Arrival Procedures
Reminder
For the safety of your children and all of the children at Manchester Park, please follow the procedures below for arrival:
- While busses are on our property, please do not pull up and drop your children off in the main drive. This is unsafe as they are walking between the busses to get to our main doors. Please use the car line and we will be happy to assist your child.
- If you need to come in, please park in a parking spot and walk with your children across the crosswalk.
Thank you for your assistance!
2018-2019 MP Yearbooks
Reminder
The on-line site closed Friday, February 15th and yearbooks can no longer be purchased through Jostens. On Thursday, May 16th from 8:00-8:20, any extra yearbooks will be offered for sale (first come, first served) for $22.00. This will be cash only. You will not receive your books on this day. They will be given to your child on the same day as all of the other students.
Cellphone/Smart Watch Usage
Reminder
As more and more of our older students are using cellphones or have smart watches, we would like your assistance in making sure that they are used correctly while at school and on the bus. While at school, we ask that the cellphone is turned off and left in their backpack if you choose to have your child bring it to school. Smartwatches should be on silent mode and not be used during the day. Please note that if a cellphone/smartwatch is lost, we will do our best to help find it, but Manchester Park is not responsible for any cellphones/smartwatches brought to school. We would also recommend that all cell phones be kept in backpacks on the school bus until the child’s stop unless the bus driver says differently. Regular checks of the phone by parents and locking content would be helpful in making sure that the cellphone is safe for all. Thanks so much for your help!
ID’s at the Main Entrance
Reminder
Due to district protocol, all visitors must present a photo ID to the camera at the front door. Whether you have been here multiple times over many years or new to our school family, please plan on having your ID out and ready to show the camera.
All visitors must sign in at the front office. This will be the same at arrival, throughout the day, or dismissal.
Thank you for keeping our children safe!
