We continue to operate the "Kid's Closet" at Maize Middle School. Gail Thompson & Kathy Hoheisel have been doing this the past several years. This school year, the SADD organization at MMS is going to assist with collecting, washing and organizing donations. We are in need of donations at this time. Donations may be brought to MMS and dropped off in the front office. If someone has donations and can't get to MMS, call Gail Thompson (ext.2310) or Kathy Hoheisel (ext. 2312) and one of them will come and do a pick up. | |
The "Kids Closet" needs Little Stuff. We are looking for three coats: 2 boys, sizes 7 and 10; 1 girl, size 6-7. Also could use some little size jeans.

Good afternoon,
I hope you enjoyed your spring break and are ready for the sprint to the end of the school year. This time of year always seems to fly.
We will start our state testing next week with 7th grade Science Assessments on April 2 and 3. The Reading State Assessment is scheduled for April 9-17 and Math State Assessments are scheduled for April 18-26. During the Reading and Math State Assessments we will be using Block scheduling, alternating A and B days. A days will be 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th hours and B days will be 2nd, 4th, 6th, and Encor.
Parents play an important role in helping their child do well during State Testing. Please encourage your child to get a good nights sleep so they are ready for testing each day. A healthy breakfast is always a great way to start your day and fuel the brain. Encourage your child to take their time and do their best. Please try to avoid scheduling appointments during Assessments so your child does not have make up testing.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me.
Have a great day!
Brian

ONLINE BULLETIN BOARD
Your Resource for Clinic and Camp Information |

Maize USD 266 is working to utilize technology and online resources in communicating with parents, staff and the community. As part of this effort, Maize USD 266 is introducing an Online Bulletin Board to tell parents about opportunities offered by school sponsored or student curricular groups, events linked to individual schools or activities sponsored by groups partnering with the Maize schools.
The Online Bulletin Board is through the district Web site, www.usd266.com. Beginning in January 2013, the Online Bulletin Board will replace all paper flier distribution from outside groups.
Families can access the Online Bulletin Board from the Parents or Community tab on the district home page. Additionally, it will be available under Quick Links or you can go directly to the page at www.usd266.com/bulletinboard.
As an added convenience, people can receive email updates each time new information is posted. Visit www.usd266.com/bulletinboard and click "Subscribe" to sign up. Subscribers will receive emails each time new fliers are posted.

New med forms must be signed every year. You can find Request For Administration of Medication forms here. Please take med forms to the doctor over the summer & get them signed for next year. A doctor's signature is only required for PRESCRIPTION Medication. For over the counter medicines such as Ibuprofen & Tylenol, a parent's signature is all that is required.
