MASD Elementary Visits

MASD elementary students who will be transitioning to a new school in the fall recently had an opportunity to visit their future school!

During their visit, students engaged in a variety of activities such as meeting their new principal, interacting with their future classmates, touring the school, and other fun activities to help them feel comfortable in their new school.  

The visits were a great success! Thank you to all of our students and staff who warmly welcomed these students to their school!

ELA Fairy Tale Court

Third grade English language arts students at Hyde Elementary School have been diving deep into the concept of point of view! To bring their learning to life, they took part in an exciting and creative activity: Fairy Tale Court! 

In this engaging mock trial, students put their favorite fairy tale characters on the stand, hearing both sides of the story. After carefully considering the evidence, they acted as jurors and made the crucial decision on who the real villain of the story was!

New School Visits

As part of our redistricting plan for the 2025-2026 school year, we want to ensure that elementary students who will be transitioning to a new school have an opportunity to visit their future school before the start of the new school year. We will have multiple opportunities for this to occur. Our first series of scheduled student visits will be on March 27 and March 28 for those impacted by the redistricting plan.

MASD Calendar Update

We want to ensure our families understand how this year's weather-related school closures will impact our school calendar.

As we previously shared, Thursday, April 17th, originally designated as part of spring break, will now be a regular school day. This change is necessary to make up for the snow day we had on Monday, January 6th.

The district designated Wednesday, January 22, 2025 as an Act 80 Day. This means students will not have to make up the day.
