Manhattan School District 114
February 2024
We've enjoyed settling back into our school routines in the new year. It's hard to believe that we'll already be celebrating 100 days of this school year very soon.
On Monday, February 5th our K-2 students will celebrate the 100th Day of School. Students will enjoy a day of celebration, counting, and being 100 days smarter. Our K-2 students and staff are also welcome to dress like they're 100 years old on this day.
We do not have PTO classroom parties for Valentine's Day. K-2 students are welcome to bring cards to share with classmates and any other information will be shared by your child's teacher.
Please continue to read your child's grade level/classroom newsletter for important dates, reminders, and special events.

Notes from our Nurses
As flu season continues, our goal is to prevent widespread illness in school. Please keep your child home if he/she is experiencing symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, vomiting, cough, and sore throat. Your child may return once he/she is 24 hours symptom-free without medication.
Kindergarten and Second grade dental exams are due by May 15. If you have a child who is new to the district and/or new to the state of Illinois, a dental exam is required regardless of grade.
Please call if there are any questions or concerns. We are happy to help!
