Maltby Intermediate School

Another busy and productive week at Maltby!

Dr. Outlaw announced the May 2026 Bond this week. Please use this link to see all the details and the potential impact to all of our buildings in Brighton, https://www.brightonk12.com/district/bond-information .

The potential improvements at Maltby are:

Security lockout system * Add outdoor classroom * Band room equipment storage * Playground equipment * Roof replacement Projects for Maltby Intermediate * Elevator replacement * Select flooring replacement * Replace classroom furniture * Add cooling to gym * Sitework: Drive loop and parking lot repaving

A couple reminders about our parking lot and pick up/drop off...

-- Please give the buses the right of way at all times. Please don't cut in front of them as they leave our lot. It makes everything behind you slower.

-- If the pick up/drop off line is full and you are on Bauer Road, please go right into the lot. DO NOT stop in the driveway and wait for the lane to start moving. It jams up Bauer Road and makes the whole process slower for all the buses and parents.

-- Please remember there is no left turn out of our lot during arrival and dismissal times.

Spring is on its way, Maltby Families!!

Struggling with technology and your student? Worried about Social Media and its impact on our kids?

A wonderful opportunity is coming for all our families in March. LESA is bringing in experts in their field to give parents help in navigating raising kids with Technology and Social Media.

We’re excited to share a big update about our PTO’s major fundraiser for the year!

This year, we will be transitioning from our traditional Silent Auction to a Read-A-Thon hosted on an easy-to-use online platform. While we’ve loved the community support behind our auction, we’re thrilled to introduce a fundraiser that directly supports student learning while keeping things simple and accessible for everyone.

Our Read-A-Thon will encourage students to strengthen their reading skills (hello AR points!) while raising funds for our school. Families and friends will be able to support students securely online, making participation easier than ever!

More details, including how to register and set up your student’s reading page, will be coming soon. Thank you for your continued support of our students and school community!

Activity Afternoon is next Friday, February 27th. Please sign up if you're able to help!

Our next meeting is Tuesday, March 10th.
