Terry FoxSeptember 17 MEMS is proud to be participating in this year’s Terry Fox School Run.
Let’s get our fundraising going and show everyone how we can “try like Terry”!.
Donate to: http://www.terryfox.ca/MintoElementarySchool. Together, we can all make a difference.
School FeesSeptember 03 Student fees of $30 for grades K-8 and school supply fees of $30 for grades K-5 can be paid online using School Cash Online. We encourage parents to use the online option to pay for school fees but we can still accept cash at the school. Please pay fees by September 30th, 2021.

COVID-19 ProtocolsSeptember 03 Students will be expected to wear a mask when on the bus, in the hallways and common areas. Masks will not be required for students when in their classroom, eating, or outside on the playground.
Due to current COVID-19 protocols, we are unable to allow visitors into building without an appointment. However, parents are welcome to come to the office to drop off items for their child, or pick them up for an appointment for example. Parents will need to use the bell at the front of the building to be buzzed in the school. Please enter wearing a mask, sanitize at the station located on the left inside the main door, and speak with staff via the window at the office. Parents looking to pick up students at the end of the school day will continue to wait for their child in the parking lot. We thank you for your continued support and understanding in this matter.
New TimetableSeptember 02 We have revamped our school timetable for the upcoming school year. The timetable is reflected on the school hours section of his website. Below are some key changes to make note of:
Recess Changes
- Grade K-2 Recess 10:20 to 10:35
- Grade 3-5 Recess 10:00 to 10:15
- Grade 6-8 Recess 10:15 to 10:25
Lunch Changes

Note: Although the microwaves in the cafeteria will be available to grades 3-8. Grades 3-5 will be eating in their classrooms and will not be able to easily access the microwaves. This does not mean that they cannot heat up food items only that they will need to be able to transport items safely to and from the microwave area. Students will be asked to sanitize before using the microwaves and microwaves will be disinfected by staff between 3-5, and 6-8 use.
Dismissal Times
- K-2 at 1:55 pm (M-F)
