As the first quarter of the school year ends, I want to celebrate our Mayfield students' hard work, growth, and accomplishments. Over the past nine weeks, our students have challenged themselves academically, built positive relationships, and demonstrated resilience as they continue to learn and grow. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and look forward to the opportunities ahead during the second quarter.

Parent-Teacher Conferences provide an important opportunity to reflect on your child's progress, celebrate successes, and discuss goals for the remainder of the school year. Conferences will be held on Monday, November 2, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Our teachers have been reaching out to families to schedule conference times, but if you have not yet selected a time, please contact the school office or email your child's teacher with your preferred conference time.

We are committed to ensuring that all families can fully participate in these important conversations. Several Spanish translators will be available throughout the day to support conferences. If you need interpretation services in a language other than Spanish, please contact the school in advance so we can arrange for a translator in your preferred language.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Working together, we can ensure every student has a successful and rewarding school year. We look forward to connecting with you during conferences and celebrating your child's progress.

Together, we make Mayfield a great place to learn and grow!

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Mayfield, and we are excited to give students and families a chance to discover new books, build home libraries, and spark a love of reading.

Next week, students can visit the Book Fair during Library or STEM class to browse and make purchases. If your child plans to shop during their class visit, please have them bring money with them to Library or STEM. The Book Fair will also be open before school, beginning Tuesday through Friday, at 7:05 AM. Please note that the fair may be very busy in the mornings, and we may limit entry to ensure students get to class on time.

📚 Family Book Fair Night
Thursday, October 29
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

We encourage families to join us for our Family Book Fair Night! This is a great opportunity to browse the selection together, support literacy, and find books your child will enjoy reading all year.

A few important reminders:

Students will visit with their library and STEM classes throughout the next week.

Popular new titles, including the latest Wimpy Kid book, will be available during the fair.

Posters will be available for purchase for $6 each.

Every purchase helps support our school library and literacy initiatives. We look forward to seeing our students and families at the Book Fair and celebrating the joy of reading together!

We are excited to partner with our families during our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conference Day on Monday, November 2, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Parents are encouraged to reach out to their child's teachers to schedule a conference time. Many teachers will also be extending invitations for both parents and students to attend together. To support meaningful communication with all families, several translators will be available throughout the day to assist during conferences.

Parent-teacher conferences provide an excellent opportunity to strengthen the home-school partnership, reflect on your child's progress during the first quarter, celebrate successes, discuss areas for growth, and collaboratively set goals for the remainder of the school year.

We strongly encourage all families to make every effort to meet with their child's teachers. By working together, we can ensure every student has the support they need to succeed.

We look forward to seeing you on November 2!

Congratulations to Team Black, our 5th Grade Intramural Basketball Champions, for their victory in a hard-fought championship game against Team Yellow! Both teams demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, teamwork, determination, and skill throughout the season.

After watching the entire intramural season unfold, we can confidently say that Mayfield has an incredibly talented group of 5th grade basketball players. We are proud of the growth, effort, and passion displayed by all of our student-athletes, and we cannot wait to watch them continue to develop their skills and one day represent our community as Osbourn Eagles.

A special thank you goes to Mr. Krizmanich for once again organizing and leading this outstanding program. We also extend our sincere appreciation to all of the staff members who volunteered their time to coach a team and help make this experience possible for our students.

Great job to all of our players on a fantastic season! 🏀🦅🎉
