Dear Mabel Mattos Elementary Community,

It is my honor to welcome you Mabel Mattos Elementary School, a learning community school in the Milpitas Unified School District. We will open in our founding year as a K-2 school. It will be my pleasure developing the relationships that will bring us together in service of our students. I know 2018-19 is going to be a wonderful year of joy and growth for all of us.

At Mattos, we will strive for excellence in developing our young people to become all they aspire to be. We will do this with a caring community of staff, students, and parents who work together to create academically and emotionally nurturing environments supporting the various modalities of learning. Students will reach proficiencies in core content standards as well as learning and innovation skills to become creative, innovative, self-directed learners to apply skills with the moral imperative of social responsibility to better humanity.

Inherent in our learning communities will be systemic structures that will guide responsiveness to our students academic and social emotional needs through personalized learning, which supports students in getting the instruction and direction they need when they need it. Our learning communities will also provide multiple opportunities for students to engage in learning using the learning modalities that suit their learning styles.

I look forward to partnering with you as we open Mabel Mattos Elementary, MUSD’s first learning community school opening August 2018!

Dr. Jackie Vo-Felbinger

Founding Principal, Mabel Mattos Elementary School
