Message from Principal Masone
Dear Families:
February surely brought winter and snow days and late starts. Thank you for working with us through our wintry days. Please check out our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Manitou-Springs-Elementary. We are now starting to post important announcements as well as share some fun happenings at our school.
Enrollment is open for families who live outside of Manitou Springs. Manitou Springs Elementary School is a small town school with big charm and we want to share our school with you. Please let families and friends know about MSES. Choice Enrollment
If you have a fifth grader, you have the option of sending your student to Manitou Springs Middle School or the sixth grade program at Ute Pass. On March 3rd, Manitou Springs Middle School and Manitou Springs High School will be hosting an Open House. Come check out one or both schools.
We have a lot of spring events scheduled and we want to welcome you in-person for performances and activities. First on the list at MSES is Music in March. Check out our schedule below.
