A message from Mr. Johnson, Security Manager:
I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome our new families to Park Maitland School! I also wanted to thank all of the returning families for working together last year to ensure the safety of our Park Maitland family. I hope everyone experienced a fun and productive summer.
As we start the new school year, I have a few reminders to share with you:
- Please refrain from using cell phones while in the car pool lines.
- Please have your child or children ready to exit your vehicle as you arrive at the station during drop off.
- Please have your name placard visible until your child is in your vehicle during dismissal.
- Please be patient and respectful to other drivers and our neighbors in the surrounding community.
- Please do not make the right turn from 17-92 onto Magnolia Ave. on a red light during arrival or dismissals. We need to work with our families coming from the north who are making the left turn from the center turn lane.
- Please do not park at Dominos. It is private property.
We conducted our first Fire and Lock-down Drills this week and the students were incredible! Remember we must all work together to ensure the safety of our students, parents, faculty and staff at Park Maitland. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at:
jjohnson@parkmaitland.org
or call (407) 647-3038 x248.
Thanks you in advance for your cooperation,
Jesse Johnson
Security Manager

We cannot wait to see all of you! This fun, informative event will start promptly at 4:30 p.m. in your child's homeroom classroom.

The teachers and administrators have great information to share with you about your child's "home away from home."

Students enrolled in Club Eagle After Care can follow their usual aftercare protocol and can be picked up after the Parent Night event. If your child is not enrolled in Club Eagle After Care, you can sign them up for childcare for this special event for $15.00 by contacting Club Eagle at

So long Ms. Noll!
After 20 extraordinary years as our 1st grade math teacher, Ms. Noll retires. True to Ms. Noll’s character of being dedicated and loving to everyone in her life- her family, her "1st grade team", her school, and the precious children that she has touched, she has with a very heavy heart decided that at this time she must help to care for her chronically ill mother. On that note, Ms. Noll will not be able to continue as the first-grade math teacher this year. We will all miss her but understand and support Ms. Noll during this challenging time in her life.

DOT DAY!
We are excited to announce that Park Maitland will be participating in DOT DAY again this year! Dot Day is based on the book
The Dot
by Peter H. Reynolds. It's a story about a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing".
Students, please help celebrate this day by wearing "dots" on Monday, September 16th.

Did you know that Box Tops have gone digital?
Eventually the Box Tops program will become digital-only. Participating brands are starting to change their packaging from a traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Top label.
If you see the above label, use the new Box Tops app to scan your receipt. Box Tops are still worth 10¢ each for your school. The app will find participating products purchased at any store and instantly add cash to your school's earnings online. Interested in learning more about the app,

PARENT CHAT
"Smart Social Media Usage"
with Lori Smith
Thursday, September 12th
8:15 a.m
*Room Location TBD*
Lori W. Smith of Zimmerman, Kiser, & Sutcliffe, P.A., will be here to discuss how youth can use social media in a smart way. She will highlight successes of young teens who have used social media in school, entertainment, and youth related businesses. Ms. Smith will also highlight common social media mistakes.
In today's world of fast-paced and varied technological communication, children and adults are often surprised at the ramifications of hitting that "send" or "post" button without careful consideration. As a result of Ms. Smith's previous presentations, many adolescents seem to be rethinking their social media and communication choices.
We ask that at least one parent of our 5th and 6th grade students attend this timely and relevant chat.
