LUNCH VISITORS MAY BEGIN 9/19
MBES will not accommodate lunch visitors until CogAT and Iowa testing are complete. The earliest date for lunch visitors is
September 19th. Lunch visitors
must
- sign in at the front office
- be verified that the enrolling adult has granted permission for the visitor to be on campus
- only stay for the duration of the lunch period
As an increased safety measure, the front office will need to check all ID's of lunch visitors and verify that the enrolling adult has listed the visitor on the student's registration card. If a lunch visitor is not listed on the registration card, they will be denied access.
Lunch access in the coming weeks may include an understanding that visits will be standing room only for adults.
Official communication to follow.

WELL-BALANCED STUDENT PRESENTATION
Thursday, October 11th
6:30-8:00 pm
Walton High School Theater
A presentation for parents of K-12 students
When we are too focused on grades and performance, we deny our children the time and energy they need to tackle the demanding work of growing up. In this presentation, you'll learn how you can establish a healthier home environment for your child, reduce academic stress without sacrificing achievement, and increase your child's resilience, creativity, and well-being. It's only in partnership with you
,
the parents, that we can achieve our mission at Challenge Success.
