Pardon Our Dust!
We will be performing maintenance on our PowerSchool
server on Monday and Tuesday, June 8 and 9, and PowerSchool will not be
available during this time. If you need a transcript printed for your student,
please wait to contact the office until Wednesday, June 10th.
Once the server is back online, we will use a new URL
to access PowerSchool. We will send out the new URL and login instructions via
email as soon as PowerSchool is online.
We appreciate your patience during this scheduled downtime!
Please Update Your 2015-16 Enrollment Information
If your plans for
next year have changed and you will not be enrolling your student at Maeser,
please contact us ASAP (registrar@maeserprep.org) to let us know. We
have many wait-listed students who are anxiously waiting for a spot to become
available!
Summer Driver Education Class
There will be a Driver’s Education Class at Maeser June 15th-25th
from 10am-12pm. The cost is $230. You can sign-up at the front desk or by
emailing Mr. Norris: jared.norris@maeserprep.org.
We will need a minimum of 15 students to run the class.
Summer Reading Program
Each summer, Maeser asks students to read a book that connects to
their next grade. This year, we have six exciting books for students to read.
Then, when we get back to the new school year, we'll invite them and their
parents to come to an evening book club where we'll discuss the book we've all
read. Come Friday, 28 August 2015 for an evening of food, conversation, and a
great way to kick off the new school year!

registration forms, and get a physical. Please note that tryouts are before
school even starts. Please make your vacation plans accordingly. If you have
questions, contact Coach Simmons (dustin.simmons@maeserprep.org).
Fall
Sports Eligibility
Academic eligibility for fall sports is based on 4th
term grades. Students must earn a 2.0 or higher with no more than 1 failing
grade to be eligible. No grades (NGs) count as failing grades. This policy also
applies to 8th graders and new students to Maeser Prep.
Sports
Eligibility for NEW Maeser Students
If you will be a new 10th, 11th, or 12th grader at
Maeser Prep for the 2015-2016 school year and are interested in playing sports
please contact Jared Norris (jared.norris@maeserprep.org) about eligibility.
You will need to get a transfer approved by UHSAA and the earlier the paperwork
is submitted the better. This applies even if you never played a sport at
another school. Once a student attends a high school their eligibility is
established at that high school. New 9th graders will establish their
eligibility at Maeser Prep and should not have to get a transfer approved
unless they tried out for a sport at a different high school.
