Dear Mandarin Oaks Families,
Welcome to another exciting school year at Mandarin Oaks Elementary! I am thrilled to begin my 9th year as principal of this incredible school community—a place that truly feels like a second home to me. As both a leader and a parent of two MOE students, I have the unique joy of experiencing our school through both lenses, and I couldn’t be prouder of the nurturing, innovative, and inclusive environment we’ve built together.
This year, we begin our journey as an Accelerated Studies magnet school and our theme is “Building Our Futures at MOE!”—a celebration of the growth, learning, and limitless potential that each student brings to our school. At MOE, we believe that every child is a builder of their own future, and we are here to provide the tools, support, and inspiration they need to thrive.
Our dedicated staff is committed to fostering a love of learning, encouraging curiosity, and creating meaningful connections with every student and family. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for another year, we are so glad you are part of the MOE family.
With gratitude and excitement,
Leigh Butterfield
