Dear Maple Families,

Welcome to the start of the 2024-2025 school year!

We are excited to begin an amazing year of growth with your Maple WARRIORS! Back-to-School night is Thursday, August 15, from 4:30-6:30. We will have a special early opening at 4:00 for families of Quest and Essential Skills students who may need to make their way to multiple buildings. More information will be sent to those families soon. The first day of school is Tuesday, August 20th.

Now is the time to complete returning student registration. This information must be updated annually. Bus routes are based on completed registrations. If your child is not registered, they may not be assigned to a bus route. Complete your student registration today! Click here to get started. If you need assistance call Maple Elementary at 816-532-0589 or stop by Maple Elementary on Thursday, August 8th, or Monday, August 12th, between 9 AM and 3 PM for assistance.

Students have been placed in their classes for the 24-25 school year. You can view your child's teacher on PowerSchool. If you need assistance or have a question, call Maple Elementary at 816-532-0589.

If you need to access grade level supply lists, you can find them on our website here.

We look forward to seeing your child soon!

The 2024-2025 Student Handbook and Technology Agreement form have been uploaded in PowerSchool and can be found under forms and enrollment . Please take a moment to review and acknowledge the 2024-2025 Student Handbook and Technology Agreement form with your child(ren).

3rd-6th grade students will be in a take-home 1:1 program which means they will each be assigned a specific Chromebook. Devices will be handed out at back-to-school night. Students will only be permitted to take their device home if they have purchased insurance.

Insurance

Insurance is offered to families as a part of student enrollment and fees. It is $15 per student to register. This fee is waived for students who qualify for the free or reduced meal plan. If a device is broken, there is only a $25 deductible. If insurance has been purchased, you will be charged no more than $25 to fix the device unless the damage was intentional. Chromebook insurance sign up is now a part of your enrollment and fees when you register your student in PowerSchool. Insurance from the 23-24 school year expires on September 20th, 2024.
