Research shows that students learn more effectively and are more actively interested in education when their parents are involved in their school. Our culture of a parent participation school is important to the team approach in education — a team of students, teachers and parents working together.

Students at MSND & WPMS get to know each other well. They are in a classroom with the same teachers and students for 3 years. They also get to know other parents who come to help in the classroom, at lunch, with community service projects and at school activities. We all work together to assure maximum growth for our students — academically, intellectually, emotionally and physically. With the modeling of good value systems and an emphasis on the excitement and importance of learning, our students become well-rounded citizens of their school and larger community.

Our mission is to foster communication and build a sense of community so that parents, teachers, and administrators may cooperate intelligently in the education of our children. Specifically, we work to:

• Support parent volunteerism and school activities
  
  
• Promote parent education
  
  
• Create, enhance, and enliven a community ethic
  
  
• Promote a safe and secure environment for learning
