The Mirror Lake Mission

The Mirror Lake Community works together to create a caring, supportive, and growth- oriented environment where individuals are valued. We facilitate a lifelong love of learning with recognition and respect for the diversity of others and the world around us.

Welcome Letter from the Principal

Hello and welcome to Mirror Lake Elementary. My name is Kent Cross, the school principal, and on behalf of our staff, it is a pleasure to greet you as partners in your child’s educational experience. Mirror Lake Elementary is fortunate to have highly qualified professional and dedicated staff members who are truly committed to providing your child with the best education in a caring environment. Our students take pride in being Respectful, Responsible, Cooperative, and they love to read!

We offer our students a full academic program that encompasses Kindergarten through Fifth grade. In addition, we have full-time professional educators who teach and enhance learning in general music, physical education and library skills. We also have highly trained math and two reading specialists on staff.

With our dedication to meet learning needs for all students, Mirror Lake hosts an English as a Second Language program, All-Day Kindergarten program, Basic Skills remedial reading program, Resource Room program, and an extended day reading intervention support. Thanks to a Washington Reading Corps grant, parent volunteers and community members tutor over 100 students three times a week in reading.

We know that open, positive, two-way communication is essential in a good partnership. Feel free to schedule an appointment with your child’s teacher or myself if we can help answer any questions that you may have. We are thrilled to have Mirror Lake be your school of choice.

Respectfully,
Mr. Kent Cross, Principal
Mirror Lake Elemenatry School
