Fall Geetings!
Autumn is here! It is hard to believe it is October!
It has been so nice the last couple of weeks, but you can definitely feel the brisk FALL air.
We have officially been in school for six weeks.
Again this year we are partnering with the Manvel Fire Department to spread awareness of fire safety during National Fire Safety Week. This year, Fire Safety Week is October 6th-10th. Students in the younger grades will get to go through stations with Manvel Fire Department and learn about "Charge into Fire Safety"on Monday, October 6th. The Manvel Fire Department also purchased fire hats and coloring books for our students in PreK-3rd grade! There will be winners for a coloring contest, poster contest, and essay contest announced as well!
We are putting a special emphasis on being Resilient this month! Our students did a super job of practicing being respectful last month.
We still have Yearbooks for sale from the 25-26 School Year. They are great keepsakes with so many fun memories ~ check them out or purchase one in the school office ~ they are $25.00 each.
Again, thanks for partnering with us to bring quality education to Manvel Public School! Your children are loved and cared for at MPS!

Dressing for Cooler Temperatures:
The weather is turning colder. Parents, please make sure your children come to school dressed for outside activities! Putting your child's name on articles of clothing will help with items that may become misplaced. Thank you!
Student Accountability Report:
Each year, all schools in North Dakota are required to post the School Accountability Report for parents and stakeholders. Please see the document below to learn more.
