News for You:
- School Forms: Please continue to turn in any school forms so we can have all of your child's information up to date. Thank you!
- Girls Basketball: Any girl interested in playing travel basketball this fall/winter, please return your form to the office by Friday, September 29. Thanks!
- Picture Retakes: Picture retakes will be on Tuesday, October 17. Please let your child's teacher know if they are getting retakes or need pictures. We do have picture forms in the office if you need them. Thanks!
- Parents in the building: For safety reasons, the school is encouraging parents and guardians not to enter the building during school hours (including drop-off time). This is to ensure the security of the students and staff, as well as to maintain a focused learning environment. Parents are welcome to drop off and pick up their children outside the school and can contact the school office if they need to speak with a teacher or administrator. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping our school a safe and productive place for everyone.
- End of Day: Please avoid making phone calls after 2:30 p.m. to the elementary office. This is a hectic time of the day, and delivering messages before the end of the day is challenging. This excludes any emergencies.
- Strive For Five: See the information below from our truancy liaison officer about having less than 5 days absent!
- Carpool Lane: Make sure to pull forward as far as you can to help reduce the congestion in the carpool lane. Also, parents ARE NOT allowed to exit the vehicle in the carpool lane. Thank you for understanding!
- Family Movie Night: Our first family engagement night will be on Thursday, October 26. More details coming soon!
- Popcorn Fridays: Parent/Guardians, popcorn Fridays are back! Students will get a bag of popcorn one Friday of the month (usually the last Friday). We are asking for students to bring in $.25 per month to help offset the cost of the popcorn. This is not mandatory, and we thank you for your help! *Our next Popcorn Friday will be on September 29!
Homecoming Spirit Days
The elementary will take part in Tuesday's and Friday's spirit days. Other grade levels will inform you if they decide to participate on any other day. Thanks!
Manton Parent Teacher Organization
If you want to be a part of the PTO, we meet approximately once a month for about an hour. We aim for parents and teachers to collaborate to supplement and enrich your student's educational experience! Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 5, at 6:00 p.m. in the elementary staff lounge. Thanks!
