Hello Eagle Families,
August 25, 2025
Dear Maya Angelou Families:
Welcome to the 2025 - 2026 school year. On behalf of the entire Angelou staff, we are privileged to serve such a dynamic school district and community. We are ready to SOAR to New Heights with our Eagle students!
Over the summer, the school was enhanced with an array of Maya Angelou quotes and a timeline of her life. We are so happy to celebrate her namesake in this way. The building looks fabulous.
Parents are an important part of a child’s education. We cannot develop fantastic students without your help and guidance. We ask that you support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:
Attends school daily and arrives on time (8:25 for breakfast), ready for the day’s learning experience
Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills
Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life
Sees you participate in school events to show your committment to learning
Completes all homework assignments given by teachers
Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject
School is the Place to Bee! The most important parent responsibility is to get your child to school all 174 days this year. As a school, 65% of our students had positive attendance last year. Thank you to those families. We are closer to our attendance goals!
It is also the family’s responsibility to have students “Arrive by 8:25” for breakfast and remain in school until 3:00 every day.
We are excited about all of the learning our students will experience this year! Our reading and math curriculums are being enhanced with positive phonics work and support. Our school is adopting a new school wide behavior management plan in CHAMPS.
Our Eagle staff is very excited to partner with you again this year. We are looking to increase our parent involvement in the school since that will enhance student learning. Sign up for Parent Square for more ways to get involved.
Here’s to a great school year!
Excitedly,
Ms. Mahorney
Principal, Maya Angelou School
