Dear Maple Mustang Families,

I am beyond excited and deeply grateful to officially serve as Maple Elementary's new permanent principal! It is truly an honor to lead this incredible school community. Thank you for the warm welcome, kindness, and support you have already shown me. I am proud to be a Mustang and look forward to all we will accomplish together!

We have another exciting week ahead at Maple!

Our character trait this month is RESPECT! We are on the lookout for Mustangs who demonstrate respect through their words, actions, and kindness toward others. Let's celebrate those who help make Maple a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and welcome!

On Friday, we will celebrate Día de los Muertos, honoring loved ones and embracing the beautiful cultures and traditions that make our Maple community so special.

And don't forget to VOTE to name our Maple Mustang! Voting closes this Thursday, so be sure to make your voice heard as we choose a name for our beloved mascot!

Thank you for trusting me to lead our amazing school. I am excited for the journey ahead as we continue building a joyful, connected, and Mustang Strong community!

With gratitude and Mustang Pride,
Mrs. Jenny Saul
Proud Principal, Maple Elementary School

Anti Bullying Pledge/ Spanish/ Policy:

We have ensures that our students know we do not allow bullying in FSD and at Maple. Encourage your student to be an Upstander, to actively stand up against bullies by sharing with an adult to help.Please make sure that you and your student have signed out Anti-bullying Pledge and return to your child's teacher.

Physical Contact/Conduct Policy:

At Maple, my first priority is to ensure that our Mustangs all feel Safe and Welcome at school. This safety comes with an understanding that we respect each others personal space at school. Please remind your students that Mrs. Saul does not tolerate Physical Contact/Aggression at school. I am actively logging incidents, writing referrals with consequences, and contacting families should incidents arise. With our Home - School partnership, we can make sure all students feel safe at school. I appreciate your support with this.

District Cell Phone Policy:

FSD as a whole district has adopted a 'No Cell Phone" Policy. Your students may bring devices to school, but remind them they need to turn them off and safely store with their teacher. All 4th - 6th grade students will be asked to place their phones in a pocket chart labeled by number. We can not guarantee the safety of a phone in a backpack. If a phone is found on a students person, it will be confiscated and parents will have to pick them up at the office. This is also for the safety of our students at school and online. Thank you for helping our Mustangs feel safe at school by reminding them of our No Cell Phone Policy.

Please give yourself grace and plenty of time for parking. For everyone's safety, we ask that you do not double park or block other cars. Also, remember to always use crosswalks! Also, we have had many cars blocking the bus zone to come into the office. Please do not block the inlet in the front of the school as we have numerous bus drop off & pick up throughout the day with our preschool and TK-6th grade programs.

If you bring your child lunch, we ask that it is delivered at least 5 mins before student lunch time and please make sure your child knows, as the office will not call classroom as it interrupts instruction.

Friendly reminder, early pick ups will not happen during the last 15 minutes of the day. Please plan accordingly. We appreciate your understanding.

Dia De Los Muertos Celebration is comming up on October 23rd. Celebrate with us!
