November 2023
As our students will learn about gratitude this month, we are grateful for the Manhattan community and the families we collaborate with to serve our district's youngest learners. Already 50 days into our school year, we continue to appreciate your support and the opportunities we have to work together and make this a successful and memorable year for your child. Our teachers and students had a busy October, filled with many of our favorite traditions. We look ahead to more fun and learning in the coming months!

Notes from our Nurses
Vision and hearing screening has been taking place at Wilson Creek. We will be notifying the parents/guardians of any of the students who do not pass either the Vision and/or Hearing screenings. If you do not receive a letter from the nurse's office, you can rest assured that your child passed the screenings without difficulty. If you receive a referral letter, it is very important to follow up with a doctor when there are either vision or hearing concerns noted during your child’s school screenings.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please do not hesitate to contact us!
If you have any questions, our nurses, Leann Snider and Kelli Kueltzo, can be reached at lsnider@manhattan114.org and kkueltzo@manhattan114.org.
