The Manning Weekly Update
September 10, 2021
Manning Community,
I wanted to share a few things as we put a close to the fourth week of school:
First, we finished our first round of MAP testing for math and ELA the past two weeks, but there are close to 150 make-ups that we need to complete next week. Please know that if your student did not complete or take their MAP test for either subject, they will be pulled out of class at some point next Monday and Tuesday for make-ups. If students are not here either day, they may end up completing make-ups W-F of next week.
Second, I hope you can make it to our parent partnership (school accountability committee) meeting on Tuesday evening at 5:00 p.m. All are welcome. On Tuesday, we will discuss the purpose and role of parent partnership in the school and go over the 1st draft of our unified improvement plan for the 2021-2022 school year. Tuesday's current forecast is a chance for storms. If that is the case, we will meet in the cafeteria. If the weather is nice, we will meet outside in the courtyard. Either way, we will have a staff member at the front doors to greet you and make sure you know where to go!
Finally, I wanted to share an update on our traffic audit. I know that having Mr. Wall or myself out there has helped the traffic flow significantly and moving our early release on Friday was also a great help. The consultant from Jeffco risk management has been in touch with Wheat Ridge and they are hopeful they can change the technology in the light at 32nd and Alkire. Currently, the technology is not equipped to change the timing of the lights. If they are able to upgrade the technology, they are open to changing the timing of that light for school dismissal, Monday-Friday. So, that's good news as long as it comes to fruition. Also, we found out that the light across the way from Maple Grove is not controlled by Wheat Ridge and only turns red when someone hits the button to cross.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy this uncharacteristically warm September:)
Best,
Christian

SEL in our Community
Community can be found just about anywhere. School holds a special place for community. We are a true intersection of society with all types of people, interests, values and the like represented. Each school day we have the opportunity to build community and deepen our bonds, and some days we have a special chance. Our Back to School and Community Night was one of those nights. Adults had the chance to experience the building, meet the teachers, and then we all had wonderful food from community based food trucks!
