Last call to order yearbooks!

If you have overlooked the deadline but still want to order a yearbook, unfortunately you have missed the online order window, but Mrs. Sullivan will still accept order forms for a couple more weeks. If you do not have the order form simply put cash ($25) or a check made out to Fowler School in an envelope with Student's name and Homeroom Teacher's name on it.

Students took a practice MCAS this week to test our network, and to ensure their own Chromebooks are working properly. It's called the "Infrastructure Trial" Students took a practice MCAS this week to test our network, and to ensure their own Chromebooks are working properly. It's called the "Infrastructure Trial"

‘Kiss the Ground’

In support of Maynard Tree Corps, we are offering free admission to see ‘Kiss the Ground’ Saturday March 18, 2023 at 3:00pm at Maynard Fine Arts Theatre. Our goal is to raise awareness for kids that we old (er) folks are planting small trees now that will provide shade for our kids and maybe their kids, and raise money to get 6 more native trees planted in Maynard’s downtown. ‘Kiss the Ground’ is an uplifting, inspiring movie that explains carbon sequestration, mainly through commmercial agriculture, and how it can benefit ecological diversity and help cool the earth.

Wellness Policy Reminder

This is a friendly reminder that per the Maynard Wellness Policy, which receives its directives from state and national standards, no student should be coming to school with any outside beverages other than water. We have seen an uptick in Dunkin Donuts type beverages and as much as we love to see our students coming in extra caffeinated, we kindly ask that you leave these beverages to life outside of school. This also includes any energy drinks and even that new swanky Prime beverage.

Student Drop off and Pickup Zone

We are kindly asking that all student drop offs and pickups (before and after school) take place on the far side of the building by the sports fields. Please follow the road behind the school to arrive there.

When this protocol is not followed, it poses a serious safety risk to our students and our teachers.

A thousand thank yous in advance!

ALLERGEN WARNINGS IN THE CAFETERIA

If you live with food allergies, every meal can be a worry. Whitson's, our food service provider, is trying to reduce that worry with allergy-friendly food signage. In the cafeteria, look for signs like this. It clearly lists the allergens in the dish. The online menu, linked below, shows allergens, and is also interactive, allowing students to review the dishes and leave feedback. Whitson's hopes this information makes it easier to plan ahead for each week's meals, especially for those managing a food allergy.

GREEN MEADOW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECT

The Green Meadow Elementary School project team has submitted its second MSBA submission! This submission is called the Preferred Schematic Report (PSR) and it advances the initial existing conditions verification, educational visioning & programming and Owner / Community coordination into multiple design alternatives, shows MSBA the design alternative evaluation process taken by the project team, and highlights which design alternative was ultimately selected at the end of the process.


Below is a link to a Google Drive folder that contains the previous Preliminary Design Program (PDP) submission as well as the recent PSR submission. As always, we thank you very much for your attention to the project, and we’ll continue to keep you informed as the project moves along the MSBA process!
