Dear Manchester Families,
What a wonderful school year! I can't believe it is already drawing to a close. We are entering our season of testing which requires our students to do their very best and showcase all that they have learned during the year. PASS is May 7-9 for our students in grades 3-5. Please do not schedule appointments which would pull your student out of school during those testing days. It is important that students are on time for school and they attend school everyday.
We are working on our Title I needs assessment and we are seeking ideas from our parents. If you have any questions or ideas for school improvement, please call or come by the school. My door is always open and I enjoy getting to know our Manchester families. Our theme is "Manchester Works" and I believe Manchester works because of our supportive families and dedicated teachers. Thank you for helping to make this school year a success!
Joan Tye
Principal
