Although we do not have a formal specialty program, MVES offers intensive instruction in Reading and Math, provides instructional support using assistants, uses differentiation in teaching, recognizes our students as gifts, values the fine arts, and gives students a high degree of competency in technology.
Our parent community is highly involved with and actively supports our instructional programs. Parents participate through membership on the MVES Advisory Council, the PTA, and our parent volunteer program.
Parenting classes and information meetings are offered yearly at MVES.
Parent volunteers provide many extra hours and hands of help throughout the year.
