Welcome to this week's edition of the Mt. Stuart Family Flight Plan! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.

5/8/26

This week was a busy one with state testing for upper grades starting up and 5th Grade Camp closing out our week. Next week we have some field trips and more testing for upper grade classes. It’s also Staff Appreciation Week. Please join us in thanking our staff for their hard work and care this school year! As the year starts to wind down, please note the dates for upcoming events like the MSE BBQ, Field Day, etc. as there are some things you may want to join us at school for. Thanks for your support this year. It’s amazing to see so much growth from our students!

As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety, the MSE Safety Committee needs your support. We need to remind families that we are unable to provide supervision before 8:45 a.m. each day and thus cannot guarantee the safety of any child who is dropped off prior to that time. 

To ensure all students are safe and are properly supervised, please plan for your child to arrive no earlier than 8:45 a.m. Your student(s) MUST remain in your supervision until that time.

If you arrive at school prior to 8:45 am:

Park your vehicle a designated parking spot

You and your child(ren) must remain in your car until the supervision period officially begins at 8:45.

DO NOT drop off your students unattended before 8:45.

We require, and greatly appreciate your support and cooperation in adhering to our MSE Safety Procedure. Together, we can ensure all students are safe and secure.

Working to keep everyone safe!

Hello Parents/Guardians,

Our Lost and Found collection is overflowing!

Please take a moment to check with your student to see if they are missing any coats, lunchboxes, water bottles, or other belongings.

We’ve recently noticed an increase in students bringing highly processed snack foods—such as spicy chips like Takis—for breakfast or classroom snacks. While these items may be popular, they are not the best choice to support students’ health, focus, and learning.   The intense spices can also be harsh on young digestive systems and may cause discomfort during the school day.

Please also remember that our school provides a free healthy, balanced breakfast for all students each morning. This is a great option to ensure children start their day with the nutrition they need to learn and feel their best.  

Thank you for your support in helping your child make choices that promote their well-being and success at school.  

If you plan to send in birthday treats for your child's class, or snacks, please make sure they are bite-sized and meet our district wellness policy.

As outlined in District Policy 6700P:

Thank you for helping us celebrate in a way that keeps all students safe and healthy.

To ensure a safe and smooth drop-off and pick-up experience for everyone, please make note of the following parking updates:

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our parking lots safe and accessible for everyone!

Please Parent Square or email the office by 3:00 PM if your student has a change of plans for the end of the day. We have many activities happening during this time, and having the change in writing helps ensure we get the message to your child correctly. Thank you!

If you are looking for a gift idea for grandparents or others, check out Artsonia. They will use your child's picture to make gift items. Our school receives a percentage of sales that we use to purchase art supplies.

We love our volunteers! 💙 If you’d like to help out at school, stop by the office to pick up a volunteer application. Please bring a copy of your driver’s license when you turn it in. Once your application is approved by the district, it will be valid for 2 years.

If you’d like to be a substitute or an employee in our school district, head to ESD401.org
