Dear Parents,

 Short and sweet this week. We wanted to send the newsletter a bit early today so everyone will have the link for tonight's Talent Show! Park Maitland students really do have talent! I have previewed a few acts and have had my heart touched and howled with laughter. I hope as a family you are able to join us and share the fun together!
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!

Very Warmly,

Mrs. Spillmann

Upcoming CTP Testing
National Standardized Test

Grades 1 - 3: April 26-29
(Homeroom thru 2nd Period)

We work very hard to teach your child well. They do not need to focus on preparing for this test. No particular "prep" at home or school is necessary. We do, however, encourage your child to relax, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive to school on time during their CTP testing week.

Please enjoy this week's feature from our wonderful School Counselor, 
Ms. "J" Jaworski.
SUPERSTAR TEACHER OF THE WEEK
This is my 43rd year teaching; I answered an ad in the newspaper for a dance teacher position in 1975, and Mrs. Cohen hired me on the spot. She was an amazing woman!! I was the dance teacher for 5 years then taught creative writing, movement, reading skills, and now science and social studies. My memories of PMS are extraordinary! I even met Mr. Rogers and have a picture of myself with him! I taught Mandy Moore and have taught many parents and later their children at Park Maitland. I love teaching the children about our world and watching their excitement learning and becoming leaders. Both of my daughters Ramelle Riley and Natalia Dick are PMS graduates. I love spending time with them cooking and traveling!

Thank you to Aimee Nocero for creating this beautiful poster of Barbara Dick.
Safety Alert!
  • If parking in any of our campus locations, students must be dropped off with a parent supervision and have their temperature checked before walking into campus. No child should be left unattended to find a teacher or walk across carpool alone!

  • Please make sure while driving through carpool, no cell phone usage is allowed for the safety of our children.

  • Please make sure to not wait in line or park on Orange Place as this is a residential area. We want to respect our neighbors and have had several complaints regarding our parents. This is never acceptable to impede traffic on a public street, and we need it to stop. Please circle around the block if you are early. 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
