UPE February Parent/Teacher Conference Survey

We are always striving to offer a uniquely responsive and authentic level of customer service as well as excellence in academic learning.


Now that we are more than 1/2 way through the school year, we’d like your feedback regarding the quality of our work with your child and family so far. We study and reflect on your feedback in terms of things we should “keep doing,” “start doing,” or “stop doing.” It helps our team a lot! Thank you!


Looking forward to seeing you at conferences!

It’s almost time to apply for Preschool for the 2022-2023 school year!

*Applications accepted online beginning Tuesday, March 1st!


We have a limited capacity for 15 children in our preschool class, so we will be filling those spots first to in-district children prioritizing children with special needs along with considerations such as balancing girl/boy ratio, age ratio, risk factors, etc. There is no enrollment guarantee, as preschool is currently an optional program.

  • Out-of-district applicants will be placed on a waiting list and notified in August if there is space available.
  • Your child must be 3 or 4 by September 1st and must be fully potty trained.
  • Please check out important information about our Preschool program on our website.


You will need to fill out a registration/application on the school district website at:

http://www.mssd14.org/cms/one.aspx?portalId=57448&pageId=14777553


We will notify in-district preschoolers of their enrollment status by the end of April.

For more information, call 685-2227 / or email lgrieb@mssd14.org
