September 18, 2020
Dear MHS Students and Families,
I want to thank you all for your patience and flexibility this opening week! We've launched remote learning for our Hybrid students, welcomed our Daily students back into the building, and oriented our Virtual Remote students to the Edgenuity platform.
Textbook and supply distribution will take place next week. Please see below for further instructions. Pick-up time slots will be sent to students and parents directly via email shortly.
In addition, please mark your calendars for virtual Curriculum Night this coming Thursday, September 24th starting at 6:15PM. We are currently finalizing the details, and will send more information early next week.
I want to thank the Mansfield High School staff for all of their efforts over the past few weeks to prepare for the start of school. We all agree that it has been wonderful to see and reconnect with our MHS Hornets once again!
Take care,
Mary Watkins
Principal
