🏫 District Reminders
May 2, 2025
Dear Manville Community,
I’m excited to share some great news as we head into the final stretch of the school year!
Thanks to a mild winter, we’ve only needed to use one of the three inclement weather days built into our school calendar. That means we have two unused days, and we are delighted to add them to the Memorial Day weekend!
As a result, all Manville School District schools will be closed on the following dates:
- Friday, May 23, 2025
- Tuesday, May 27, 2025
This extended weekend provides a wonderful opportunity for our students, staff, and families to relax, recharge, and spend extra time together. We hope you enjoy the bonus break!
Thank you!
Jamil Maroun
Superintendent
