Principal's Message
Dear MVSD Preschool Families and Community,
As we approach the start of the new school year, I extend a heartfelt welcome to all our returning parents and families, and a special greeting to those who are joining our preschool community for the first time. We are thrilled to have you and your child as part of our preschool family and are dedicated to ensuring that your child's first experience in preschool is safe, positive, and enriching so they can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically on future school years.
On my second year as Principal of Preschool Programs, it is my honor to continue the work we started last year regarding increased parent-school communication and increased opportunities for parents to support our preschool programs not only as parent volunteers but also as parent leaders.
The safety of all of our young learners is of utmost importance to us. On behalf of our staff, I want to thank our families for entrusting their precious children to us. We encourage you to be involved in your child's education and to partner with us to make reality the hopes and dreams you have for your young children.
On behalf of our dedicated preschool programs staff, I wish you a memorable 2024-2025 preschool year!
Glenda Giron, Principal of Preschool Programs

ParentSquare - A New Communication Tool Coming Soon
We are excited to announce that we have adopted a new form of school-to-home communication that will be coming in the near future called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:
- Send and receive school and class information
- Share pictures and files
- See calendar items
- Sign up to volunteer
- Schedule parent-teacher conferences
- and much more . . . all in one centralized place!
All district and school, grade level and classroom information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text. More information coming soon. In the meantime, please update your email and cellphone number on the AERIES Parent Portal.
Keep Your AERIES Parent Portal Updated
It's crucial that you keep your child's information up to date through the AERIES Parent Portal in order to keep the lines of communication open between home and school. Updates can be made beginning now and throughout the year. Should you have any questions contact the school. Click here or on the graphic to the left to access the AERIES Parent Portal.
