ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Was your child in school today?
It is important for your child to attend school every day. When a student misses a significant amount of school, even if the absences are excused, he or she misses critical instructional time and learning opportunities. This often has long- term, negative effects on a child, such as lower achievement and a greater chance of not graduating on time.
Attendance is now part of the state accreditation status. In order to remain fully accredited, students must come to school every day.
If you see students that you know attend Maury and should be in school, but are not, please contact our Graduation Coach, Wes Price at 757-275-4514.

Four Maury High School students represented our school in the Rotary Club job shadowing program. Celine Maharaj, Devin Calpo, Kayla Delpino, and Erica Kukanich wrote about the experience and submitted them to the club to be judged in their annual essay contest. On Tuesday, March 12, these four students attended the Rotary luncheon at the Norfolk Yacht Club, and Devin and Kayla were asked to read their essays aloud. They, along with two students from Granby, were honored as winners in the competition.

MAURY SHARING TABLE
The CDP department at MHS has established a food sharing table during all lunches. The Sharing Table is a place where students can place unopened food and drinks that they choose not to eat or drink. This provides an opportunity for other students to take additional helpings of food or beverages from the Sharing Table at no cost to them and reduce cafeteria waste.
How Does the Sharing Table Work?
The Sharing Table is a place where students can place unopened food and drinks that they choose not to eat or drink. This provides an opportunity for other students to take additional helpings of food or beverages from the Sharing Table at no cost to them. Students must drop off unwanted food and drink on the Sharing Table immediately after leaving the serving line. If a student is still hungry after finishing his or her meal, he or she may pick-up items from the Sharing Table.
What Can Be Placed on the Sharing Table?
Pre-packaged food, unopened wrapped food and beverages, or food items with a peel.
Examples include:
· Unopened milk, cheese sticks, yogurt, and cut fruits and vegetables.
· Unopened crackers, cereal bars, and chips.
· Wrapped fresh fruits and vegetables.
· Unwrapped whole fruits with an inedible peel, such as oranges or bananas.
· No items from home can be placed on the Sharing Table.
Please share this with your students and encourage them to participate. Thank you!
