Disney Day - March 27th
Heritage raised the most money of all the elementary schools in our feeder area for MVHS Wish Week! We are so proud of our students and families for their generosity and support. To celebrate this amazing accomplishment, we will be having a Disney Day at school! Students are invited to wear their favorite Disney attire or dress up as their favorite Disney character for the day.
A couple reminders:
No masks
No face paint
And the best part… there is no cost to participate!

Looking Ahead: Our Class Placement Process
As we begin preparing for next year, we want to share a quick update on how we approach class placements. Rather than using a general input form, we are leaning into the deep expertise of our classroom teachers. Having spent the year getting to know your child’s academic, social, and emotional needs, our staff is uniquely positioned to build balanced, thriving classrooms for the fall.
A Collaborative Learning Model
Next year brings some exciting growth to the MPE experience! We will have several new faces joining our teaching staff, and we encourage you to start getting your students excited about the new journey ahead.
To provide the best possible support for every child, we utilize instructional models where our educators are committed to creating a cohesive, collaborative grade-level community where every student is supported by the whole team.
Building an Integrated Community
As we move into our initial year, we are intentionally working to create a thoughtful balance of students from both HE and SVE within our classrooms. This integration is essential to ensuring a unified, inclusive experience as we grow together as one MPE family.
Have specific insights to share?
If there is unique information regarding your child’s learning style that you’d like us to keep in mind, please reach out directly to their current teacher. We value your partnership and thank you for trusting our educators in this thoughtful process.
