December 2023 News
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
December is a joyous month in an elementary school. The colder temperatures bring the excitement and anticipation of the holiday season for both students and staff alike! As I visit classrooms and travel throughout the building, I see students that are respectful, responsible, and ready to learn each and every day, truly exemplifying our Mayo Mallard behavior expectations.
As we turn the page on 2023, I cherish the gift of working with your students and the entire Mayo Elementary community. I look forward to all we will accomplish in 2024!
Season's Greetings,
Mrs. Fox, Principal

Toys, Electronics & Trading Cards in School
With the holidays just around the corner children will be receiving new and exciting toys that they will want to show their friends. Please note the following policies from the Mayo Parent Handbook: "Students should not bring toys, electronics, or unusual items to school unless coordinated with a teacher for a specific purpose. Trading cards are also prohibited and will be held by the teacher until the parent/guardian picks them up. Cell phones and Smart Watches that function as a cell phone/camera are not necessary in a student's instructional day and should be kept turned off and in the student’s locker during the school day."
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
