We Need Your Help!
As the Superintendent of Mesick Consolidated Schools, my goal is to create an environment where EVERY student can grow and thrive academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally. We realize that we are NOT presently serving every student that way. The help that we need is as follows:
*Beginning in January, we will send out several short surveys asking for your honest, direct critique and feedback regarding several aspects of the services Mesick Consolidated Schools provides for our students. We need to hear the good and, especially, the bad and the ugly on these upcoming surveys! Your voice matters! We cannot serve our students effectively if we do not hear from you. Thank you!
ATTENTION SENIORS: Just a friendly reminder that your Class Dues are due by next Friday December 15th. Any questions please see Mr. Shutler. Also, your Baby Picture and Senior Quote are due by Monday December 18th. Please send those items to Marilyn Smyser or Mr. Shutler
Parents of Seniors (Class of 2023)! If your student is thinking about college, an important step in the college going process is filing for the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This is the application that both the federal and state governments as well as colleges will use to award need based monies (grants) as well as loans. Colleges will use this to put together a financial package and help determine how much additional assistance a student may need!
The first step in this process is creating an FSA (Federal Student Aid) ID. I've attached a checklist of all the information you should need in order to create your FSA ID as well as my email address. If you need additional assistance setting up your FSA ID or have any other questions related to the college going process, please do not hesitate to reach out!
