Tier 1 Math Instruction in Action at MRES!
Our Wildcats are building strong math skills every day! Through Number Talks and engaging math learning experiences, students are learning to explain their thinking, make connections, and use different strategies to solve problems.
Students are also purposefully using hands-on math tools and manipulatives to deepen their understanding of important math concepts—not just finding an answer, but understanding the why behind the math.
We are proud to see our teachers putting their professional learning into action and creating classrooms where students are thinking, reasoning, discussing, and growing as mathematicians!




We are excited to announce that Mission Road Elementary won the Backpack Buddies 5K Sign-Up Competition for the SECOND year in a row!
Thanks to our incredible Mission Road families, staff, and community, we had the most participants sign up for the 5K!
We are so grateful to everyone who registered and helped support the Backpack Buddies program, which makes such a meaningful difference for students and families in our community.
Two years in a row! Way to show up, Wildcats!
Thank you for always supporting Mission Road and our community!


Be sure to check out this month’s newsletter for our September Reading Challenge, Math Corner with fun ways to practice math at home, and Reading at Home tips.
We love partnering with our Wildcat families to support learning at home!




Recently, our teachers participated in math professional learning focused on the Four Strands of Mathematical Proficiency, exploring ways to strengthen Tier 1 math instruction and help students become confident, successful mathematicians.
Teachers also learned more about Number Talks—a strategy that encourages students to share their thinking, build strong number sense, solve problems in different ways, and explain their mathematical reasoning.
We are excited to bring this learning into our classrooms as we continue providing meaningful Tier 1 math experiences for all of our Wildcats!
Excellence Every Day – That’s the Wildcat Way!
