Mandeville Elementary School

“a great place to learn.”

Dear Parents:

Welcome to Mandeville Elementary School , a GREAT place to learn. It is our mission to join hands and give each student who enters our school the power to reach their potential and achieve the goal of success in the academic world and the world in which they live. Our children are our future and as we join our hands to support them now; they will join hands to support us in years to come.

Mandeville Elementary has been recognized by the United States Government as a National School of Excellence – a “Blue Ribbon School.” We are very proud of this honor and continue to reach for excellence. Our theme this year is: “R.O.D.E.O. - Reaching Out Discovering Exciting Opportunities.” We will focus on engaging students and utilizing opportunites to develop our potential.

We will continue to have monthly parent coffees and are looking forward to seeing all of you at these. During these coffees we will listen, share, and collaborate for the well-being of our students. These are for any prospective families and for our current families. The dates will be posted on the school calendar.

This handbook is a guide to help answer questions you may have about our school policies and procedures. Please review the information contained in this handbook as well as the St. Tammany Parish School Board's Discipline Policy. If you have any questions or need further information, please call the school.

We have a very active volunteer program and encourage everyone to become involved. It is a fact that children perform better in school when parents are involved. We welcome you and appreciate your involvement in your child's education at school and at home. Joining our PTA is a terrific way to be involved. Our PTA supports our children and is crucial to the success of our children.

Please visit our parish website at www.stpsb.org and our school website at http://mandevilleelementary.stpsb.org to learn more about our school.

We are looking forward to a great school year. If you have any questions regarding anything during the year, please call the school at 985-626-3950. We will be glad to assist you at any time.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful children with us. They are the most important treasures you have and we are honored to share in their development.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Laine
Principal
