Hello Manning Parents,

As we head into the week before Thanksgiving, there are a lot of things to be thankful for here at Manning. We have an active bunch of students and parents working together to make Manning and the Community a better place. STUCO’s service project begins this week collecting pet donations for Denver Dumb Friends League and Kari Laniel's Journalism class will begin collecting socks for Jeffco’s Serving Kids. Read more about helping these groups below.

To all 8th grade students and parents, there are 4 High School Open Houses this week, please click here for more information.

Just a reminder there is no school, or newsletter, for Thanksgiving break from November 21st through the 25th. Enjoy the time with your family and friends and we will see you back in school Monday, November 28th.

Reminder, Monday, December 19 will be a school day for all students. Tuesday, December 20 will be a school day only for students who need to make up a final exam. Our Holiday Break begins on Wednesday, December 21.

Thanks for all your support -

Mike Collins, Principal

A message from your School Nurse:

Dear Manning Families,

Please take a moment to review the following How Sick is Too Sick guidelines from the Colorado Department of Health. Manning is experiencing an influx of illness this fall and we are relying on our community to do their part in reducing the spread of communicable disease within the school. Please remember that there are more illnesses than just Covid that can be spread, and fever or a positive Covid test result are not the only reasons to stay home. Keeping our students and staff healthy and safe is our priority and we appreciate your help in doing this.

Laurie Ann Gibbons, RN BSN, District Nurse
