Manton Remote Students
This month we must have One 2-way communications each week during October 7-November 3!
Parents and guardians must respond in a timely manner and address specifically the liaison's questions that are being asked. Questions need to be subject-specific, and they can not be repeated in weeks back to back.
All conversations must be directly related to your child's education. Technical questions and concerns do not qualify for 2-way communication.
The Administration will be notified if we are not able to connect with you each week. The Administration will then contact you to set-up a meeting about the lack of communication.
Bully Prevention Month ~ Many Leaves. One Tree.
This reminds us that we all come from one source. Even though we may look different, act differently, and are scattered all across the globe, we are all still connected in a sort of oneness by our very nature. These four words hold great wisdom that each of us already understands.
As a school, we have created a Unity Tree. Our students each have contributed a leaf, making our tree full of leaves. Their leaves have included kind words, how they can be kind to others, and how others are kind to them.
