10/26 Daily Announcements

Red Ribbon Week raises awareness about the importance of making healthy, safe, and drug-free choices.

Students will participate in fun theme days, learn facts about substance prevention, and explore positive ways to care for their minds and bodies.

Our goal is to encourage students to make healthy choices and build habits that support their well-being!

Picture retakes will be held on October 30th first thing in the morning.

If your child will be having their picture retaken, please note the following:

• Poor expression: There is no charge for a retake due to a poor expression.
• Clothing or haircut: If the retake is requested because your child was unhappy with their clothing or needed a haircut, the cost is 50% of the original package price.

Please remember: The original picture package must be returned for all retakes.

If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Dow at 802-752-2600 or mdow@maplerun.org.

Thank you!

We want to make sure you’re 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 “Not spam.” This helps future emails from us reach your inbox.

Please also be careful with unexpected emails, links, and attachments, even if they appear to come from someone you know. If something looks suspicious, don’t click on it or share personal, financial, or account information.

If you’re waiting for an important email from your school, teacher, or the District and don’t see it, please check your spam or junk folder.

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/

Students arriving after 8:25 AM are considered tardy. Frequent absences or tardiness may require students to make up time.

This school year, SATEC will use BrightArrow Attendance Calls to notify families if a student is marked absent and we haven’t heard from you.
