2018-19 School Year Calendar
- See here for next year's calendar including start-of-school events. - Please note that Wheat Ridge elementary schools, including Maple Grove, and also like many other elementary schools in Jeffco, will have non-student contact days instead of early release days, to be called "Professional Learning Days." Students will not attend school on these days. - These days will support teachers in learning and planning for instruction, for which there is never enough time during the year. The days will be much more impactful than having early release days on Friday afternoons. - Note that beginning in 2019-20, the entire school district will be moving to four non-student contact days, instead of five early release days. Two of the four will be connected to three-day weekends. You can see the 2019-20 calendar here. 2018-19 Supply List - Here is a link to the supply list for the 2018-19 school year. - PTA has put together a supply kit option. Order by this Friday 6/15 - more info here. Incoming Kindergarten Families - The past few summers, incoming Kinder families have had one or two "play dates" at the school playground, so that students and families can begin to get to know each other ahead of the first day of school, and possibly connect for other play dates. - It requires one or more families to coordinate. Often families have shared responsibility for bringing drinks and other refreshments. If you are interested in attending or coordinating, please add your name and contact info to this list. Those who are offering to coordinate can work together to schedule the play date(s) and contact the other families using the list, after enough time has passed for families to add their names. (This may be the last communication from the school on this.) Office - The office will re-open on Thursday, July 19. - Chris Neville, incoming principal, can be reached at christopher.neville@jeffco.k12.co.us. His start date is July 12. - Mr. Neville will likely be reaching out to you later this summer to get things rolling and inform you of registration, etc. |

City of Golden Bike Cruise
TUESDAY, JUNE 26!!
Come support Maple Grove, the City of Golden and have a great time doing it!!
The Golden Cruise is held in the Farmer’s Market lot at the Golden Library. Rides are themed, and the riders often costumed with decorated bikes. On average, 150 - 200 riders, ranging in age from 5 to 70, participate. There is always a band playing great tunes and multiple prize drawings. At least two kinds of beer are sold (this year supplied by New Terrain), along with food and soft drinks from Bob’s Atomic Burgers. Because of the beer sales, the City of Golden must create a fenced perimeter that is manned with adult volunteers.
VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP
This is where our Maple Grove Volunteers step in. We need to provide 10-15 volunteers to help set up and tear down the event, check in riders and man the alcohol perimeter. In exchange, they split the beer sales with our volunteers! Last year’s volunteer groups received $600 each (after we added all the beer sales together at the end of the season), and the more beer we sell, the better the distribution! Link to the City's website and more information can be found here.
Theme is Red, White and Blue
Music by The Skeleton Dolls
Contact lindseyfleener@gmail.com with any questions or if you would like to volunteer! Volunteers must report to the City of Golden Library at 4:00pm
