Stuff you should know
- Our Math Interventionist, Ms. Olson, offers math tutoring for 5th-8th graders after school upon request. There is no charge for this! Please contact her at tolson@mantonschools.org if interested or through her Remind App (simply send a text to: 81010, text this message: @3hd346 to join)
- As a reminder, the MS has implemented a "no cell phones" policy this year. If a student's cell phone is at school, it needs to remain in their locker at all times (upon request, staff will give permission for students to bring their cell to the office to contact parents if that is the preferred method).
