March 2020

Thanks to our third graders and Thanksgiving Point, we have beautiful tulip blossoms in front of the school and more will be blooming soon. We love seeing the pop of color and sign of spring and renewal! 

Thank you so much to one of our fantastic families for the positive messages of gratitude and greetings written in chalk on the sidewalks for our staff and teachers to see as they came to school this week. What a welcome treat that brightened our day! We APPRECIATE the support from our Mapleton community and families! Sure miss your kids! 

Here is more information regarding the breakfast and lunch process. In order to provide students with “Grab and Go” meals, breakfast and lunch will be available for purchase at normal prices. Free/reduced meals are available for those who qualify. 

- If you have children at different schools (i.e. MJHS, MMHS and Mapleton), you can stop at one school to pick up breakfast or lunch rather than stop at each school.

Here is a follow-up letter from the district with clarifications and answers to frequently asked questions.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

This letter, dated March 15, is a follow up to the Nebo District letter dated March 13, and other letters that have been sent from your child’s school.  It is intended to provide clarification regarding some general questions that have been circulating.  Please help us to ensure that all parents, guardians, grandparents, or caregivers who provide student support are aware of this information.

If you are not receiving emails or texts from Mrs. Peery, please a) check in Aspire and make sure your contact information is accurate, b) make sure you have not marked "unsubscribe" in the Blackboard communication APP and if so, reset your password, c) make sure emails are not in your SPAM folder, and d) consider marking emails from Mrs. Peery with star or VIP status. We just don't want you to miss important information coming from the school.

A huge shout out to Melissa Naylor who was nominated by her peers as Mapleton Elementary's Teacher of the Year for 2020! We are lucky to have Ms. Naylor at Mapleton and are grateful for her caring and all she does to impact the lives of her students and more! 

These awesome students were chosen by their teachers as Students of the Month for January. Thanks for being very kind and great examples of Mapleton Mountaineers! 

Congratulations to our Arbor Day poster contest winners. They all did a great job and it was a phenomenal turnout of amazing art work. It was hard to choose a winner because they were all equally  great!!
