Welcome Back, Maeser!
We have missed you over the summer and are super excited to kick this year off right! We hope you have enjoyed your break and are ready to jump right back into your Maeser community with classes and activities! You will notice a few changes as you walk through the halls and classrooms. Maeser never sleeps! We are always improving just for you.
We’ll be on a special schedule for the First Day of School on Monday.
Please note the new 2018-2019 Calendar, 2018-19 Maeser Bell Schedules, and 2018-19 Maeser Fee Schedule as posted in Maeser Updates previously. We will also be having great Forums this year. What’s Forum? You’ll learn more about Forum on Monday morning — you are going to LOVE it!
We will see you at 8:00am on Monday in your full dress uniforms!
IMPORTANT Carpool Information
Enter: 1600 North OR 1200 West
Exit: 1200 West ONLY
Please do NOT stop in the front of the Maeser building. Drive all the way around to the north side and pull forward as far as you can.
There are TWO carpool lanes: the 1600 North lane and the one entering from 1200 West. There is no need to merge until AFTER drop-off, when you round the corner and exit onto 1200 West.
DO NOT USE THE CHURCH TO PARK OR DROP OFF STUDENTS. They do NOT want the liability. We had our visit this year from the facility manager at the church — they will be towing violators. We have plenty of parking at Maeser.
Our school building opens at 7:00am, so you can drop off your student as early as 7:00am (though there are few teachers here at that time to supervise students).
If you arrive for drop-off between 7:30-7:45am, the carpool lane is usually wide open!
In the afternoon, please give your student a chance to talk to their friends and go to their locker after school. Most students don’t even make it out to their carpool until at least 3:40pm. If you arrive for pick-up after 3:45pm, you won’t have to wait long at all for your student.
Encourage your student to come right out to the car after school to avoid holding up the carpool line.
Looking for a carpool?
We have an amazing Carpool Coordinator who has created carpool Facebook groups for our school:
