Fresh fruit and vegetables are provided daily to MES students.

This has been made possible by a grant that our food service director, Carrie Caudill, applied for and received.

The Dental team is scheduled to be at Minford for students in grades 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7.

On September 30, the team will be providing sealants for students in 2nd and 6th grades.

They will also provide fluoride treatments for students in 3rd and 7th grades.

The team will be located in the former Vo-Ag room in the 4th grade hallway next to the library.  Students must return a signed permission slip to participate.

We are excited to announce that we will be switching to Remind to send out all school and district communications in the near future.  This will replace the old system of dialing and sending automated calls.  This is mostly a Text Message only system, except for Emergency calls, it can call landline phones with an audio call.  We have many of our parents' cell phone numbers in our system, but not all.  We will be sending out test messages in the next few days.  If you did not receive the message, then we do not have your cell phone number as a primary number in our system.  You can visit our Remind portal to manually sign up for messages from a specific building or contact your school's office to update them with your latest cell phone number.  Here is the link to the Falcon Remind Portal
