Due to the school building closure, bus registration for the 2020-2021 school year will be postponed until late May, or possibly June. Once the date and process is decided we will notify families. We thank you for your patience as we try to determine the best way to conduct bus registration during this challenging time. Please email candrade@maynard.k12.ma.us if you have any questions or concerns.

We are working on an alternative “virtual” meeting setup following state guidance, and anticipate having a meeting as early as next week. Details will be shared ASAP once a meeting date and format have been determined.

I am sure that you are aware that some of our surrounding school districts are beginning to announce prolonged school closing. I have been in communication with area superintendents and town officials monitoring the ever-changing landscape.
The Administration has begun working on plans for potential extended school closures. We will share that information with you as it becomes available.
The Commissioner of Education has scheduled a conference call for Superintendents tomorrow morning. I am confident that he will be giving us guidance on school closures. I will wait to make a decision about closing school until after the conference call and will communicate this information to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience as we work together through this rapidly evolving situation.

On Friday, 3/13, all School Offices, including the Central Office, will be closed.
