Message from Interim Principal, Mrs. Saul
Dear Maple Community,
It is an absolute honor and joy to serve as the Interim Principal of Maple Elementary! As a proud Fullerton native and longtime FSD educator, this community holds a very special place in my heart. I attended FSD Schools, and I feel incredibly fortunate to now lead and serve in the community that helped shape me.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of serving as a teacher, site administrator, and most recently, Program Specialist for Community Schools. Each of these experiences has strengthened my belief that the very best schools are built through strong relationships, collaboration, kindness, joy, and a true sense of belonging.
At Maple, I want every student to feel known, valued, safe, challenged, and excited to learn. I want our staff to feel empowered to lead and innovate, and I want every family to know that your voice matters and you are an important partner in your childās education. Please feel free to email me at Jenny_saul@myfsd.org. Together, we will continue building #theMapleExperience through curiosity-driven learning, meaningful experiences, student leadership, and strong school-family-community partnerships.
I believe there is greatness within every child. Our job is to create the opportunities, relationships, and encouragement that help them discover it. I am so excited for all that we will accomplish together. Thank you for welcoming me into the Mustang family. I look forward to learning, growing, celebrating, and leading alongside each of you.
With joy and gratitude,
Jenny Saul

Kindness Always Wins
District Policy Reminders
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.
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 in their backpack or with their teacher. 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.
