Attention: Wheels on Walking Wednesdays Notice
Warning to those with wheels for Walking Wednesdays
Wheeled riders interested in joining Walking Wednesday have been an issue of concern for our walking chaperones. Bikes and scooters move faster that walkers, and need to follow local laws, and practical safety rules.
These include:
- Helmets at all times
- Bikes/scooters ONLY on the roadways and
- Staying safe while riding OFF the sidewalks on your way to school.

CyberSecurity Warning from MRUSD
We want to make sure youβre getting emails from Maple Run.
The Vermont Agency of Education recently alerted school districts about cybersecurity incidents in Vermont. With increased phishing activity, we are also seeing some legitimate emails from Maple Run end up in spam or junk folders.
- Please check your spam or junk folder for Maple Run emails.
- If you find a legitimate Maple Run message there, mark it βNot spam.β This helps future emails from us reach your inbox.
- Be careful with unexpected emails, links, and attachments, even if they appear to come from someone you know. If something looks suspicious, donβt click on it or share personal, financial, or account information.
- If youβre waiting for an important email from your school, teacher, or the District and donβt see it, please check your spam or junk folder.

National Library Service: A free audiobook resource for eligible students
Did you know the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled offers free audiobooks and braille books to students whose disabilities make reading print difficult?
Students can access books through the BARD app on a personal device or receive materials by mail, at no cost. There are no lending fees or charges for shipping.
This can be a great resource for students who benefit from listening to books at home or want to enjoy more books independently.
Learn more about the National Library Service and eligibility: https://www.loc.gov/nls/
Video: Parent Drivers PLEASE Watch! βββ
We continue to have slowdowns during drop-off and pick-up times. If you or a teacher need to talk, always park in the lot and come up to the school. Please make sure you review the video if you ever do car drop/pickup. Thank you for keeping SACS safe!
