Visitors in our School

At Mayland Heights School, we strive to provide a safe and caring learning environment for all our staff and students.  To maintain this level of safety, all parents must check in to the office if they arrive at the school to pick up their child.  We cannot have parents wander the hallways during the school day without proper identification.  Thank you for your understanding.

Students will have their photo taken by the Lifetouch group on Wednesday, Sept. 23, Don’t forget your smile!

 

School Bus Status

Parents/guardians can view the bus status online (lates, change in drivers, etc).  Download the app and stay connected. Visit CBE Transportation for forms and more information.

 

Traffic Concerns

A friendly reminder as we arrive and leave school each day: student safety is #1 priority.

Please help us keep our bus area safe and accessible by following these important guidelines:

• Travel in the same direction as the school buses.
• Do not park or stop in the designated bus zone.
• Please do not make U-turns in the middle of the road.
• Do not park in the staff parking lot – these are reserved for daycares

-Follow all traffic signs and directions from school staff.

We understand that drop-off and pick-up can be busy, and we truly appreciate your patience and cooperation. By following these guidelines, we can help keep traffic moving safely and ensure our students arrive and leave school safely each day.

Thank you for helping us make student safety our #1 priority!

  

Outdoor Learning Space

We are excited to introduce a brand-new outdoor learning space for our students! This area will provide opportunities to learn, explore, collaborate, and enjoy the outdoors in a whole new way.

Students will be able to take their learning outside, discover new experiences, and enjoy this exciting addition to our school community. We can’t wait to see all the learning, creativity, and fun that happens here!  Thank you to our dedicated School Council who helped make this dream a reality.  While there are several phases of the project still planned we are thankful for the great beginning and beautiful area to gather. We encourage all families to visit the area this fall when they can.
