School is in full swing on the Avenue!
School is in full swing on the Avenue, and we could not be more thrilled about it!
What a great start to the 2022-2023 school year we are having! August has come and gone in a flash! Open House was a great success, and we hope that you enjoyed getting an even better look at the hard work our students and staff are doing each day. Our students have adjusted well to their new classrooms, procedures, and friends. We have so much to be proud of here at MAUE!
It's Not Too Late
It’s never too late to join the PTO. When you join the PTO, you are pouring directly into your child’s experience at MAUE. Our PTO funds many activities and materials for our school. Just to name a few, PTO provides art supplies for our art program, STEAM activities for Team Tuesday, and our new playground equipment that will be here very soon!
Have you purchased a back-to-school t-shirt? Purchase with a PTO membership or separately at www.mauepto.com. Online orders will be sent home with your child.
You can shop for other Jag merchandise at our online store as well!
Fast Forward To The Future
If you are able, please join us for the monthly PTO meeting at 7:30 in the cafeteria on Thursday, September 8th.
Look what's coming!
This time last year we were gearing up for our Fall Fundraiser to raise funds for the first phase of our reimagined playground. After months of planning and shipping delays, we are happy to report installation should begin in the next few weeks. Details are being finalized now to install the new more play-inclusive area on the Third Grade side. Our Merry-Go-All is zero entry, fully accessible, forward-facing inclusive merry-go-round for everyone to enjoy while the new VistaStar™ climber is multi-sided climber that encourages exploration at all heights. We will also see new surfacing, new swings, and new ramps to help with accessibility to all play areas! We are so excited about the new area and can’t wait to break ground!
Stay tuned for more details on phase two! Fifth grade side, we are coming for you!
