April Parent Newsletter
Manvel Public School 2019
Message from your administrators
Dear Mustang Families,
April is here and that means the 2018-2019 school term is nearing the end. A big thank you to all the parents, students and staff for another successful school year. We will again be having a fun "countdown to summer" with the letters of the alphabet starting in mid-April.
As we approach the spring of the year, please keep in mind we will have more children walking to and from school. Please abide by the traffic flow and laws for student drop-off and student-pickup. The attention to these details is for the safety of our children that attend the Manvel Public School.
We also want to thank our parents that attended their child’s Parent-Teacher Conferences in March. These conferences gave the teachers and parents an opportunity to work alongside one another as partners to help children grow academically and socially. This was truly an opportunity to celebrate successes!
Our 8th grade travels to Wolf Ridge April 8-12. This annual event is exciting and leaves a lasting impression on our students.
As a reminder, Thursday, April 18th has been established as our Storm Make-Up Day, so school WILL be in session, however, April 19th and April 22 will be days off as of now.
On Tuesday, April 23rd, from 5-7 p.m., Manvel PTO will sponsor a STEMzone night for our students and families. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) is designed to engage hands-on learning and promote critical thinking skills. Please come and have fun learning with your child!
Friday, April 26th will be Grandparent's Day from 2:30-3:30 p.m. See flyer below for more details. The students are excited to show the fun learning they are doing at MPS.
As always, we value your input and invite you to share with us any ideas you may have to help our school continue to grow and move forward!
Happy Spring!
