Manitou Springs High School

We are officially one month into our second semester! In addition to many deep learning opportunities in classrooms, this week included Senior Night for Wrestling, students competing in the One Act play competition, Swim & Dive at their league competition, and our student body learning about driving safety through a game-show style assembly facilitated by CDOT.

Next week, we are looking forward to the Wish Week campaign led by Student Council kicking off on Monday, 2/6! Also please remember that there is no school for students on Friday, 2/10. Additionally, we have Family Conferences, which will be held virtually, on Thursday, February 16th from 1:15-6:30pm and Friday, February 17th from 8:00am-12:00pm. Registration links will be sent out to all families early next week.

Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!

This week during our late-start Wednesday at the high school, all instructional staff met together to share our MTSS goals and work toward student success. Teachers across departments met and shared data on student successes and struggles from the first five weeks of the semester. Instructional staff will continue to engage with students about building basic skills that will contribute to resilience and build students' skills for avenues of success. Additionally, the building's MTSS Core Team meets weekly to gather data and shape responses as we continue to work for student success.

Thank you to our Parent Action Committee for creating a sign up for a Staff Breakfast on February 17th. This will get the day off to a great start before parent/teacher conferences begin. If you would like to help, please sign up here - https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4AAFA72AA5F5C70-conference4
