Summer 2026 : Educational Request
We value your input and understand how important a positive learning environment is for your child's success.
To remain transparent, here is how our placement process works:
- Educational Input/requests were due on May 1st. This parent input helps staff consider specific learning needs and peer separations. These deadlines and reminders were shared via text and email notification through ParentSquare on April 10, 17, 18, 24, 25, and May 1 and 3, as well as on our website. Please note, the school does not accept requests for specific teachers.
- Next, teachers balance classrooms by considering special education needs, behavior, academics, and ensuring every student has a peer connection.
- Afterward, our administrative and special education teams review the lists to ensure balanced workloads and address confidential student needs.
By the time rosters are finalized, each class has been carefully balanced. While we take late requests seriously, making changes at this stage is difficult because it impacts the stability of the entire grade level.
Thank you for your understanding and advocacy for your student,
MVE Roster Committee
- 👮 We’ve partnered with South Jordan PD and our bus duty staff to make the front lot safer.
- 🚫 The front parking lot is no longer a drop-off/ Pick-Up zone for anyone (including special education).
- Buses will use the lot, which will be closed for parking from 8:45–9:15 AM.
- The lot will open again at 9:15 AM. It will close again during dismissal.
- You can still use the drop-off lane (marked by green cars) and other parking spots (marked by red cars) shown on the map.
- Please don’t park on the corners—buses can’t turn safely when cars are there, and it creates dangerous blind spots for cars leaving the carpool lane. Please don't plow over our cones 🙂
- 🚸 Kids copy adults. Please use crosswalks and walk around parking lots.
- 🚦 City safety guards off school property aren’t MVE employees. If you notice something wrong or no one is there, don’t hesitate to call 911—we’ve been instructed to do the same.
- 🤗 You’re always welcome in our building; we want a warm, inviting atmosphere, but student safety will always come first.
- ⏰ Please plan ahead: safety > convenience.

Please do not block traffic on 2700 W by attempting to turn into the front parking lot from 8:40-9:10 AM
