The day will feature a performance by Imagination Theater, a panel discussion featuring men from the Providence Farm sober living community and a speech by Tony Hoffman, former BMX biking Olympian.

Great expectations at Maple
At Maple School, we are committed to providing our students with the skills they need to succeed not only in high school but also beyond. Developing strong executive functioning skills is crucial for their continued success.
We are providing students with helpful "reminders" to assist them in developing habits such as timeliness, preparing for class, being "TRRFCC" students (Trustworthy, Respectful, Responsible, Fair, Citizenship, and Caring), and following school expectations. Here is a copy of the classroom expectations we uphold across grade levels.
While we are striving to reinforce these practices during school hours, we understand that fostering these skills requires collaboration and communication between home and school. Thank you for your ongoing partnership, and we look forward to working together for the benefit of our students.

Appointment pick up reminders
Students are only to be picked up at our north Main Entrance and need to be signed out by a parent or guardian. Students are not allowed to ride their bikes home during school hours if they are leaving for an appointment during the school day, and we highly recommend picking up students no later than 3:15 p.m. due to the afternoon traffic pattern. Please plan accordingly.
Thank you for your cooperation!
