Positive Quote of the Week:

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” —Frederick Douglass

• His enthusiasm is amazing
• He has been working hard to connect with his students and ensure that they know how much he cares about their successes inside and outside of the classroom.
• He has been a fabulous addition to the Math Department, a core area of study here at Manor Senior High School. Not only does he offer his expertise as a Mathematics Teacher, he was an integral part of a playoff run for the Football program, leading the football team to one of the best if not the best record I've seen since I started teaching at MISD 9 years ago. The students have raved about his coaching and teaching abilities. He inspires student athletes to not only excel on the football field, but also in the classroom. He always has great insights, works hard, and has an eagerness to improve as a teacher, pushing students beyond the status quo. It is my honor to vote in Michael George as February teacher of the month.
• His work ethic and love for the kids is one of a kind.
• Michael has 10 times as many twitter followers and I do. That's amazing.

• Ms. DeShay is the admin to the counselors but goes above and beyond her duties. She is the gatekeeper in the Counseling office keeping order and great customer service to all that enter the counseling office. She has covered classes when teachers are absent moves students from one location to another keeping 100 percent accountability. Her attention to detail has been critical in the identification of students trespassing as well.
• She is always willing to help when needed and a stern, yet great support when it comes to discipline.
• She always goes above and beyond what is required.

SAT Registration Dates and Deadlines are attached. To obtain a SAT Fee Waiver, all seniors are to use the following process:

The process for a senior (preference over juniors) to obtain a SAT fee waiver to use to register for an upcoming SAT is the following:

1. Email Senia Deshay (senia.deshay@manorisd.net) and copy Patricia Reyes (patricia.reyes@manorisd.net) and Melanie Henson (melanie.henson@manorisd.net) and ask if you are eligible to receive a SAT fee waiver and to request a SAT fee waiver if you are.

2. Ms. Deshay will verify if you qualify for a fee waiver in Skyward. If you are eligible, Ms. Deshay will assign a fee waiver code to you and email it to you.

3. You will use the fee waiver code to register for the appropriate SAT.

4. You can use the same SAT fee waiver code twice - you can retake the SAT one more time at no cost. You can only get one fee waiver your junior/senior year. You do not get one your junior year to test twice and one your senior year to test twice. You get one SAT fee waiver and can use it to test twice.

5. The student may not give the fee waiver code to anyone else.

Please contact Dr. Melanie Henson, CCMR Advisor/Coordinator at melanie.henson@manorisd.net if you have any questions.

“I AM SOMEBODY!”

Inspired by Rita Pierson & Les Brown

I AM SOMEBODY!

I was somebody when I came

I will be a better somebody when I leave

I deserve the education that I get here

I have things to do...people to impress...and places to go

I know what I want in life and I will do whatever it takes to get it

I will never allow other people’s opinions of me to become my reality

I AM SOMEBODY!

I will "Make An I.M.P.A.C.T."

I will live my dream because...

I deserve to live my dream

I am powerful

I am “Manor ISD Strong”

I AM SOMEBODY!
