Kindergarten and Elementary

Magnolia Heights’ 3K students have 2-day or 3-day programs.  The Little Red Schoolhouse is a self-contained classroom for 3K students.  They have their own restrooms and kitchen facility in this quaint building, perfect for toddlers’ first school experiences.  3K day begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 11:30 a.m.

A 4K student’s day begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.  MHS also offers an extended care program so, if needed, children may stay until 5:30 p.m.  In addition to early childhood classes, 4K students also have classes in art, computer, music, and P.E.

5K students have the option of a half day program that begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 11:30 a.m. or a full day program that begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 2:30 p.m.  Extended care is available until 5:30 p.m. if needed.  In addition to early childhood classes, 5K students also have classes in art, computer, music, and P.E.

Elementary students have an average class size of eighteen students.  4K and 5K have classroom assistants.  MHS students are taught using a phonics-based reading program.  91% of our 5th grade class has received the President’s Excellence Award. 

Special classes for the elementary students are foreign language, art, music, computer, library, and P.E.  Each class presents a class play during the year.  Elementary students participate every year in a multicultural, world, or state fair.  They also participate in the Accelerated Reader Program.  Field trips are scheduled throughout the school year to the Pink Palace Museum, Playhouse on the Square, Memphis Zoo, Tunica River Park, Strawberry Plains, IMAX Theater, and many more.  The fifth grade schedules an overnight trip to the Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama, in April each year.

Bus service is available to DeSoto and Panola counties.
