Our Big Ideas

Your Choice

As parents/guardians, you have a choice when it comes to your child’s education. You can choose to enroll your child in virtual school or in-person school for 2020-2021 – see more details outlined below.

Team Melissa

We must be partners and work together in order to provide the best possible experience for the students of Melissa Schools, with health and safety being our top priority.
