Traffic Reminders!
We all know the MES carline can be chaotic and stressful, especially at the beginning of the year. Please remember to be patient with everyone. Our goal is always to get everyone in and out of school safely. Here is the traffic map if you need a refresher.


Food Service Update: During the height of the pandemic the federal government allowed all students to eat free of charge. Congress did not extend that benefit for our new school year. Students may still qualify, but will be required to fill out a free/ reduced application form. Applications can be filled out online at schoolcafe.com/milanssd or a paper copy will be available at each of the schools. Only one application per family is needed.
Lunch prices for the 2022/2023 school year will be $2.75 for MMS and MHS students and $2.50 for MES. Breakfast will remain free of charge.


Registration for the 2022-2023 school year is open for all returning and new students.
