The Manning Minute
April 13, 2025
Dear Manning Families,
I want to take a moment to recognize and thank our students for their hard work on CMAS testing this past week. While these assessments represent just one measure of student learning, they provide valuable insights that help us continue to strengthen instruction and support our learners.
A quick reminder: 8th graders will take their Science CMAS assessments this Wednesday, April 16. There will be no school for 6th and 7th graders that day, and 8th graders will be dismissed at 2:40 PM.
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate our four NASA HUNCH teams who traveled to Houston last week to present their impressive work. It’s an extraordinary achievement to have even one team selected—let alone four! A huge congratulations to our student engineers and their amazing mentor, Ms. Maud.
As we enter the final six weeks of school, please take a moment to review the family calendar to stay up to date with all the exciting events happening at Manning.
In partnership,
Matt
