Feature a Teacher
Our Featured Teacher is Maureen Calbert
Grade/Focus: 5th/6th Social Science
How long have you been at Cleveland Elementary? I have been at Cleveland for 8 years.
What do you love most about teaching? I enjoy knowing that I will be a part of my student’s lives forever. I especially enjoy the excitement on a student’s face when they have an “Ah Hah” moment.
What is your favorite thing about Cleveland elementary? My favorite part of Cleveland is being a part of an awesome team of educators, parents, students and administrative team. There would not be a Cleveland with these integral
If you weren’t a teacher, what other profession would you enjoy? I love the elderly. I would love to take care of them and make sure they have the things they need to be independent.
Do you have any pets? I do not have any pets; however, I love dogs.
What is your most favorite place you have visited? Why? My favorite place happens to be my son’s favorite place which is Wisconsin Dells. My son has Autism and this is the one place when he was young that he was happy.
If you had 1 superpower, what would it be? The superpower I would want to have is to duplicate myself so that I could be in several different places at a time. There is never enough time in a day.
How many laps did you run in the last Red Bird Hustle? How many do you think you will run in the next one? I did not run in the last Red Bird Hustle; I am dealing with a health issue and could not participate. Depending on the outcome of my health issue, I may not run next time as well.
New at Cleveland!
Thank You Friends of Cleveland!
FOC is SO excited to debut the most recent addition to the school!
With funds from recent donation efforts, they were able to install a large soccer goal back net along the school side of the soccer field.
The net was installed to both protect the schools windows and eliminate the extremely loud (and often times startling) bang it caused in the lunch room when balls hit windows/doors.
We look forward to hopefully getting another one installed along the back of the Albany street net sometime in the future.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are thrilled to be back at school, in person, after the months spent learning virtually. In an effort to reacclimate students’ behavior back into the classroom, we courteously ask that you please take the time to review the following expectations and have a discussion with your child/children. These expectations focus on being responsive, responsible and reflective. It is helpful to establish clear expectations in order to maintain safety, build relationships, achieve academic growth, and become independent and self aware.
To support students at school, teachers practice Calm Classroom, focus on SEL (Social Emotional Learning), and create a structured routine with norms and expectations. When these behaviors are practiced at home, better decisions are made at school. By working together, we hope to ensure all students are equipped with the skills to become successful, both emotionally and academically, at home and school.
Thank you for your help with this matter.
