Distance Learning among COVID-19
Vicki Lofthus, in our school kitchen, has provided more than 70 meals a day to Manvel kids. We are extremely grateful to her and our paraprofessionals at MPS for providing this service during this time. Please call our school office if you would like to be put on the list for meals.
Our custodial staff, Jim and Corinne, have deep-cleaned our school while also getting many updates completed for next year.
We are continuing to look at options for our 8th grade graduation. As we move closer to May, we will be updating our families about how this will look while following state health guidelines.
We continue to look for guidance from the State as we move forward into May about a timeline for re-opening schools. At this time, we will continue to offer distance learning to our Manvel School families. If you need anything, do not hesitate to call and ask. We are in this together!
*The MPS Distance Learning Plan that was submitted to the State of North Dakota can be found on our school website. This plan has information about learning, grading, and technology during COVID-19.

As we look ahead to next year, we have a lot of changes taking place. We will miss our current staff and wish them well, but look forward to new beginnings, and new and exciting learning for our students in the year ahead!
