Hello Manual Families,
We had a great first week of quarter two. Our students showed up so well and were very engaged in class and on campus. As a school, we focused on the following expectations at Manual every day:
● No phones out or food in class.
● On time and engaged in class.
● On time in the morning and after lunch.
● Have your computers and chargers with you each and every class to learn.
Families can help staff by supporting these same expectations and reminding students that their focus is engagement and focus in class. The more we are aligned in these expectations, the more our students will grow and develop this year as students and as people.
Thank you for supporting these expectations and reinforcing them with your children.

This is an important stretch of the school year and I look forward to working with students to learn, grow and develop this week and into this quarter of the school year.
