MPE fosters an environment where individual differences are accepted and valued. Memorial Parkway Elementary is an early childhood through 5th grade Bilingual, Title I campus in Katy ISD. The campus currently houses Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), Young Children with Autism Program (YCAP), and Autism Support and Intervention Program (ASIP) children with disabilities. Memorial Parkway Elementary is also home to the West-10 Regional Day School Program for the Deaf. Due to the nature of the various special language programs at MPE, we have often been referred to as the first Trilingual Campus in Katy ISD. The campus enrollment has been slightly growing for the last few years. Our bilingual and economically disadvantaged population have continued to increase slightly over the past five years. Last year our enrollment ended at 740 students.

One of the core beliefs at Memorial Parkway Elementary is that students, staff, and community members thrive best in a safe and secure environment that is fully immersed in positivity and clear expectations for every procedure. Therefore, Memorial Parkway Elementary continues implementing School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports or PBIS is a school-wide discipline program with an emphasis on school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments.
Components of PBIS include:

A purpose and approach to discipline
A clear set of positive expectations and behaviors
Procedures for teaching expected behavior
A continuum of procedures for encouraging expected behavior
A continuum of procedures for discouraging inappropriate behavior
Procedures for on-going monitoring and evaluation

In addition to PBIS, Memorial Parkway Elementary will continue the Ron Clark Academy House System in the 2025-2026 school year. The Ron Clark Academy House System is a dynamic, exciting, and proven way to create a positive climate and culture for students and staff. Using RCA’s methods the school will be able to confidently implement processes that build character, relationships, inclusive community, and school spirit. Students are celebrated for their efforts through a process that builds character, empowers academic excellence, fosters school spirit, enhances relationships, and promotes a culture of belonging for all.
The Ron Clark Academy House System at Memorial Parkway Elementary features six houses — Each House has unique properties such as its own color, symbols, nation of heritage, history, and more. Over time, each House also starts to take on its own values and personality-driven by the culture of the students and staff within it.
The houses and colors at Memorial Parkway Elementary:
Altruismo (Black)
Amistad (Red)
Isbindi (Green)
Reveur (Blue)
Sollevare (Yellow)
Nukumori (Purple)

Memorial Parkway Elementary enjoys strong support from parents, the community and local businesses. The PTA supports classroom teachers and students by providing their time and energy to prepare instructional materials, volunteering, and appreciating students and staff. They also provide funds for a variety of projects ranging from staff development and classroom enrichment materials to guest authors and illustrators. MPE encourages family participation through special events such as PTA meetings, Open House, S.T.E.A.M. Night, Health and Fitness Night, Math and Literacy Curriculum Night, Grandparents Day, Multicultural Night and Book Fair. Community participation is also provided through PTA activities such as Breakfast with Santa, and Spirit Nights.

An inherent, heartfelt belief that all children can succeed is the driving force behind Memorial Parkway's success.
