Harris County Department of Health will come to MPE on Tuesday, February 28th and do an oral health presentation for our students during specials time.
Important Information:
Spring Photos are on Tuesday, January 28th. Photos will be sent home so parents can purchase individual sheets or packages.
Please do not park in the small lot next to the cafeteria. Those spots are reserved for our food service staff members only.
Morning drop off reminders for Car Riders. In the morning, our car rider line is open form 7:25 until 8:00 am. At 8:00 am the line is closed, and all parents are directed to the front office for drop off. The front office driveway opens to drop off up at 8 am.
For the safety of the campus, please do not park in fire zones in front of school. All fire zones are painted red and are located near the major entrances of the school. Cars parked in fire zones could be towed or ticketed. Please keep these areas clear for emergency vehicles.
Please make sure your child reads at least 30 minutes every night. Research says if a student reads every day for at least 20 minutes a day, they will hear 1.8 million words a year, and are more likely to score better than 90% of their peers.

From the Principal
In December, we had our first round of holiday parties. If you recall, starting in the beginning of the school year we started sending out reminders about students having two adult visitors and no other siblings attend the parties. In January, we surveyed our teachers, and 98% of them reported that the party experience was successful. In fact, as I walked in and out of classrooms during the parties, I noticed children seemed very happy to have their parents full attention. In addition, the extra space allowed some classes to have small performances and group table seating.
In addition, I wanted to remind everyone that our spring parties will be on March 5th and 6th. We will send the Pre-Raptor letter home in mid February.
Your Proud Principal,
Dr. Martinez
