📅 → Thursday, January 8, 2026
⏰ → 8:30 - 9 AM

Tiered learning has been helping students thrive for years — and many parents don’t realize how much it impacts individual daily learning, confidence, and growth.

Attend this special event with Principal Angie Dufner (hosted by the MPES PTO) to understand how teachers tailor instruction to meet each child exactly where they are.

In this 30-minute session, you’ll learn what tiered learning is, the results to expect, and how to support your child’s success in ways that will ensure they get what they need to flourish - every single day.
