A Note from Mrs. Zellner and Mr. West
Our first full week of school was a fun week, but some of your children (and your children's teachers) may need some extra sleep this weekend! :)
We are introducing a new section in the newsletter called "Volunteer Corner" which are various volunteer opportunities available at Maple Dale. When a sign-up is full, we will remove it from the list for the following week. We are so thankful for our volunteers so thank you for your time and enthusiasm!
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Partnering for Success!
On Thursday evening, October 6th, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m., Maple Dale Elementary will hold an exciting event called Family Math Night! Students, parents, siblings and other relatives are invited to attend a fun-filled evening of mathematical pleasure.
The intent of Family Math Night is to engage in various centers using math standards to strengthen the mathematical application, problem solving and communication skills of students through the power of family interaction. We encourage you to continue to support your child’s mathematical growth through your participation in Family Math Night.
Light refreshments will be served as well as the opportunity to win interactive family math games! A special guest will be reading two engaging books during the evening that will be raffled off. We are looking forward to seeing your family at Family Math Night!
Within the next couple of weeks, be on the lookout for more correspondence about Math Night, Math Spirit Week, and the agenda for this awesome venture!
If you have any questions email Mrs. Cooks, cooksc@sycamoreschools.org.

Parent Access to Canvas LMS
Parent Access to Canvas LMS
At the start of next school year (2023-24), Sycamore Schools will be transitioning to a new Learning Management System called Canvas. Canvas is a widely used Learning Management System in K-12 schools and beyond. This year, staff members will begin transitioning to this new LMS. Parents will have access to a parent account in Canvas that can be linked to their student(s). To create an account, please follow the steps below:
Generate a pairing code from your student’s Sycamore Canvas course (instructions).
Visit the parent login page and create an account in the top right corner (this will require the pairing code from step 1.
Once submitted, the parent account will be connected to the student account for current and future courses.
Please note that this school year will be a transition year, meaning the use and adoption of Canvas will be varied from teacher to teacher with full implementation expected at the start of the 23-24 school year.
