One Book Blitz
On January 30th, we will be kicking off this year's One Book Blitz event! This is a community wide
literacy initiative which gives students throughout Blount county in kindergarten through 5th grade
the opportunity to read and become totally absorbed in the same great book. Teachers will decorate
the school over the weekend prior to the kick off and we will announce the book title on Monday, January 30th!
Anyone interested can order a shirt to go along with One Book Blitz. Please note that the shirt design will appear blank when ordering so as not to give away the book title early! You may order using the link below through Thursday, January 12th.
Inclement Weather
We are reaching the point in the year where we may see snow and
ice. If we have a weather event, please monitor the radio, television,
social media, or MCS district website to look for delays or
cancellations. Check for Maryville City Schools (not Blount County
or Maryville Christian). The district's automated messaging system
will also send out phone calls and e-mails if there is any change to
the schedule. If you have had any changes to your home number,
address, e-mail, or emergency contacts, please let the front office
know ASAP. Thank you!
FREE READING RESOURCES
The Tennessee Department of Education is partnering with schools to provide free reading resources to kindergarten - 2nd grade families. To order a kit, click on the link below.
