Welcome

Hi Maryland Avenue families,

We are so excited to start a new school year with you! It is going to be a GREAT year. Maryland Avenue is a wonderful learning community with a tradition of excellence. We partner with families in educating, nurturing, and supporting our students to be the best they can be! Our theme this year is “The Adventure of Learning Begins Here.” Adventures involve trying something new, taking risks, problem solving, skill, and most importantly…FUN. Our goal is to create joyful learning experiences where students are appropriately challenged and always supported.

With gratitude,

Stephanie Starr, Principal

School safety of our Maryland Avenue students a top priority. We ask that all visitors enter the school through the front office and check in for the safety of all of our students. The front gate will remain locked during school hours. Thank you for understanding about the need for security for all of our students.

There are many ways to get involved at Maryland Avenue. Joining the PTA is a great way to begin. Your small donation helps provide many opportunities for our children. You can also turn in a Volunteer Opportunities form to let the PTA know what areas or activities you’d like to be involved in. Lending a helping hand by volunteering in your child’s classroom another way to share your talents.

The most important way that you can get involved is to simply stay informed about what is happening at school and in the classroom. Please make a point of meeting and keeping in touch with your child’s teacher. We must work together to ensure that our children do the very best they possibly can.

Maryland Avenue is a proud Peace Builder School. We begin each day with Peace Circle where we recite our Peace Builder Pledge and praise students who have demonstrated Peace Builder behavior. Students learn the Peace Builder Pledge in Kindergarten and use it throughout their time here at Maryland Avenue.
