We cannot run our Book Fairs without our amazing family volunteers! If you are interested in helping, we would be very grateful!! Plus each volunteer gets to choose a book, up to a $10 dollar value as a thank you. Sign up to help here: https://tinyurl.com/BFVolunteerSignUp
Attention, 4th Grade Families! Mark your calendars!
Maltby Intermediate 5th Grade Orientation is scheduled for August 22nd, and 6th Grade Orientation is scheduled for August 23rd. Both will run from 9am to 1pm in an Open House format, so you will not need to be here the whole time. School pictures will be taken that day for the yearbook as well as ID badges, so have your student picture day ready! This is also when your student will receive their teacher, schedule, and locker assignments, and be able to purchase Maltby gear as well as pre-order the 2023-2024 Maltby yearbook. We look forward to seeing you there!
