Rachel Jury
Principal

(503) 262-4006

Rachel Jury has spent the past 14 years working with students with special needs. Her career started with the New York City Teaching Fellows where she spent 7 years as a Special Education teacher in New York City. She then made the decision in 2015 to move across the country to Portland, OR, where she spent her first 3 years as a Learning Specialist at Molalla River Middle School before deciding to become a school administrator. She has a passion for helping all students grow and learn, especially those faced with learning challenges, so when she was offered the assistant principal position with MESD at Wheatley School in 2018, she happily accepted. She has spent the past 4 years as an assistant principal helping to support the growth of staff and students and working to build a culture of inclusiveness and positivity at Wheatley. Now she looks forward to expanding on that work as she steps into the role of principal
In her free time she likes to hang with her pup, Lupin, go for walks, visit the coast, and spend time with friends. On longer breaks she enjoys going back to the east coast to spend quality time with her family. She is an avid collector of plants, specifically philodendrons, and loves to fill her work and home spaces with them to create a calming environment.

Mary McElmurry
Administrative Assistant

msmith@mesd.k12.or.us

This is my eighth year with MESD and my sixth year at Wheatley.  I have worked in education for 20+ years.  I love the students and the exciting things that happen daily at our school.  I am amazed at our staff and the ability they have to help our students succeed.  I am married to an amazing man who supports me in all that I do.  I have three terrific children. One on the Autism spectrum, so I know some of the challenges related to having a child with special needs and can relate to parents on many levels. If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to ask.   I love to travel with my kids, arts & Craft projects, movies, listening to 70s music and especially trips to the beach.
