We look forward to meeting with all parents during our first conference of the 2023-2024 school year.  This is a great opportunity to discuss student strengths and weaknesses, to set goals, and to ask clarifying questions about classroom work and activities.  If you are unable to attend during the available conference times, please email your student's teacher individually to try to coordinate a time that will work for both of you.  Please select the link for your child's class to choose a time to meet from the available schedule.

Mrs. Mathews' 4th grade class worked as teams to try and create the tallest tower using only marshmallows and spaghetti!

Maple Ridge 5th graders recently had the best time learning about chemical reactions with the Discovery Gateway Museum. They performed a fun experiment with surprising results!

Our Maple Ridge first graders went on a field trip to Gordo's Farm. They learned how pumpkins are grown, explored a corn maze, interacted with different farm animals, took a train ride and had fun playing together! The teachers even had some fun too!

When Coach Sitake does part of your training for the day, you know you are going to be motivated to go back to school and do great things!

Maple Ridge teachers were treated to a tour of the Brigham Young University Student Athlete Center by Coach Jack Damuni and were then taught by Coach Sitake about goal setting, growth mindset and motivating our students.

When:  Thursday, September 14th 5:00 - 7:30pm

Where:  Maple Ridge Elementary School

Second graders have started their matter rotations! Each week, they get to visit a different second grade classroom to do different experiments in order to learn about the states of matter, how they change, and how matter functions.
