Lunch and Packet Distribution Change
We wanted to make you aware of a change to the Food Distribution plan for providing on-the-go meal packs for students. Beginning on Monday, April 13, the food distribution site will only be open on Mondays and Wednesdays. This change comes out of an abundance of caution to families and staff members working meal delivery. Reducing the number of person-to-person contacts each week will help to keep our school communities safe and healthy. Two breakfasts and two lunches will be distributed to each child on Mondays and three breakfasts and three lunches will be distributed to each child on Wednesdays. These meal packs will be provided for students 18 and under from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays at the following sites:
- Central, 305 E. Cedar Street
- Fairview, 600 N. Marion
- Havencroft, 1700 E. Sheridan Street
- Indian Creek, 15800 Indian Creek Parkway
- Northview, 900 N. Woodland Road
- Ridgeview, 1201 E. Elm Street
- Rolling Ridge, 1500 W. Elm Terrace
- Washington, 1202 N. Ridgeview Road
- Westview, 500 S. Troost Street
Children must be present to pick up a meal. This will be set up as a drive thru site as they have been in the past.
Two important notes:
- Learning packets will be available on Mondays only beginning April 13.
- The weekend back snack program for students who were already on the distribution list will be changed to Wednesdays at each of the food sites, staring on April 15. Families involved in this program will be contacted by their principal to receive more information.
The meals will be prepared and distributed under strict sanitation procedures by the district’s Food Services staff, following all food safety requirements of the Kansas Food Code plus additional protocols specifically to protect against the spread of COVID-19. Note: families will have to monitor food allergies on their own; no special food and diet restrictions will be able to be maintained at this time.
Thank you for continuing to partner with us to support our children. We appreciate your patience as we make changes to better serve our community.

SeeSaw - A Tool to Stay Connected
At the beginning of the school year, our teachers requested funding for a school wide version of SeeSaw. Our PTO saw this as a great communication tool and funded this request in full. With our buildings closed, this resource has become invaluable.
Manchester Park teachers want to stay connected with your children! If you and your child are not connected to SeeSaw, please contact your child's teacher.
MP PTO Directory
During this time of school closures and social distancing, we know many of you are trying to stay connected with family, friends and your community. Maintaining connections and relationships is important for our kids we well. Manchester Park PTO wants to help!
The Manchester Park School Directory is a great way to find your student’s classmates and to reach out to say hello, set up virtual playdates, etc. In order to access the school directory, you must be logged into your account on the PTO website.
