Mapleton Elementary School parent-teacher conferences will be held on Monday, March 11, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and Tuesday, March 12, from 5 to 8 p.m. The school is offering online registration for the spring parent-teacher conferences to give parents the opportunity to schedule times that best fit their needs as well as the opportunity to choose teachers they would like to see.
Requests will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Parents are encouraged to log on and register as soon as possible as time slots fill up quickly. Completed registrations will result in email confirmations and reminders to parents prior to appointments. The online link is available in a letter from Principal Daniel Duprey, posted on the Mapleton Elementary School Facebook page.
Parents who do not have Internet access or who encounter difficulties registering may call the school at 764-1589.
Principal Duprey is excited about the online registration and hopes parents find it a convenient solution to better conference scheduling. The school welcomes questions and comments about the process.
First Friday Luncheon
March is the month that brings baseball’s spring training, the changeover to spring and the green celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. The monthly First Friday Luncheon will be held this Friday, March 1, at the Mapleton Methodist Church at 11:30 a.m.
Chefs have promised an exciting and tasty luncheon to help everyone enjoy windy March. Everyone will be thankful for a colorful and hot meal. Come and see what surprises the chefs are planning — will they be green or will they be wind-driven and luscious?
The real joy is sharing a meal with longtime friends as well as making new friends, sharing family updates, stories and memories. Remember, there is no charge for the lunch, but donations will be accepted.
