Covid-19 Resources

Seattle MESA is here…

to continue supporting our students, teachers, and families in these unprecedented times.

We are working on developing our online tutoring portal, we will post it here once it is open for students to take advantage of this resource.

In the meantime, below are resources on free food, information on Covid-19, and STEM-focused activities students can do at home.
