Mr. Mendez is available for tutoring almost every morning starting at 7:15 a.m. If you would like your student to get some extra help please email mendezz@usd430.org to ask if he has a spot available for extra tutoring help before school starts in the morning. He is available on a first come first serve basis.
This is an excellent opportunity to get some focused help on a subject your student is struggling with. This is also an excellent time to work on bringing a grade up which might be slipping, before it falls even further.

Everest Middle School presents a Veterans Day program each year. As a part of that program, the school creates a slideshow that includes photos of Veterans from Everest Middle School Alumni, student and staff families. We are able to carry over the show each year, but want to add pictures from the families of new students at EMS and any others that need added. You can send a digital copy to hutflesco@usd430.org. If you send a print copy with a student, we will scan it and return it that day. The deadline is Friday, November 5, 2021.
