Minnieville Elementary
Welcomes our Military Families with open arms!
Military Connected Student Resources
Minnieville
Elementary School is dedicated to serving our military-connected
families. With the Pentagon, Ft. Belvoir, and Marine Corps Base Quantico
so close we are fortunate to have many military-connected families in
our school community. We strive to serve these families by recognizing
the challenges and sacrifices of frequent moves and transitions. At
Minnieville, we want to make sure every student feels like Minnieville
is a place where they belong and a place where they can feel at home.

Our school counselors are here to help you make a smooth transition to
becoming part of the Minnieville family. Please contact the school
counselors with any questions or concerns you have.

Military Student Connect Support
Available Services and Adherence to Military Interstate Children’s Compact
Reading
Our reading specialist is Ashley Hoyle and our Title I reading
specialist is Whitney Maloy. Their prime responsibility is the literacy
learning of our students. This translates into many diverse roles
including PALS testing.
English Language Learners
Our
ESOL team includes Lindsey Le, Laura Salinas, Jennifer Smith, Shannon
Williams, Steven Wheeler, and Kathy Breitenfield. The ESOL team teaches
lessons that support your student's academic language development. ESOL
teachers work with small groups of students to develop reading, writing,
speaking, and listening skills. We collaborate with classroom teachers
to connect our lessons to the content--reading, math, science, and
social studies--and the skills that are being taught in the classroom.
Although we work with small groups, we also work in the classroom to
support student learning. Our focus is to help students develop academic
vocabulary and language skills that will enable them to understand and
apply content area learning.
Special Education
Our
Special Education team is made of Jennifer Dye, Caroline Boddie, Meghan
Cook, Krislyn Rohrbach, Amy Scott, Janie Haigh and Delcine Person. The
Special Education team serves students with IEPs to support their
academic success.
Additional Resources
Military Child Education Coalition is
a global, non-profit organization that focuses on ensuring quality
educational opportunities for all military children affected by
mobility, family separation, and transition.
Military OneSource has
a wealth of advice and helpful information to connect military families
to a wide variety of services, programs, partnerships, and
opportunities that are available to military personnel and their
families. Two particularly helpful articles include Parenting &
Children and For Military Youth and Teens.
The Exceptional Family Member Program: for Families with Special Needs

Member Program, EFMP, offers many services for military families. Here
are just a few of the ways it can help guide you to the resources your
family needs to thrive.
