Good morning!
Power is restored at Maple. Buses are returning to MES to drop students off at the school. Thank you for your patience.

Good morning Maple Families

Due to the power outage and uncertainty of a timeline for power to be restored, Maple Elementary will close today. Students that ride the bus will be returning home beginning at 8:40a.m.

Thank you!

During our Flag Football game, it was announced that the Dragon House is still in the lead with the most House points! Students are encouraged to wear green tomorrow to celebrate them! If participating, students do not need to wear uniforms.

Congratulations to the Students of the Month for October! 💚🦁#withJoy

🌟 We know last week was School Psychologist Week… but it’s never too late to celebrate! 🌟 We want to take a moment to recognize and thank our incredible school psychologist, Mrs. Scarpati, for the amazing work she does every single day to support our students, staff, and families. From helping students navigate challenges to creating a safe, supportive school environment — your impact reaches every corner of our school community. We appreciate your dedication, compassion, and the many ways you make a difference each day. 💚 #withJoy

🔎 Mystery Unlocked in 4th Grade! 🕵️‍♀️

Mrs. Vagnoni’s classes kicked off their next unit in the most exciting way — with Breakout Boxes! Students worked together to solve clues, crack codes, and unlock boxes to reveal their new unit of study: Mystery!

It was an engaging, hands-on way to get everyone thinking critically, collaborating, and getting excited for all the learning ahead.
