All 6th grade and new students need to purchase a uniform. Returning 6th and 7th graders may wear their uniform from last year if it still fits.
Remember that t-shirts and shorts are mandatory. All other apparel is optional.
Uniforms will be handed out the first week of school.

Watch out for us in the Mokena parade today! Happy 4th of July!
At last night's Board meeting, the Board approved the interim superintendent contract for Steve Stein. Previously, Stein served as the superintendent of Peotone 207-U and Mokena 159, and principal of MES. Welcome back to Mokena!
Dr. Johnson will serve as interim July 1-31. Stein will serve beginning August 1.
Today we opened the time capsule that the students and staff of Mokena 159 buried under the Playscape in 1997. We had so much fun looking at all of the treasures left inside 27 years ago!
We are holding a brief "Meet & Greet" with our incoming interim superintendent immediately following Monday's 6:00 pm Special Board Meeting. We hope you can join us!
Angler club members had a blast this school year!
