Family Learning Nights
Tuesdays in October, 5:45-7:00p
Mann hosts English-language learner families on Tuesday nights during the month of October for Family Learning Nights. Dinner is provided, as well as classes and various skills - from parenting to basic computer literacy. Childcare is provided, and we are looking for two additional childcare volunteers for each of the nights.
Media Center Help
Ongoing
Mann media center needs your help reshelving books! If you can come in for an hour shift each week or occasionally, please contact teacher librarian Amanda Carey. Mornings or lunch hours work great, and you can time it to have lunch with your kids! Contact Amanda at carey.amanda@iowacityschools.org
Pop Tabs for Ronald McDonald House
All Year
Save your pop tabs and send with your student to school. Each room has a mini Ronald McDonald house for children to deposit them into!
Crayola ColorCycle Marker Recycling
All Year
Send in your spent markers (any brand!) for your child to recycle. Classrooms have a basket to receive markers, or you may collect a large number to drop at the office.
Mann Photographers
All Year
Grab your phones and cameras and capture moments throughout the year. We’ll be collecting photos in the spring for publication in the Mann Yearbook. Send photos to ambercapps@gmail.com as you take them.
Voluntary School Directory
We have set up a voluntary opt-in school directory for the school year. If desired, you may enter your contact information (phone, email) along with your name and the name and grades of your children. This directory will be shared among our Mann community and enable parents and guardians to contact one another.
To participate in the directory, please follow this link, fill out the requested information and submit. https://forms.gle/AxheUJqijf7kuvM17 We’ll send out a link to the collated directory later in the month.
