MGES Student Council is rolling out our first school-wide initiative - SOCKTOBER!!
So, we are challenging the students and staff at Maple Grove to help support this mission by bringing in new socks of any size, color or pattern, from October 19-30. All socks will be donated to the Wheeler Mission Homeless Shelter.
IMPORTANT PARENT INFORMATION!!
Each year, CG schools requests a Skyward information update from parents/guardians for each student. Those forms are now available in Skyward and need to be completed as soon as possible. Please log in to Skyward Family Access to complete these forms.
If you have more than one student, you will need to choose which student you are updating by clicking on the drop-down menu in the upper left corner (of a computer screen...mobile access may look different). Please note: It is always more user friendly to use a computer or laptop when viewing Skyward. Mobile access is available but the view is much different and not as user friendly.
Textbook/Supply fees
You can now pay your child(ren)s textbook/supply fees online via Skyward. Fees are charged per semester this year. To get to this section of Family Access, please log in to Skyward, select the student you wish to pay fees for (if you have more than one child).
There are a few places to find this payment option.
1. Click on INFORMATION UPDATE and you will find the Make a Fee Payment option on the right hand side of the screen. You may do this as part of your information update.
2. There is also a FEE MANAGEMENT button on the left hand side of the screen. You may click here and make a payment.
3. You may send EXACT CASH or a CHECK with the EXACT AMOUNT in with your student to be turned into the teacher.
4. You may make a CREDIT CARD payment by coming into school and seeing Jessica
George, secretary/treasurer. We accept most major credit cards.
Note: You cannot make full payments for fees at this time. Fees are split by semester and will be charged twice to each student. Please pay Semester 1 fees by November 1, 2020. Semester 2 fees should be charged some time in January 2021.
School RETAKES available by visiting Jostenspix.com!
