A Note from Mrs. Zellner and Mr. West
Dear Maple Dale families,
We are excited to have our students back in the classrooms, ready to embark on new learning adventures. The winter break provided a wonderful opportunity for rest and rejuvenation, and we are energized and ready to make the upcoming months both productive and enjoyable for our students.
As we dive into the second half of the school year, we look forward to continued collaboration between home and school. Your support is invaluable, and together, we can create a positive and enriching environment for our students to thrive.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Here's to a fantastic start to the 2024!
Fondly,
Mindy and Keena

All Pro Dad Breakfast
What is All Pro Dad? All Pro Dad is the fatherhood program of Family First, a national nonprofit
organization based in Tampa, Florida. It was founded by Mark Merrill and former Tampa Bay
Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy. The organization seeks to help every
father become more engaged in the lives of their children. The goal is to enjoy breakfast with the
dads and their children while encouraging conversations about important life topics. Please join
other dads and parents at our Maple Dale chapter for a fun time of relationship building. Three
chapter breakfast meetings remain this school year: 1/25, 3/7, and 5/9.
Maple Dale students are invited to the Maple Dale Elementary All Pro Dads
breakfast on Thursday January 25th from 8am – 9am. This free breakfast
(doughnuts, coffee, and juice this month) is sponsored by the Maple Dale PTO.
Please park at the District Office parking lot. A weather delay or cancellation for
the school cancels this breakfast.
RSVP required by 1/21 if attending to have the proper amount of food.

The January meeting theme is dependability.
Dependability
If you have dependability, the people in your life know they can count on you to do what you say
you’re going to do. By being dependable, you show others respect and make it easy for them to
trust you.
Canvas Informational Session
Join us for an insightful training session organized by the Maple Dale PTO on the Sycamore's new Learning Management System, Canvas, as presented by Chris Gutermuth. This session is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate Canvas effectively, ensuring you stay well-informed about your child's academic journey. Learn how to track progress, access assignments, and stay connected with teachers. Your active participation in this training will not only enhance your understanding of the educational tools at your disposal but also foster a collaborative partnership between home and school.
Nurse Adee Notes
Illness Reminders: We are in the cold and Flu season! We have seen an uptick in many illnesses throughout Sycamore and in our community. Please make sure you are following our illness guidelines before sending your child to school each morning!
If your child is ill, remember to call the school absence line
at 513 686-1726. It can be difficult to decide when and how long to keep an ill child home from school. The timing of the absences is often important in order to decrease the spread of disease to others.
If your child has a fever, is vomiting or has diarrhea they must stay home until they no longer have the symptom for 24 hours without the use of medication to control the symptoms.
Check our school illness guidelines at Illness Guidelines for School Attendance .The school district health handbook has more information and found on the district website at Sycamore Health Services School Handbook .
Lice 101 review: Lice cannot jump or fly and are transmitted by direct head to head contact with another person with lice or sharing items placed in the hair. Children should be instructed against sharing hats, clothing or hair items with others. Children should use their own pillows and sleeping bags when spending the night with a friend. Household pets do not transmit lice. Consult your school nurse and the Sycamore Student Health Handbook for more great information about lice. Here is a link from the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding best practices with lice management https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/conditions/from-insects-animals/Pages/Signs-of-Lice.aspx
I hope everyone has a safe and healthy holiday break.
