Happy New Year!!

Wow, I Can’t believe that it is 2020. Hope everyone had a relaxing 2 weeks off.

This week we took the Language Nwea. Next week will be the Reading Nwea and following week will be the Math Nwea. After the testing is all done I will send home a paper on how your child did compared to the Fall. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call or send an email.

Thank-you,

Mrs. Washington

Send materials in with your child by May 28th. If you want to know more about the STEAM program in Dearborn, check out their blog.

Items to Donate:

Thank-you in advance for donating materials.

Teacher Appreciation Week- May 6- May 10, 2019

Teacher Appreciation Week- May 6- May 10, 2019

Dear Maples Families,
Teachers play a key role in student success and sometimes a simple “thanks” is all a teacher needs to feel valued. Take the time to celebrate your children’s teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week May 6-10, 2019.
Maples PTA created a list of activities for your children to do each day next week to show their appreciation for their teacher. Please take the time to review these activities with your children and do not forget to thank your child’s teacher next time you see her.

Thank you very much for your continuous support!
