Dear MES student guardian,
Multiple children have become ill while at school today. Symptoms that we have observed in students that have resulted in them getting sent home are:
Stomach aches
Headaches
Throwing up
And fevers.
If your child becomes ill, prompt medical attention or treatment may help resolve the illness. It may be necessary to keep him/her at home until the symptoms resolve or until your child receives treatment.
Those who get flu-like symptoms at school should go home and stay home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medicine. Those who have emergency warning signs should get immediate medical care.
By notifying you of this possible exposure, we are providing the best possible care for your child. When we notify you of an illness, we are trying to control the spread and prevent new cases of illness. We try to keep our children healthy and happy while at school.
We will be increasing the disinfecting classrooms, drinking fountains, and other areas that are touched by students. There will also be increased efforts to wash and sanitize hands. As well as masks for students and families who request access to them. We appreciate any considerations you make to help support the healthy climate here at MES. Please reach out to the school with any follow-up questions.
Don't forget....Tonight from 6-8 in the MES multipurpose room there is a pajama dance. Thank you PTA.
There will be a Pajama Jam Dance on Friday, January 31st in the multipurpose room. They will be dancing from 6 pm to 8 pm. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the school at (435)678-1180.

Dear Families,
Today we have the opportunity to walk to MHS and see the play White Christmas. We will leave the school at 140ish to be in our seats by 2:00. Please send your child(ren) in clothing that they can walk outside in, especially a warm coat. If you have concerns or questions about this event please reach out to the school at (435)678-1180.
Dear Parents,
I thought that a quick note should be sent regarding your children being sent home with their Chromebooks. It is MES' procedure that when there is a Winter Storm Warning we send Chromebooks home with students. If there was to be an actual Snow Day we would send you a message through this same platform that I am using right now. Most likely this would be done the morning of the virtual Snow Day. If you have any questions about this process please email me at jolson@sjsd.org or call the school at (435)678-1180. Thank you for your support in this process. Stay safe!
This week will be Career Week at Monticello Elementary School. On Monday students may dress up as what they want to be when they grow up. On Tuesday we will have the Future Fair. Occupations and Options for students at the high school will be coming to MES. This will let students explore what options they have for the future. The next two days should be filled with fun and learning. If you have any questions please reach out to the school at (435)678-1180.
Just a quick reminder that the Talent Show will be on Monday, November 25th from 12:30 to 1:30. If you have any questions reach out to the school at 435-678-1180.
There will be no school on Monday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.
Our picture retake day was scheduled for November 1st. We were contacted by the company and our picture packets will not be ready for November 1st. We will need to reschedule picture retake day for November 12th. I have attached the picture packet to this email for your convenience. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to the school at (435)678-1180.
It is the time of year where each child needs to bring a coat to school every day. We send students out to recess 99.5% of the days and we would like everyone to be comfortable outside. If you could please remember to send your child with a coat that has their name in it, we would really appreciate it. Our lost and found is already getting pretty big. If you need anything from us please reach out at (435)678-1180. Keep warm!
