Winter Semi-Formal
Good news!
Mansfield High School will be hosting its first All School Dance in many years! The Winter Semi-Formal will take place Thursday, February 13 from 6:45-9:45pm at the MHS Gym.
In order to help defray costs, Student Council is hosting an apparel fundraiser. You can visit the fundraising page here: https://www.customink.com/fundraising/stucowintersemi . Please participate in order to keep ticket prices low!
Feel like you already have too much Mansfield gear? In lieu of purchasing an item, we are also accepting donations on the fundraiser page. The fundraiser will be live from January 3rd - January 17th. Items should arrive by the first week of February.
Please contact Jillian MacKinnon or Charlotte Boyd if you have any questions.

Drop Off Procedures
We have observed parents/guardians stopping short near the the side walk to drop students off for convenience, rather than pulling all the way around to Door T; this practice is causing additional traffic jams on East Street.
Thank you for attention and cooperation so that we can keep the traffic flowing for everyone!
Update to Building Supervision Hours- Cold Weather
In order to better ensure the safety of all students and staff by more closely regulating who accesses the building before and after school hours, school-wide building supervision for students will begin promptly at 7AM and end at 3PM.
Please provision for your child to arrive at school no earlier than 7AM since they will not have access to the building. Students walking to school or being dropped off who may need to wait a few minutes prior to the doors opening should dress appropriately for cold weather.
Thank you for observing these hours as we work to reduce risk and increase safety for all.
