Thank you to all of the families who donated to our “Pi Day Buy a Day” Penny Wars Campaign! Once we know how much money we raised, I will update you with a total. Thanks again for your support of Grassroots!
Don’t feel like making dinner on Monday? You’re in luck - Monday is Chipotle night! Click here for more information!
Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®) Reports came home with your child yesterday. Please be sure to ask your child to see this if you have not already.
Attention Parents of Current 6th Grade and 7th Grade Students: On March 6, your child was given a list of his/her course recommendations for the 2018-2019 school year, made by your child's current subject area teachers. If you would like to request a course placement that is different from the school's recommendations, you have the option to complete the Course Placement Review form, due on March 23. Click here for more information and a link to forms you need.
Attention 6th Grade Parents: Starting Monday, March 19, we are testing a new dismissal procedure to alleviate the overcrowding at the lockers. When the bell rings, bus riders will follow their normal dismissal procedure, but 6th grade walkers will report to either Ms. McKenney's room (students with downstairs lockers), or Ms. DeVore's room (students with upstairs lockers). Once the locker area is clear, walkers will be dismissed to go to their lockers and out the door. We anticipate a 3 to 4 minute delay, but wanted you to be aware. If your child has an older sibling who would normally wait for him/her, your child will be permitted to go out with the bus riders.
Get excited - it's time for our annual Hoops for Heart Event!!! Our event will be held on March 28th, during all related arts classes. Click here for more information, and be sure to take note of our special kick-off incentive happening this weekend only!
Wednesday night we held a community meeting about school safety, security, and mental health supports in Howard County. I appreciated the parents, families and community members who joined us for this meeting. Last week I sent a message asking you to speak to your children about safety and security at Mayfield. If you missed that message or if you forget, it’s never too late to talk to your kids and to continue to remind them of ways they can help keep our school safe. Click here to re-visit the last MWMS newsletter, and the message sent about school safety. Thank you for your continued collaboration and support.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Attention 6th grade families!
Do you know that your child must have certain immunizations before the first day of school, of the 2018-19 school year? Click here for more information.
A Message from the Cafeteria

Please check your child’s lunch account and make sure there is an adequate balance to cover lunch purchases. Account balances can be viewed at: www.schoolbucks.com.
