About

Matapeake Elementary School, home of the Mariners, is home to approximately 434 students and 60 staff members. Our school serves students from Pre-K through fifth grade.

A student of Matapeake Elementary School will be well-educated, globally competitive, and prepared to become a caring, productive citizen of the 21st century.

The mission of Matapeake Elementary School is to ensure that every child demonstrates a commitment to reach his or her highest potential of ability in the areas of intellect, physical, emotional and social development. Students will do this by participating in differentiated, engaging, equitable, and rigorous instruction which incorporates research-based teaching strategies that utilize technological advances, and encourage curiosity, creativity, compassion and perseverance. This also includes a strong partnership with families in our community.

We’re excited that a new school year is underway! We wish all of our Mariner students and families a successful and enriching school year.

– Ms. Carrie Mitten, Principal
