Our School

Welcome to PHE!

Pleasant Hill Elementary (PHE) school supports student in TK through 5th grade.

Our staff is experienced, loving, and kind. We have teachers who have been teaching at PHE for 25+ years as well as a few teachers who attended PHE as students themselves! Our teachers collaborate on a weekly basis to design, evaluate, reflect on, and improve their instruction to better support all students. We are blessed with a caring, connected community and an active PTA, which funds numerous programs and positions on campus. We are also proud to host three Autism specific programs, which support student in class with academic and executive functioning and on the blacktop with social emotional skills. 

PHE is an AVID school. AVID means Advancement Via Individual Determination. We strive to empower students to take ownership of their education and to provide the skills to learn independently. We teach students strategies for Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization and Reading (WICOR) in order to help our Dinos be college and career ready. 

Thanks to the generous work of our PTA, we have a STEAM lab and a Garden lab, where students are supported to understand the natural world as well as the scientific design process. We also have a Reading Lab that supports students in grades 1 - 3 who are behind on foundational reading skills. 

Pre-enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year for TK and Kinder opens January 16, 2024. PHE's enrollment day for TK and Kinder, 24-25 will be February 7th and 8th at MDUSD's  Enrollment Center. 

1st - 5th grade pre-enrollment opens March 8, 2024.
