We are excited to announce that the Myrtle Point School District is planning on opening Maple School in the fall of 2024-25 as a Middle School. Maple Middle School will be grades 6-8. Moving students into Maple will allow the district to get out of the Davenport Building at the Coos County Fairgrounds. The District has done several tests to ensure that Maple is capable of hosting students. The building currently houses the District Office and the Technology Department. Maple will get new paint in most of the classrooms and some new flooring before the next school year begins.
If you any questions or concerns about reopening Maple, feel free to send me an email at steveperkins@mpsd.k12.or.us I will make sure your question or concerns are answered.
During spring break, we installed Security Fences at Myrtle Crest Elementary. These fences will ensure that visitors can only enter the building through the main office. All students and community members must also enter the building through the main office doors. We are very happy with the new security measures for Myrtle Crest. This addition will make Myrtle Crest a secure building with only one main entrance. All outside entrance doors at Myrtle Crest are now locked during the school day.
Myrtle Crest and the high school are hosting parent conferences this Thursday night and Friday. Make sure you drop in and check on your student’s progress at school.
Our student calendar has been approved for the 2024-25 school year. One major change is there is no school during the week of Thanksgiving, so families can make plans to travel that week without missing school.
Enjoy the spring weather. Get outside and enjoy an activity. We currently have baseball, golf, softball, and track going on in the district.
