Mesa Verde Elementary School

Built in 1978, Mesa Verde is a K-5 Elementary School with an enrollment of approximately 300 students. Being a smaller school, there is a real family feel. We are "tucked away" in quiet neighborhood called Mesaland which features older homes on large two acre lots.  In the 2024-2025 school year there are 13 general education classrooms and three self-contained special education classrooms including a K-2 cross-categorical and 3-5 cross-categorical.

The Mesa Verde Staff Family includes 13 general education teachers, 5 specialist teachers, 5 special education teachers, 11 special education support staff, a part time school psychologist, a library assistant, a health aide, an instructional technology assistant, a behavior intervention monitor, an attendance clerk, an educational assistant, an administrative assistant, 2 custodians, 3 campus monitors, 3 cafeteria staff, 3 bus drivers, and 2 Community Extension Program Directors. The staff is dedicated to working together to provide a “village” of support for our students and families.

Mesa Verde has very high expectations for all students both academically and behaviorally. Staff members do a wonderful job helping students acquire the skills necessary for solving conflicts using a variety of methods. Staff reinforce the components of our code when speaking with students.  We have the PAWS Ticket Program, Student Council, and numerous afterschool programs that help teach the importance of caring for others, being kind to others, listening to ideas, and helping to improve Mesa Verde.

Mesa Verde believes in helping the community and giving back.  One of the ways we do this is by participating in a Healthy Heart Day to raise money for the American Heart Association as well as to promote fitness. Some other student programs at Mesa Verde include Odyssey of the Mind, the School and District wide Spelling Bee, Track Meet for 4th and 5th graders, Music, Band, Orchestra, 2nd-5th Grade Choir, and Art.  Students receive awards for Academic Achievement, Spreading Kindness, and more.
