Principal Noe's Notes

"Blues on the Green" is an Austin tradition dating back many years.

Well, in true Maplewood fashion we are starting "Maplewood on the Verde."

Look what is happening this weekend !!! Here is your concert ticket.

• What a WONDERFUL Back 2 School Night for Maplewood !! It was so fun watching our students walk in the building excited to share their experiences with their caregivers & family.
• Great turnout for our first Principal's Coffee of the school year on Friday, September 2nd.
• Next Principal's Coffee is Friday, October 7th.

• Teacher Conferences are underway. Please get with your child's teacher and sign up for a time.
• Benchmark Testing Completed ( MAP Growth Reading & Math ) Your child's teacher can discuss your child's results with you during your parent/teacher conference.
• Marathon Kids is underway!
  

Reminder: School doors open at 7:15. At 7:30, students are dismissed to classrooms. At 7:40, our academic day begins. Please strongly consider arriving at school no later than 7:30 to give your child a few minutes to transition to their learning environment.

We love our VOLUNTEERS!! If you want to volunteer at Maplewood you must complete a background check through Austin Partners in Education prior to volunteering on campus. Here is the link!

Coordinated Approach To Child's Health kicks off this week. Coach Rodriguez will have a CATCH table setup during "Maplewood on the Verde" with information on healthy wellness and fitness.

Coordinated School Health (CSH) is a cooperative approach to improve the physical, mental, and emotional health for all students, staff, and members of the educational community. Essential district programs such as Health and Physical Education, Nutrition and Food Services, Health Services, Social and Emotional Learning and Cultural Proficiency and Inclusiveness, Staff Wellness, and Family and Community Engagement work together to provide services, promote skills, and establish healthy environments and behaviors designed to last a lifetime.
