2015-16 Class Schedules and Schedule Changes
Preliminary student schedules for 2015-16 are now live
in PowerSchool! If you need assistance logging in or resetting your PowerSchool
password, please email info@maeserprep.org.
If you are a new Maeser family… look for an email
early next week with login information for PowerSchool.
If your student is missing classes in his or
her schedule…
this EITHER means that PowerSchool was not able to accommodate all of your
student’s requests, OR that your student did not request enough classes to fill
a complete schedule. Please plan to visit your student’s counselor on Schedule
Change Day for your student’s grade (see below).
If your student has no classes at all in
PowerSchool…
this means we did not receive a Course Request Worksheet for your student.
Please plan to visit your student’s counselor on Schedule Change Day for your
student’s grade (see below).
If your student needs to make schedule changes…
The counselors will be available
for schedule changes at the following times:
Monday, August 10 from 1:00-3:30pm:
7th and 8th grades
Tuesday-Thursday, August 11-13
from 8:00-3:00pm: all grades
Counselors are not making
appointments but will see students on a first come first served basis. To
save time, please use the Master
Schedule found on the Maeser Prep website to help you figure out the
changes you would like before you meet with a counselor. Families with children
in multiple grades may do all schedule changes on the same day.
PLEASE NOTE that if classes are
full, your student’s first choices may not be accommodated. It’s a good idea to
have several options in mind when you come to meet with the counselors.
You can access the Master
Schedule by hovering over the About Us tab and choosing
Course Catalogs, then scroll down and click on Class Schedule.
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!
Back to School Night and Fall
Uniform Exchange
Back to School Night
Back to School Night will be held
at the school on Wednesday, August 12 from 6:00-8:00pm.
Please
bring a copy of your student’s schedule,
as
there will not be time to print schedules
before
the class rotation begins.
In order to give you a chance to
meet all of your student’s teachers, we will begin the bell schedule at 6:05pm.
After the bell schedule rotation (10 minutes per class), there will be some
free time for you to meet those teachers you may have missed during the
rotation.
School supply lists should be
distributed during Back to School Night by your individual teachers. They will
also be posted online as they become available: Maeser
School Supply Lists.
Fall Uniform Exchange
Our Fall Uniform Exchange,
sponsored by our parent volunteers, will be held during our Back to School
event in the cafeteria Set-up and clothing drop-off will be from 4:00-5:00pm,
and the Uniform Exchange will start at 5:30pm. Please mark your clothes
clearly by safety-pinning an envelope to each item of clothing,
stating your name and the price you want for the item.
If you plan
to sell items at the uniform exchange, we ask for your cooperation in picking
up your items and money at the end of Back to School Night.
- Un-sold uniform items MUST be picked up either that night or by noon on Thursday, August 13th. This is a parent volunteer sponsored event and Maeser cannot be responsible for any uniform items left in the cafeteria. All uniform items remaining at the school after noon on Thursday, August 13th, will be considered to be donations to the school.
- Money envelopes can be picked up that evening from the volunteer in charge. Money envelopes left at the school at the end of Back to School Night will be taken to the front office and MUST be picked up by noon on Thursday, August 13th. The front desk cannot be responsible for these items after this time.
SOAR Binder Supply List for Students in 7th-9th Grades
Contact: Mrs. Goodrich (marlene.goodrich@maeserprep.org)
The SOAR Binder System is required for all 7th and 8th
grade students and highly recommended for all 9th grade students. It
will help you stay organized and keep your school work in order.
You will need the following supplies for the first day of school:
- One 1½ inch binder with pockets on the inside covers and a clear plastic window on the outside. Get a high-quality binder so it will last longer.
- One package of transparent plastic dividers with pockets and 8 tabs.
- A zippered pencil pouch that contains pencils, pens, a red pen, an eraser, a small pencil sharpener, and a single hole-punch. Some students also like to have a small stapler. A heavy duty pouch made of fabric will last longer.
- Loose-leaf notebook paper: 50 pages will get you started. Get loose-leaf paper, not a spiral-bound notebook.
- A file folder for each individual class (for your home file).
- A box or other container to hold file folders (for your home file – cereal boxes work great).
You will receive instructions on assembling and using the binder
in the SOAR class. The supplies are readily available at any office supply
store or Wal-Mart.

Sports Announcements
All prospective athletes must register online at www.registermyathlete.com BEFORE they are allowed to try out!
Fall Sports Eligibility
Academic eligibility for fall sports is based on your 4th term grades from 2014-15.
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

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

even if you never played a sport at another school. Once a student

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.

Classy
Uniforms Ending School Uniform Service
Classy Uniforms has
been serving Utah Valley charter schools by providing school uniforms over the
last six years. They have decided to focus on their core business of embroidery
and screen printing, so this will be their last year selling school uniforms.
They will do their best to provide Maeser parents and students with polos with
our embroidered logo, but they
recommend that parents shop early this year, as supplies will be
limited. They are bringing in new inventory that should be ready by July 20th.
We are grateful to Classy Uniforms for the service they have provided for our
parents and students over the last six years and will miss working with them as
our local school uniform vendor, but we wish them well as they refocus their
business model. Our Maeser uniform
items will continue to be available online through Lands’ End School Uniforms and at Dennis School Uniforms in Salt Lake City. We are in the process of looking for another vendor
who can supply our uniforms locally.
