Hello Maplewood Mustangs!!
I know this has been a change for all of us and change is not always easy to adjust to. I want you to know that we miss all of you very much and can't wait to see you again. Your teachers have been working very hard to get things set up so that they can continue to teach and work with all of you and we thank you for your patience and understanding while we figure all of this out. We are all in this together and we will get through it.
This page is designed to help you and your parents adjust to the changes by providing information and resources for you to access during our distance learning. Please let me knwo if you have any questions, concerns, or just need to talk - I am still here for you. I will have office hours posted in the calendar section and I can always be reached through email (listed below) or the following number (352) 614-0370.
We miss you and hope to see you all very soon!
