School Messenger Text Messages
If you do not receive School Messenger text messages from L'Anse Creuse, or Middle School East, when we send out information, please follow the steps below to OPT IN for text updates from LC and MSE. If you do not opt in, the messages will not come through to your phone.
Attendance Matters!
Reminder that attendance matters at MSE! Students learn and grow best when they are in school learning and interacting with their peers and teachers. Attendance letters are going to start going out this week for students who have already reached a level of excessive absences with referral to the Macomb County Truancy Officer as needed. Please ensure that your child is in school! If they are sick, or have an appointment, a doctor's note is required for the absence. Also, remember that school starts at 8:00am and any student arriving after 8:00 will be assigned a tardy which adds up to disciplinary action. If you are driving your child to school make sure you leave enough time to get them to school on time.

Book Club
MSE Wellness Time (aka Recess)
We will be officially starting recess this week during lunches to give kids a chance to interact socially and burn off some energy for the second half of the day! Thank you to all the parents who donated items. If you would still like to help out, please see the Amazon Wishlist below to help out! We will take any sports equipment or games!
Chromebook Insurance
Please see the attached flier below for Chromebook insurance in case your student's device sustains any damage throughout the course of the year. If you are a 7th or 8th grade parent, you will need to renew your insurance policy if you bought it last year. With middle schoolers, things happen! The prices to repair a chromebook add up fast and the student and parent is responsible for any damage to the school device. Common fixes include a new screen (which would run parents $58 to fix) or when a key pops off, the entire keyboard needs to be replaced (at a cost of $72). It's a great idea to sign up for the device insurance!
6th Grade Student Council Opportunity
Any 6th grader interested in running for student council, please complete the following application. It is due by Friday September 27th. Any questions??? Contact Mrs. Conger!
