Tomorrow, Monday, marks the first day back to school for all our students after a 9-day break! We know that after a week-long vacation, non-student days, mornings can feel hectic, and getting everyone out the door on time can be a challenge. At Maple Run, we want you to know: you are not alone. We understand, and we’re here to support you and your family.
Why Attendance Matters
Being at school every day is more than just showing up: it’s about learning, connecting with teachers and peers, and being inspired to reach your full potential. Every day students are present, engaged, and involved in school activities, they are building skills, making friendships, and creating meaningful experiences that last a lifetime.
Tips for a Smooth Morning
We know some mornings are tricky. To help make them easier:
Prepare backpacks, lunches, and clothing the night before.
Set alarms and routines for both kids and adults.
Build in a little extra time for unexpected delays.
Talk with your child about the day ahead to create a sense of excitement and purpose.
Please remember, we’re always here to help. If you need resources, guidance, or just someone to talk to about making mornings smoother, please reach out. Your school team is ready to support you in any way we can.
