However, once the initial setup process is complete, your hot lunch orders should be quick and simple for the remainder of the year!
2023-2024 School Supplies List
There are specific items (listed below) that are required for teachers to deliver their educational programs. We appreciate your help in providing these supplies as it allows us to allocate more of our school funds to enhancing student learning.
Please send all supplies with your child in September. Your child's teacher will then distribute throughout the year as needed. Please do not permanently mark the supplies as you may be asked to exchange them.
If this causes any challenges, please reach out to administration right away and we will do our best to support you!
Reminders
Please let us know if your child is going to be late, absent, or leaving early by calling 1-844-434-8117 before 9:00 a.m. You can also report absences online at go.schoolmessenger.ca or by using the school messenger app. MCES uses Automated Student Absence Reporting (Safe Arrival) to help ensure the safety of our children.
