Verse of the Day: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
Although it is fall, winter weather is upon us a well. With winter quickly approaching, please be reminded that in the event of inclement weather administration will send out a One Call letting families know if school is cancelled. It is the responsibility of each family to access each of their students' teacher's blog pages to get the day's homework assignments. Teachers plan to post all assignments by 10 a.m., however, with increased activity on the website, occasionally things can be slow to upload. If your child's teacher has not posted by 10 a.m. please check again. All homework is due the day classes resume.
Glass Entry Doors: Maplewood has asked that we not put any signage on the glass
doors to the ROC or CEL. If you would
like something posted on a bulletin board, please bring it to the office for
approval from administration.
Policy #5205: As a reminder, please note that if a student arrives to school after 8:10 or arrives to class three minutes late, they are considered tardy. This means that if a student is not present for opening, they are tardy. We ask that students arrive to school by 8 am to allow time to take backpacks to class and get ready for the day.
