Back to School Information
August 5, 2022
Dear Maple Families,
Welcome to the start of the 2022-2023 school year!
We are excited to WIN THE DAY with your WARRIORS this school year! We will face the year with grit and grace as we embrace a growth mindset and make daily commitments to reach academic and social-emotional goals. Back-to-School night is Thursday, August 18, from 4:30-6:30. The first day of school is Tuesday, August 23rd.
Now is the time to complete returning student registration. This information must be updated annually. Bus routes are based on completed registrations. If your child is not registered, they may not be assigned to a bus route. Complete your student registration today! Click here to get started. If you need assistance call Maple Elementary at 816-532-0589 or stop by Maple Elementary on Wednesday, August 10, or Friday, August 12, between 8 AM and 4 PM for assistance. We will have laptops set up for your use.
Students have been placed in their classes for the 22-23 school year. You can view your child's teacher on PowerSchool. If you need assistance or have a question, call Maple Elementary at 816-532-0589.
If you need to access grade level supply lists, you can find them on our website here.
We look forward to seeing your child soon!

Chromebook Insurance
Insurance
Insurance is offered to families as student registration is completed. It is $15 per student to register. This fee is waived for students who qualify for the free or reduced meal plan. If a device is broken, there is only a $25 deductible. If insurance has been purchased, you will be charged no more than $25 to fix the device unless the damage was intentional. Families with students in third through sixth grades can sign up for technology insurance through the district website here.
Students that do not have insurance
If a student does not have insurance they will have to leave their device in the cart and not bring their device home. If they break their device they will pay the full cost of repair.
