Welcome to Marguerite E. Small Elementary School!

The Marguerite E. Small Elementary School provides a foundation for lifelong learning by establishing an educational environment that is safe, nurturing, engaging, and rigorous. Our school serves students in grades Pre-K through Grade 3. Our core values are to be Respectful, Responsible, Ready for Learning, Caring, and Safe. That is the Dolphin Way!

We are committed to celebrating the unique strengths of every student, and we believe that strong relationships, high expectations, and a collaborative school community are the foundation of student success. The staff at MES works hard to develop confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. We are proud of the opportunities our students have to explore new ideas, build meaningful relationships, and make a positive impact both inside and outside the classroom. 

We recognize that education is most successful when schools and families work together. We encourage you to reach out to our Administrative Team at any time, as we welcome your partnership, feedback, and ideas. We look forward to working closely with you to help every student reach their full potential.

Whether you are a returning family or visiting our school website for the first time, we are delighted to welcome you. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, events, and the many opportunities available to our students and families. 

Best, 

Jesse Craddock - Principal

Kelly Bohl - Assistant Principal
