"A" group students will physically attend on Monday and Tuesday and will virturally attend on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each week. "B" group students will virturally attend on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and will physically attend on Thursday and Friday of each week. Contact the Counselors at hrivera9163 with questions.

Tip to help your child adapt to wearing a mask: Let's pretend! Integrate masks into your favorite pretend play scenes. Encourage your child to dress up as a doctor, nurse, or veterinarian. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
Schedule Distribution for Maumelle Middle:
We are currently moving students who chose digital learning to virtual class sections. When that is complete, we will then be changing the other students’ schedules so no more than 15 will be in a classroom at one time. Our goal is to have schedules ready by Thursday, August 20. Thank you for your patience.
Chromebooks roll out schedule- 7th grade, Wednesday August 12th 3:30 to 6:30, 6th grade Thursday August 13th 3:30 to 6:30. 8th graders that have picked up their device can come on either day. Monday August 17th 3:30 to 6:00 will be the last day for all students to pick up their device prior to the start of school. Please make yourselves available.
Tip to help your child adapt to wearing a mask: Use easy to understand language and positive phrasing to explain why it is important for children to wear their mask. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
7th grade athletes: All boys and girls who signed up for 7th grade sports and plan on attending that class MUST have a medical clearance (physical) from a clinic to stay in the class. Girls will tryout for volleyball the first week of school. Boys will tryout for football the first week of school. Basketball tryouts will be held sometime in October. The medical clearance MUST say the student is cleared to participate in sports.
