FIRST WEEK:  Thanks for a great first week of school.  It was such a pleasure to have students back in the building.  They really are the life of our school!  Parents, thank you for understanding the hiccups that attend the opening of a new school.  You have been amazing. 

 

PARENT DROP-OFF AND PICKUP:  Most students at Maple Grove Middle School will ride the bus to and from school.  For those parents that will drop-off and/or pick-up their students, please adhere to the following procedures to keep our students safe and traffic flowing smoothly for everyone.  The best advice we have is to take a deep breath, be patient, and let the system work.  We will get everybody unloaded/loaded and keep students safe with your help! 

 

Note that there are three lanes directly in front of the school that are ONE-WAY.  The left and right lanes are for drop-off and pick-up.  Drivers in the left and right lane should pull as far forward as they can, unload or load their car, then move to the center lane to exit the drop-off/pick-up area.  The center lane is for traveling.  There is a crossing guard who will periodically stop cars to allow students to cross either direction.   Please pick your child up in the pickup-dropoff lanes and not on the adjoining roads or parking lots. This will assure all our students are safe. 

LOCKERS: We are working diligently to resolve the issues with the lockers.  We will notify you as soon as we are ready to start assigning lockers to students.  Thanks for your patience. 

SCHOOL LUNCH: Please be aware that both school breakfast and lunch are free to all students regardless of income status this year thanks to an ongoing grant. Students eating school lunch may eat in the cafeteria or outside; students bringing a home lunch may eat in the cafeteria, outside or if they choose in the main hall corridors.   

DRIVE THROUGH VACCINE CLINICS AVAILABLE:  The Utah County Board of Health has asked that we make our MGMS community aware of the following drive through COVID-19 vaccine clinics that are available locally.
