Happy Summer, Mallard Families!

While you're enjoying summer, we wanted to share an important update as you begin planning for the new school year.
New this year, Henrico County Public Schools is introducing a staggered start for kindergarten students to help our newest Mallards have a smooth and successful transition into elementary school.

Monday, Aug. 24:
First day for Kindergarten students (Student's Last Name A - L)
First day for students in grades 1–5

Tuesday, Aug. 25:
First day for the second half Kindergarten students (Student's Last Name M - Z)
All students in grades 1–5

Wednesday, Aug. 26:
All students attend

This staggered start gives our kindergarten students the opportunity to become familiar with their new school, meet their teachers and classmates, and begin learning daily routines before all students are together.

Additional back-to-school information and resources to help your family prepare for the first day of school are here to help set you up for a successful first day: https://www.henricoschools.us/page/back-to-school.

We can't wait to welcome our Mallards back for another amazing school year in August!

Our 5th graders are kicking off our SOL testing this week. Our 3rd-5th graders are so ready to show all that they've learned. We are cheering for them over the next several weeks!
**Please see Ms. Sims' weekly communication for SOL testing dates specific to your student.

We are grateful to Ms. Robinson and Mrs. Dykes for their "behind the scenes" support to help Maybeury run smoothly.

It's a great sunshiny day for the 1st grade performance. Come out to see them @ 6pm tonight.

April 15 is Purple Up! For Military Kids Day, a day dedicated to honoring the strength, sacrifices, and resilience of the more than 1.6 million children who serve alongside their military parents.
Why purple? It’s the color that symbolizes unity across all branches, blending Army green, Air Force blue, Coast Guard blue, Marine red, Navy blue, and Space Force dark blue.

The MLC, our student leaders, are having a cleaning supply drive for Mercy Mall. Please send in items via your student or to the front office until April 27th.

We hope everyone had a relaxing Spring Break. We are excited to see all of our Mallards today as we finish out the school year strong.

Sending you warmth and blessings this Easter Day!

Mrs. Robertson and Mr. Schaffer make the library a fun and welcoming place to come learn and read! Happy School Library Day!

The month of April is Autism Awareness Month. We celebrate all ways of learning and our wonderful exceptional education staff and classroom teachers work together to find the best way for our students with autism to thrive at Maybeury!

April 2nd is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day! Our Instructional Assistants lend their heart and helpful hands to our teachers and students everyday. Maybeury is a better place because of their support! <3

Happy National School Social Work Week to the one and only, Megan Martin! Thank you for supporting our students, empowering our families, and always being a voice for those who need it most. We appreciate you!

We are not only 100 days smarter but we are 100 days respectful, responsible and safe as we put into action the Mallard Mindset everyday!

We wish all who are beginning the Lenten season a time of reflection and peace.
