Only two months left before the school year is complete. How time flies! This weekend, our best friends' son got married. We spent a lot of time in the past few day reminiscing about the little boy he used to be. From the day he was born to the hours (and HOURS) spent on the baseball field to graduation and all the memories in between, it seems like only yesterday we were sharing elementary school pictures and dreading the "middle school years." Now he's all grown up and starting his own family - how he's progressed from that little boy who struggled to sit still on the carpet in kindergarten!

As I look at our Eagles, I can't help but think of the growth that we've seen in them since the beginning of this year. In academics, maturity - and in height! - our students continue to progress and get ready for their next stage, whether it's here at MWE or at their next setting. In the upcoming months, we will be taking both district and state assessments to measure some of that academic progress, but the true measurement doesn't always come in the form of a paper and pencil test. Sometimes you see it in an asked question or in a connection that is made. It's in a problem-solved or a relationship created. Progess can be demonstrated in a myriad of ways - how is your student showing you his/her growth?

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 29, 2025, and join Spring Branch ISD for “Healthy U” – a virtual Mental Health Conference, happening from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Zoom! This is your chance to learn relevant information about the mental health challenges facing today’s youth—all from the comfort of your home. Gain access to valuable resources, exciting prizes, exclusive giveaways, and much more!

Don’t miss out on this free, engaging event designed for the entire community. Let’s learn, grow, and support each other in making mental health a priority!

Our goal for class placement is to provide the optimum learning environment for every child. We do our best to meet this goal, considering a variety of aspects including district, state, and federal mandates.

We value parent input for helping us understand your child’s specific needs, and every year, give parents the opportunity to give us insights that might help us in providing the best classroom setting. If you wish to fill out the optional Parent Input Form, we welcome your thoughts on the questions provided. Please note that we ask that you do NOT request a specific teacher. Because of the above-mentioned district, state, and federal requirements and other factors, we are not able to honor every request that we receive. In addition, we are also not able to honor other specific requests regarding classmates, etc.

Parent Input Forms are due to Mrs. Barry by March 28, 2025. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Barry.

Reminder: Every week we have T-2-4 Tuesday - students are encouraged to wear their favorite college or military shirt. Fridays are MWE Spirit Day! Wear your Eagle attire!

This Friday is our special Dinosaur George event!! We are bringing a natural history museum to you! Dinosaur George is a traveling museum showcasing a diverse range of prehistoric creatures, with a primary focus on dinosaurs. All students will go through the museum during the school day, and we invite you to attend with your friends and family that evening as well at no charge. Note in the evening you can purchase fun items from their souvenir shop via credit card, debit card, and check.

Join us for MWE‘s first schoolwide Art Show on Wednesday, April 2nd from 5-7PM! Students have created fabulous artwork, and it’s time to celebrate their creations!

PreK, Kinder & 1st grade artwork includes their handprint within a painting; 2nd grade created marbleized peacocks; 3rd grade painted family portraits; and 4th and 5th grade created incredible self portraits.

Please join us for a special evening to celebrate these masterpieces which have been professionally matted and framed. These will be on display at the Art Show and available for a purchase price of $25! Additionally, we will have entertainment and complimentary light bites for your enjoyment. Feel free to stop by for a few minutes or stay for the full two hours. We are encouraging all students to join us with their families. We are so proud of our MWE students! A special thank you to the Art Queen for making this possible!
