The Manning Weekly Newsletter
January 22, 2021
Manning Community,
Also, I would hope that if you have not yet, you will read the "Refresher for Returning to School" newsletter that was sent out earlier this week. For your convenience, we've also created a link below for you to review this very important newsletter.
Finally, I wanted to inform you that our construction project is on track, as the completion date is still August 2nd, 2021. This is very exciting news as we are going to have all of our students and teachers in the building and say goodbye to our cottages!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I know the Ramaker family is gearing up for some hiking this weekend, and of course, some good food and football.
Stronger Together,
Christian Ramaker

SEL Corner....a place to fill up your bucket
Hybrid returns Monday. This is huge news. There are so many reasonable responses to this transition. You might feel excited, anxious, and hopeful. Or just excited. Or just anxious. Or, maybe there is worry mixed in there. You, and our students, are complicated beings capable of so many feelings. I want to encourage everyone, hybrid or fully remote, to take time for whatever comes up. Process your anticipation. I love using circle questions for this kind of thing. At family together time you could ask and share your response to these questions- 1)What three words would you use to describe the time of being fully remote? 2) One thing you are not looking forward to about returning to school. 3) One thing you are looking forward to. 4) What brings you hope? (Or, what represents hope to you?)
I like these questions because they allow for a range of responses and recognize their valid feelings. By participating in these questions, yourself you model how to process and prepare for change.
