February Parent Newsletter
Manvel School ~ 2022
A Note from Principal Hiltner
We have started strong into the third quarter of school. Students are working hard, and teachers are building "proficiency scales and rubrics" to help assess your child's knowledge of the priority standards at all grade levels. We also have a vocabulary document that shows the important vocabulary words taught at each grade level. You can find those on our school website to help you reinforce those words at home. Below see "12 Powerful Words" that research says all students should know well. We are moving closer towards standards-based report cards at Manvel School.
Many of our Manvel students are involved in extra-curricular activities outside of school. If you have any successes to share with us, please do! We love to highlight and support our students both in and out of school on our school's Facebook page. We are proud of our Manvel students who continue to shine and show integrity and determination within the community.
Congratulations to our Manvel Superintendent, Dave Wheeler. He finished his Doctorate Degree from the University of North Dakota in December and is now Dr. Wheeler. We are grateful for the knowledge and expertise he brings to our district.
Reading Month in March is coming quickly. We are looking for parents or grandparents to come in and be a "Mystery Reader" and read a story to your child's class. Please reach out to their teacher to schedule a day/time in March if you are interested. We are always looking for ways to involve our families in our school, and the students love to see new faces in the building.
May you continue to stay healthy and safe. We are grateful for the opportunity to educate your child in a loving and caring environment. Connections and relationships are KEY to a successful school, and it takes EVERYONE'S contribution to make it happen! Thanks for always partnering with us in the best interest of your child! Have a GREAT February!
