The Ecole Maple Team

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT STAFF PARKING LOT

This is a very important message to all of our community members. The large parking lot at the back of the school is intended for staff only. Please refrain from parking in these spaces, or pulling into the parking lot at all for pick-ups.

Parking here or pulling into the bus lane poses potential danger and accidents, especially during times where buses are being unloaded or loaded.

We are asking all community members to park on the road, or find a side street to park your car while you come pick up your students. Thank you!

Maple Holiday Plant Sale Extended Until Nov. 11th

École Maple’s School Advisory Council (SAC) is excited to engage in a Holiday Plant Sale fundraiser with the proceeds being donated to The Food Sharing Project in Kingston. The Food Sharing Project is an organization that provides free nutritious food programs (breakfasts and snacks) for all publicly-funded schools in KFL&A, including École Maple Elementary School. Our school alone benefits from approximately $20,000 worth of food from the program.

The school community has the opportunity to purchase a few different holiday themed live plants. You have the option of purchasing a Cupressus Grinch Tree in a 5" pot, or a Lavender Cone Shaped Tree in a 6" Pot. Quantities are limited so orders will be available through School Day until Tuesday, November 11th or until we sell out. Your order will need to be picked up from the school on Thursday, November 27th between 3:30-5:00pm or Friday, November 28th between 7:45-9:15am.

If you have questions or special requests, please email the School Advisory Council at ecolemaplecouncil@gmail.com.

Remember to order your Maple Holiday Plants on School Day!

The Grinch Tree is still hiding around the school!

Happy Appreciation Day to all our Amazing RECEs and EAs at Maple

November is Cereal Month

Once again, this year we are honoring Brady Faroldi, an aspiring teacher from Kingston, who passed away due to an unknown cardiac issue. In his memory, École Maple Elementary School will be collecting nut-free breakfast cereals for the Food Sharing Project throughout the month of November. We are hoping to gather yellow boxes of cereal, such as Cheerios or Shreddies. Last year we also started to  collect Cheerios to keep in our school - so everyone at Maple always learns with a full belly!
