Here’s your chance to memorialize their journey and your love for them in their senior yearbook. Reserve your senior tribute here: 2026 Senior Tribute Submission Form

Save the Date: Graduation

Maeser Sestercentennial Essay/Art Contest

Math Rocks!

The next meeting of Math Rocks will be held on Thursday, February 19th right after school. This fun math program is sponsored by UVU and is open to all Maeser students in any grade and any level of math. If you have not participated with us before, you’ll need to get a permission slip.

11th Grade ACT: Tuesday, March 10

On Tuesday, March 10, all of our 11th-grade students will be taking the ACT. This is a FREE opportunity for all juniors to take the ACT! Administration of this test will follow all ACT standards, so in order to create the required testing environment for our juniors, we have set aside this day for ACT testing only. **Your junior is already registered; you do not need to do anything to sign them up for this ACT administration.**

Tuesday, March 10 will be an ACT-testing-only day for our school. There will be NO SCHOOL that day for students who are not in 11th grade. 

Due to the need for an undisturbed testing environment, ACT does not allow us to have any students on campus who are not part of the ACT administration. Please make other arrangements for your students in grades 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 on March 10 as we will not have space or supervision available for them on our campus that day. As this is an official ACT administration, we will be unable to interrupt testing to check students out. We appreciate your help in ensuring a good testing environment for our juniors!

We encourage all juniors to take advantage of this free opportunity to take the ACT with their classmates on March 10. However, parents who prefer not to send their students to campus for testing can choose to opt their students out of this test by submitting a signed Parental Exclusion Form by Thursday, March 5 (to give us time to excuse your student’s absence and exempt them in the testing system).

Volunteer Help Needed

Junior Parents: We could use your help in making ACT testing day successful. We have found that providing brain fuel to help our students maintain focus and stamina during the test has been widely appreciated and successful. If you could help and/or donate breakfast and snack items for testing day, please use this link to sign up: ACT Breakfast & Snacks.

Proposed New Fee: Public Comment Period Open Through March 10, 2026

A new $50 Team Manager fee has been proposed as an addition to the 2025-26 Fee Schedule & Spend Plan. It will cover transportation to games ($25) and team gear ($25). If you would like to share any feedback with the board before their final approval of the Team Manager fee at their March board meeting, you may:

Email [email protected] before Tuesday, March 10

OR

Request to speak during the public comment period of the February 10 or March 10 board meetings (you can come in person or email [email protected] for the online meeting link)
