March Parent Newsletter

March is here!

Spring is right around the corner, and our weather has been beautiful! It is hard to believe, but the end of our third quarter is on Thursday, March 13th. After that, it leaves only ten weeks left of this school year!

Thanks to so many of our families and community members who made donations of candy and money to the Middle School for the Valentine bags that were delivered to the Cancer Centers in Grand Forks and Manvel Senior Center.

Just a Friendly reminder that there is NO school on Friday, March 14th. There might not be school on Friday, March 28th(weather depending).

The Manvel School Board has approved the calendar for the 2025-2026 School Year. I have attached it below in this newsletter. In this month's parent newsletter, you will find information about the Preschool Screening, 6th Annual MPS Spelling Bee, and Grandparents Day.

The North Dakota A-Plus State Assessment will be administered in a few weeks in grades 3rd - 8th, deemed mandatory by the State of North Dakota.

Please don't hesitate to reach out about any concerns, questions, or ideas you may have to help us make MPS a place where we continue to empower every student every day!
