Welcome to Memorial Park Elementary School!  

On behalf of the entire Memorial Park Elementary School staff, I welcome you to the Waterville Central School District.  I am Mr. St. Peter the principal of this school and proud member of the MPS family which includes children in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. The staff at Memorial Park Elementary shares an excitement and enthusiasm for learning, which you can feel as you walk through the hallways and sit in classrooms. Learning is what we do here at MPS, as that excitement and enthusiasm is shared with our students each and every day.

The Mission of the Waterville Central School District is to prepare each student to be successful and productive contributors to society.  In doing so, the teachers and staff at Memorial Park set high academic and behavior expectations for all of our children.  We celebrate our successes as we challenge and enrich each child.   We use consistent progress monitoring assessments to guide our instruction and to provide the appropriate interventions when necessary.  We look at each child as an individual and differentiate our instruction in order to meet his/her needs.  As we strive to provide the best instruction for each child, we believe strongly that this instruction has to be supported in the home and by the community.  When we all work together, our children have the best opportunity to reach their full potentials. 

It is an honor and a privilege to be serving you and your children as the principal of Memorial Park Elementary School.  I look forward to sharing the 2009-2010 school year with each of you and working with you to ensure that each child has a safe and successful learning experience. 

Sincerely, 

Matthew James St. Peter

Principal
