					<description><![CDATA[Last week presented some unexpected challenges with early dismissal on Thursday and Friday. While it was not ideal, I am truly grateful for your patience, flexibility, and partnership. Challenges often bring lessons, and we are committed to using those lessons to improve our systems for safety and efficiency.

As a result, we are making a small but important change to dismissal procedures:

🚗 Car Rider Line:
We ask that all students be picked up through the designated car rider line no later than 3:30 PM.

🏫 After 3:30 PM:
Students who are not picked up by 3:30 PM in the car rider line will be relocated to the Elementary Cafeteria for pickup.

🚫 Front of Building Pickup:
Beginning today, students will no longer be picked up at the front of the building. All late pickups must report to the Elementary Cafeteria.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For 15 years, Memphis School of Excellence has proudly served the Hickory Hill community. What began as a 6–9 campus has grown into a PreK–8 school, allowing us to support our scholars earlier and walk alongside them longer.
 
Every 10 years, charter schools are required to reapply for renewal. This is a normal part of the process. We are not in jeopardy of closing — we simply must demonstrate that we are honoring our commitment to provide a safe, structured, STEM-focused environment where students thrive academically and grow in character.

 Anytime you visit the campus over the next two weeks — we are asking families to sign a support form indicating that you would like to see MSE remain open for another 10 years.

Your voice matters.
Your support matters.
Your partnership matters.
 
If MSE has made a difference in your child’s life, we ask that you please take a moment to sign.
 
It is truly an honor to serve as your principal. Thank you for trusting us with your children and for continuing to SOAR with us.
🦅 #EaglePride #MSEStrong #SOAR]]></description>

				<link>http://msem.sememphis.org/apps/news/article/2164180</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://msem.sememphis.org/apps/news/article/2164180</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[February is the month we celebrate Black History and honor the beauty, excellence, and legacy of culture. These dress out days are for ALL PreK–8th grade students, and everyone is invited to participate.

We originally planned for students to dress out each Friday; however, due to winter weather and school closures, we will make a small adjustment.

✨ Make-Up Day:
📅 Monday – Students may celebrate the beauty of melanin by wearing shades of brown to make up for the missed Friday.

Students will then continue to celebrate Black History Month by participating in our scheduled dress-out days as outlined on the flyer:

📅 2/13 – Black Icons Day
📅 2/20 – All Black Excellence Day
📅 2/26 – Decades Parade
Students should dress according to their assigned decade

📅 2/27 – Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) Day
Students may wear HBCU gear, college gear, or Greek colors representing who they aspire to be when they grow up.

A special thank you to our 5th grade team for their collaboration and leadership in planning this meaningful month of celebration. We look forward to honoring history, culture, and excellence together! 🦅✨]]></description>

Each rising 1st–3rd-grade student in our school ( current K-2)  will receive six high-quality books and activity pages this summer at no cost to you.
If you WOULD like to participate, no other action needs to be taken.
If you choose NOT to participate, use this link (or go here:bit.ly/MSEGELF2223) to complete the opt out form. Fill out the form completely. Taking this step will ensure your child will NOT receive the books. In order to opt out, you must do so by 4:00 CDT on Tuesday, February 28. After that time, we will not be able to remove your child from the recipient list.
 If you have multiple children in K-2 and want to opt-out, you need to fill out the form for each child.]]></description>
