Hello and welcome to Maywood Public Schools. We are located in northern Bergen County, a quick fifteen-minute drive from New York City. Our two schools, Maywood Avenue and Memorial, offer programs for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade

We would like to remind you that the school budget and BOE election voting will take place on April 21, 2009. First things first—in order for you to take part in the voting process you must first be registered. The filing deadline for voter registration is March 31, 2009. Being an informed voter is also important and therefore we would like to remind you that there is a meeting of the Maywood Board of Education scheduled for March 25 AND March 30, 2009 at 7:00 PM to address budget information. The meeting will take place in the Maywood Avenue School Media Center.
