days of Holiday Cheer Spirit Weeks. Students can add festive accessories to their uniforms to match each day’s theme and participate in the fun!

❄️ Winter Wonderland
Step into a magical Winter Wonderland on Wednesday, December 13th, from 4:30-6:30 PM. Enjoy an evening filled with holiday activities, family fun, and festive cheer.

🧁 Muffins with Moms
Moms and mother figures, join us on Monday, December 11th, from 8:30-9:30 AM, for a morning filled with muffins, meaningful connections, and tips on supporting literacy at home. Students can also take a commemorative photo for just $5.

🍩 Donuts with Dads
Dads and father figures, we look forward to seeing you on Monday, December 18th, from 8:30-9:30 AM for donuts, great conversations, and literacy tips. Students can also take a special photo with you for $5.

While we celebrate the season, please remember that the Middle of the Year assessments will be taking place the week of December 9th. Students are expected to be present, prepared, and on time, ready to work and engage in these important assessments.

Thank you for being a valued part of our school community. We look forward to celebrating with you while continuing our focus on student growth and success.

 

Warm regards,
Principal Relista Ward

TechCorner

Welcome to this month’s Tech Corner! Here’s the latest on keeping tech in top shape for learning success:

 

Bring Devices Charged & Ready to Go!

Students, remember to bring your devices fully charged each day! A charged device means you're ready to jump into every lesson without interruptions. If you're having trouble keeping it charged, try setting a reminder each night or creating a charging station at home.

 

Tech Tip of the Month: Manage Battery Life

  • Close Unused Apps: Having many apps open drains your battery.
  • Dim Your Screen: Lower brightness settings to help extend battery life.
  • Power Off Weekly: Give your device a break by powering it off at least once a week.
  •  

Recommended Apps for Student Success

This month, we recommend Google Keep for quick note-taking and reminders, and Khan Academy for free, on-demand help across subjects. Both apps are perfect for study sessions and are easy to use on any device!

 

Keeping your tech ready means smoother learning experiences for everyone—let’s make this month a powerful one with fully charged devices and new tools for success!
