Maltby Intermediate School

What a fun Homecoming week! Our Spirit week came to a close with a TON of Orange and Black around Maltby. It was great to see all the excitement and silliness that goes with a Spirit week!

We wrapped up 5th grade Camp this week. We are huge fans of 5th grade Camp. It is one of the landmark events as a student at BAS. Thank you parents for chaperoning at 5th Grade Camp!

It is Parent-Teacher Conference season. Please check your email for information regarding Parent-Teacher conferences.

Go Bulldogs!! Beat Howell!

In accordance with the Brighton Area Schools Cell Phone policy, our students at MIS are permitted to bring their cell phones to school. We recognize the necessity and importance of family communication, but unfortunately ringing cell phones and the temptations of new games, cameras, and the technology that accompanies cell phones can present a distraction for your student and/or others in their classes.

Therefore, at MIS our students:

• Turn off cell phones at the beginning of the day and place them in their backpack.
• Students may NOT use cell phones from 8:50am-3:38pm.
• Utilize the main office phone to contact parents in the event of an emergency. Students may not contact a parent during that time from their cell phone. They MUST visit the office to contact parents.
• Smart watches must not be connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data during the school day.

We have had great success in keeping Maltby a distraction-free learning environment by following these procedures. In addition, we ask that parents please refrain from calling or texting their student during the school day.

Any messages of an emergency nature can be relayed to students through the front office at 810 299-3600. Please call before 3:05pm to ensure your child receives the message!

Thank you!

Title: Holiday POPs with the Phil Concert & Toys for Tots Drive

The Brighton Area Schools is part of a consortium to serve students in temporary living situations that

provides financial support for educational needs, referral for housing, clothing and other needs, general

support and technical assistance. To ensure compliance with federal law, all school staff must help

identify student living in the following situations: emergency shelters/transitional housing,

motels/hotels, car, parks or public spaces, shared housing due to a loss of housing or economic

hardship, or living temporarily with non-parent or guardian.

The district’s homeless liaison is Starr Acromite and each building has trained staff members to assist in

the endeavor. Our consortium contact at the Livingston Educational Service Agency is Candice

Uyttendaele.

Please contact your building principal or Starr Acromite at 810-299-4040 for information/assistance.

All school communication will come from the "maltoff@brightonk12.com" email address, so be sure to save it to your favorites!

Please note: that email address is unmonitored, so if you need to communicate something to the school, please call the office at 810-299-3600 or email a staff member. Thank you!
