Principal's Updates
Dear Maple West Community,
It's hard to believe that Parent Teacher Conferences are right around the corner. These conferences give parents and teachers an opportunity to discuss the academic and social - emotional growth of our Tigers since the beginning of the school year.
The times and date are as follows:
Thursday, December 5, 2024 (Virtual ONLY), Evening Conferences
Friday, December 6, 2024 (EARLY DISMISSAL @ 11am), Afternoon Conference
Monday, December 9, 2024 (EARLY DISMISSAL @ 11am), Afternoon and Evening Conferences
As we approach the Thanksgiving Recess, we want to express how grateful we are to have such a dedicated and caring faculty and staff, as well as Maple West Community. We are grateful for our families and students who come to school each day excited to learn and grow. Please enjoy time with your family and friends over the Thanksgiving Recess.
