Fall in First Grade
First graders harvested vegetables from the school garden to make stone soup after reading several versions of the story and learning more about what it means to be a community. Students also made applesauce using a cooking tool from the past integrating farm to school and our social studies unit Past and Present. Students also measured and weighed carrots and beets harvested from the garden.
School Pictures
School pictures are being distributed to classrooms to be sent home this week. Whipple’s Studios will be offering picture retakes on the morning of November 16th.

Test to Stay Information
The Test-to-Stay program is for unvaccinated students that are required to quarantine due to school exposure ONLY. If you have not received communication from your child’s school to quarantine due to school exposure, your child is not eligible for this program. If your child has COVID symptoms they should not participate in this program, because they should not attend school with symptoms.
The 7 day Test to Stay Program replaces the need for a PCR test on day 7. If you choose to not participate in Test to Stay then students will need a PCR test on day 7 to exit their quarantine and return to school.
There are 2 steps to signing up for this testing, consent to the testing and the reporting system. You must complete BOTH registrations in order to participate. Please visit the following links to register: Consent Form & Reporting System.
The Test-to-Stay program is being conducted behind the Maple Run District Office building on Market Street from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. on school days.
Students participating in the program must test daily for 7 days in order to attend school.
