Mann Night at the Mill: This Sunday!
Sending out an invitation for you and your family to spend part of Sunday afternoon and evening with us at The Mill in Iowa City. The Mann PTO organizes this musical fundraiser to help support field trips and extra-curricular activites for Mann students. This is a family-friendly event and will feature two local musical acts. First up will be International Blues Challenge Champion Kevin B. F. Burt followed by Illinois John Fever, a country blues band that has been making music locally for over a decade.
The event is Sunday, Jan 20th from 5-8 pm and you are welcome to come for all or part of the evening. Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for students. All ticket proceeds will go to the Mann PTO. In addition, The Mill is donating 10% of all food and drink purchases to the PTO.
So - here is your chance to join your friends, listen to some great live music, and help support the students at Mann Elementary!
Hope to see you there!
Attendance and Voluntary Transfers
Attendance Zones
The Iowa City Community School District Board of Directors approved new elementary attendance areas for the 2019-20 school year. The new boundaries were approved during their November 27 board meeting. The updated maps can be found on the District website at the following link: www.IowaCitySchools.org/DistrictMaps. In addition, the District’s Attendance Area Look-Up links have been updated to reflect the approved boundary changes. The Attendance Area Look-Up links provide school information specific for your home address. The links can be found on the District website at the following link: www.IowaCitySchools.org/AttendanceAreaLookUp. Junior high and high school students may also be impacted by these changes.
