- Girls Volleyball: There will be a volleyball series to learn basic volleyball skills for 3rd-6th graders on Saturdays. Information can be found on the Facebook page. Thanks!
- Holiday Help: The Holiday Season is fast approaching. Times can be difficult. With the added stress of the Holidays, some families struggle more than usual. If you are in need of assistance this Holiday Season, we have our Holiday Help forms outside the Elementary office. The forms are due back to the office by November 27, 2023.
- 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!
- WIN Room: The WIN room could use size 7/8 girls pants and 7/8 boys pants. If you have any that you would like to donate please bring them to the office.
- 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!
- 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 Tuesday, October 31!
Manton Mix It Up 3on3 Basketball Tourney!

Were calling it a Mix It Up Tournament because teams must consist of 2 boys and 2 girls. I thought I would share this with you so you can forward it to your youth teams.
