 “Marvista Elementary
School is a school of excellence in the Normandy Park community. Our
school’s mission statement says: At Marvista, we educate all
students and expect excellence.” We have high expectations for
everyone of our 550 children who walk in the doors of
Marvista each
day.
We have an extremely
supportive PTSA that is rare to find. Our PTSA gains 100% membership
and supports our school academically. Every other year, our auction
brings successful results. Our PTSA also supports our Arts Block
program for 5th and 6th grade students. The
program includes instruction in marimba, orchestra, band and visual
arts.
At Marvista we believe in
integration of our curricula. An extensive amount of time has been
spent in staff development around literacy and we are now under
implementation of our district’s math initiative. We also rely
on our state’s Grade Level Expectations (GLE) and have worked on
creating curriculum maps which lead us in a direction of instruction
that meets state standards.
If you would like to visit
the Marvista family, please feel free to contact our school office.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at kimry@HSD401.org.”
With Gratitude,
