A Grab and Go lunch will be provided tomorrow for school age children (snack provided for pre-k ages) as stated in tonight’s message from Mr. Pygott. Pull up to the entry of either MMS or MES between 11:15-12:30 for a sack lunch. An adult worker will meet you at your car to find out how many lunches are needed.
Starting Wednesday, we will also have 2 satellite locations with meals available. A bus will be parked at the office in Hyde Park and at the Post Office in Boody from 11:15-12:30 to best provide these lunches to our kids who do not live in Macon or Blue Mound. If you are interested in participating, we encourage you to call the office to let us know. We will, however, have plenty of lunches prepared, so this is not a requirement.
With the closure announcement made yesterday, we will NOT begin IAR testing on Monday. Instead, teachers will use class time to communicate E-learning expectations. Students will also be encouraged to take all materials home for the break.
Governor Pritzker and the State Superintendent of Schools announced that Illinois public schools will be closed starting Tuesday, March 17. Students will return to school on Tuesday, March 31. More information will follow for our E-learning plans and extra curricular activities.
