Help us celebrate Mrs. Lewis, our incredible 2nd grade team lead!
Mrs. Lewis consistently goes above and beyond for her team and her students. On virtual days, she checked in with her entire team, kept everyone informed about important report card deadlines and grading procedures, and was always willing to share resources and lend a helping hand.
Thank you, Mrs. Lewis, for all you do for your teammates and our students — we are so lucky to have you! 💚🦁
We are so proud to celebrate two of our very own who were recognized as district finalists! 🦁✨
🏆 Cierra Robinson – Teacher of the Year Finalist

Your hard work, dedication, and heart for our students truly shine every day. Thank you for the love, passion, and excellence you bring to Maple Elementary! 💚

Congratulations to Mrs. Turner!
Mrs. Turner has done an outstanding job teaching art this year. She engages students in a wide variety of creative projects that are proudly displayed throughout our school. From colorful student artwork to the stunning giant snowflakes in our hallways, her work has brought creativity and excitement to Maple Elementary.
Thank you, Mrs. Turner, for your passion and dedication to making Maple a better place for all! 💚🤍
Today it was announced that Phoenix House is currently in the lead with the most points!
That calls for a celebration! 🧡
Tomorrow, students may wear orange and will not be required to be in uniform.
Good Afternoon DCPS Families!
There is a slight chance of winter weather this evening, so just in case it impacts school tomorrow, students are being sent home today with their devices and/or paper learning packets.
If weather does cause a school closure, we will move to virtual instruction for the day. This is simply a precaution—we’re hoping Mother Nature cooperates and that we’ll see our students bright and early on Wednesday!
Thank you for helping us be prepared (and fingers crossed we won’t need it 🤞).

Hello DCPS families and staff—this is a quick update from Winter Weather Headquarters ❄️
After Monday and Tuesday’s snow days, we’ve officially used all the snow days in our calendar. That means Wednesday, January 28, 2026, will be a virtual learning day for students.
Students should either log in for virtual learning, or—if your family requested a paper packet—work on the packet that was sent home last Friday.
Schools shared virtual learning details last week, so families should already have schedules and login information. If you need a refresher, please check your school’s messages.
Just a reminder that Thursday and Friday are professional development and semester transition days, so students will not be in session. Staff will participate in virtual professional development and should check their email for details.
Thanks for your flexibility—stay warm, and we’ll see our students online tomorrow!
