We are excited to announce a new program that is starting at Maple.

Healthy Moves will be officially starting on Monday, January 30th. The program will run Monday-Thursday each week.

This is a 30-minute activity program that is done before school. A variety of physical activities includes a warm-up, cardiovascular activities, games, and a cool down/yoga stretch. Activities are adapted to be appropriate for each grade. This program is designed to stimulate physical activity for kids in grades kinder-to-5th, and this has the added benefit of preparing them to be able to focus better in the classroom.

• Healthy Moves Trainers will come to Maple at 7:45
• Breakfast will be adjusted to start at 7:55 each day.
• Beginning at 8:00, trainers will pull any student finished eating breakfast, or students who have already eaten at home to the gym to lead them in activity.
• There will be a cap of 80 students per day, no students brought after 8:15
• At 8:25 trainers will line up students by grade level and dismiss to class

We are excited this program will provide extra movement for our students each day!

Please contact the office if you have any questions about this new program.

Thank you,

Megan Knight, Principal and Calli Dean, Assistant Principal

Did you know Maple has a Family Resource Center? Our Family Center is located in our school right by the front office.

My name is Mrs. Bradley and I'm the Family Center Coordinator. I am here to help students and families so that ALL students feel supported and able to participate in school everyday. Some of the resources we have available at the school are food, clothing and basic toiletries.

Right now I have an abundance of baby and toddler clothes size zero to 3T. Please stop by the front office and visit the Family Center if you would like to pick up some clothing. We also roll out our Community Cart every other Thursday after school. If you have any questions please feel free to visit the office or call the school at 541-744-6395.

We have changed our popcorn plan for the year to ensure all students are included. Popcorn will be popped every Full Friday. Each student will receive 1 bag of popcorn and there will be no cost for students.

We are excited to continue our Walking School Bus every Tuesday morning. A Walking School Bus is a program supported by Safe Routes to School (SRTS). Maple Staff, along with SRTS staff will provided a chaperoned walk to school. If you don't live directly on the route, feel free to drive your child to any of the stops before the pick-up time. Please wait with them to ensure they don't miss the pick-up.

Please note our route has changed from last year. If you have any questions, please call the office.

We have had instances of cars driving too fast in our parking lot. Please remember we have students crossing constantly before and after school. Please drive with caution to keep all our students and families safe.

If you are parking when picking up your child, please walk across the pick up line to pick up your child, so no students are crossing unsupervised.

To keep our flow of traffic moving smoothly, please stay in your vehicle in the drop-off/pick-up lane and pull all the way forward. If you would like to get out of your vehicle, please park in a parking spot. We encourage all staff to park in the back lot to make room for parents both before and after school.

Please remember if your student is going to be absent for the day to please call the office to report it before 9:00am. After 3 days, the district requires a doctor's note.

Please remember to send your student with their charged chromebook every day!
