About

Welcome to Merlinda Elementary School!

At Merlinda, we believe every child has the potential to achieve greatness. Our dedicated staff works hard each day to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where students feel valued, challenged, and inspired.

We are proud to offer a strong academic program rooted in high expectations, equity, and excellence. Just as importantly, we emphasize the development of character, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning.

At the heart of our success is a strong partnership between school, home, and the community. We encourage families to stay involved, stay connected, and join us in creating a positive and enriching experience for all students.

Thank you for being part of our Merlinda family. Together, we will help every child soar!

Warm regards,
