Maize Middle School
January 31, 2023
Happy New Year! Parent/Teacher conferences are on February 9th from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. Teachers will be in their classrooms. Please stop by anytime during the day or email your child’s teachers to set up a specific meeting time. There is no school on February 9th or 10th.
In the January 17th Maize Pulse, Dr. Greer discussed the importance of school attendance and student success. Here is an article from the Kansas Parent Resource Information Center about the importance of attendance at the middle and high school levels. Remember to notify the Maize Middle School office if your child will be absent. If a student is not feeling well at school, the student should go to the nurse. If a student needs to leave school due to illness, the nurse will call home and ask that the student be picked up. Students are not allowed to call/text/email from a personal device within the school for pick-up. If a student leaves school for any reason, the communication must come from the office, nurse, or school administrator.

We love Positive Office Referrals! At Maize Middle School, staff can refer students for a Positive Office Referral. Teachers fill out a form and send it to the admin team. We call a student down, let them read the note from the teacher, and then call parents so we can brag on their child. This is one of the best parts of the job!

Hello Maize Families-
First- a BIG THANK YOU to those of you who reached out and helped us with some supplies that we were needing!! Some of you dropped them off anonymously and we just want you to know we truly appreciate your help! We have put most all items to good use already!!
Second- When picking up your student due to illness- please contact the Health Office. It is very helpful to us if students come to see us before texting or emailing parents to pick them up. We are happy to assess them and facilitate a phone call home if needed (from our office not student's cell phone). There may be something we can do to help them stay in school! We would appreciate any help that you can give us with this. We will never hesitate to call a parent if we feel the student needs to go home. Along those same lines... remember a student should not return to school when ill unless they have been fever free without fever reducing medication for 24 hours- and their symptoms should be much improved!
As always- feel free to call me anytime with health updates on your student or any questions you may have!
