- Any remaining account balances (positive or negative) on students’ meal accounts at the end of the year will be automatically held for students at their current school or transferred to students’ new schools within the district.
- If your student is leaving the district then you may call Lae’La, Cafeteria Lead at 505.916.5219 to arrange for a refund.
- Parents/Guardians, I’m noticing in the last couple of weeks, a lot of negative balances. Spring is a busy time of year, so let’s try to remember to send lunch money. Thanks, Lae’La

SUMMER PICNIC - Maplewood Neighborhood Association (MNA) would like to join in with Maplewood School and have a summer picnic on Sunday, July 23rd from 1pm to 5 pm at the school. Our vision is to provide musical entertainment, community information, and hopefully ice cream and cold drinks, and families would bring their own picnics and blankets. The event would also feature visits from the local police and fire departments, crime prevention specialists, and/or elected officials.
We need volunteers from Maplewood School to coordinate with the co-chair from the MNA. MNA has volunteers ready to help but we want to build community and we need your involvement. Please contact Jim@Battan.com (or 503-768-9998) by June 2nd if you can help make this first joint picnic a success by volunteering to help.
