How do families sign up children for athletic camps?
The various athletic camps (football, volleyball, boys and girls basketball, and baseball) will now all run through Community Ed. The catalog that was mailed out to homes recently has all the information to sign up. If you did not receive this catalog, you can sign up online through Mankato Area Public Schools website. It is under the Departments tab and Community Ed http://www.mankatocer.com/
Thank you and go Cougars!
How will the East construction impact bus students?
East will be closing the west parking lot (Tennis Court Lot or Junior High Lot) to student and staff parking from 7:00 am - 4:00 pm as of Wednesday, April 12th.
The East staff have worked with Palmer and Yeager Bus Companies to develop a plan for bus exchange, student drop off, and student pick up that provides the safest possible conditions for students we will be moving the exchange zone to the parking lot on the west side of the building.
East will have extra staff on-site beginning on Monday, April 17th to make sure students will be able to find the right bus in a safe manner. See map below.
This will not change any times for our routes. All will run on the same schedules.
Want to give a shout out?
We are inviting families to email Mr. Olson when their child(ren) have a successful experience outside of school. The celebration will then be included in the morning school wide announcement.
