Dear MSE-Mendenhall Families,

It is with great regret that I inform you that we did not receive funding for our 2026–2027 Pre-K program. We understand how important this program is to our families and how disappointing this news may be.

Please know that we are actively reaching out to other organizations and potential partners in hopes of securing additional support and funding opportunities for our Pre-K program. We remain committed to serving our students and families in every way possible.

If your child turns 5 years old between August 16 and September 30, please reach out to the school to discuss the possibility of Early Kindergarten Entry testing.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support as we work through this process together.

Thank you for being a valued part of our MSE-Mendenhall family.

Hello MSE Families,

We are excited to welcome you and your students as they prepare to begin their high school journey as
incoming Freshmen. To help support a smooth transition, we invite you to attend an upcoming Parent
Information Session with us at Memphis School of Excellence-Winchester.

This session is designed specifically for parents and guardians of rising 9th grade students. During the
meeting, we will share important information about academic programs, graduation requirements,
extracurricular opportunities, and the support systems available to help your student succeed. There will
also be time to ask questions and connect with school staff.

Information Session Details:
Date: May 7, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM
Location: Memphis School of Excellence-Winchester(Cafeteria)

We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to attend. Your involvement plays an important role in
helping your student start high school with confidence. We look forward to partnering with you and
welcoming your family to our school community.
