NMS Students and Families,

To be quite honest, I think we somewhat avoided writing this last Tiger Tales.  It meant this was really the way we were going to have to finish our year(s) together.  However, we are confident that when the time allows we will be able to come together, celebrate, and highlight the many achievements you all have achieved this year, and for that we are most grateful. We are also EXTREMELY proud of how hard our students are working, and how hard our staff are working.  NMS PROUD!  Please keep up the good work and finish strong.

~ Ms. Kreig, NMS Principal

End of Year Videos for ALL Students from Teachers and Staff:

Teachers and staff are busy right now creating their End of the Year Videos for their classes.  They will be sending those copies home to each one of their students via email.  Enjoy.  A lot of heart and soul went into creating them.

Dear School District of Maple Families,

As of Wednesday March 18th through April 5th the school district is closed due to the Governor’s order.  As of now the School District of Maple will reopen Monday April 6th. 

Due to at least 10% of our families (less at the high school) not having internet access, at this time we will not continue education virtually unless you are already a Virtual Maple student.  As to how we will make up the days or the number of minutes or if some will be forgiven by the state, no information has been given at this time. As I learn more it will be shared promptly. 

Tigers’ Den Daycare is open Monday March 16th and 17th but is ordered to be closed March 18th and will reopen Monday April 6th.

We will confirm with the state if we are allowed to implement our plan to feed students. As of now our plan is for breakfast and lunch to be served from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 to 12:30 p.m. for all students at Iron River Elementary and Northwestern High School starting March 23rd when we would have been open. Details of the way to order will be shared next week through Skylert, our website and social media if permission is given.

As updates occur we will continue to communicate. 

Hope you do have precious time with your family.

Warm regards,

Dr. Sara Croney, Superintendent 
School District of Maple
