Principal Note
One Book, One Munhall
For the past few years, Munhall Elementary has partnered with our amazing PTO to run a program that helps promote family reading and foster a love of reading through our One Book, One Munhall initiative. This year families are encouraged to download a free copy of Charlotte's Web, and follow a prescribed pacing guide. You are encouraged to read, discuss, and enjoy as a family. The One Book, One Munhall program starts Monday, February 1st!
The attached file includes how to download a free copy of Charlotte's Web (our 2021 title!), as well as a family reading schedule. We have paced the chapters so we can read one chapter a night, and have the weekends to catch up.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I want to extend my gratitude to Sarah Barthel and the Munhall PTO for planning and organizing a program, such as this, intended to promote the love of literacy by building in opportunities for family engagement in reading.

MIDDLE SCHOOL TRANSFERS - REQUEST PERIOD OPEN FROM FEB. 1 - FEB. 26
Families who wish to submit a Middle School Transfer request may do so beginning February 1, 2021. Families must complete a separate form for each student they want to be transferred. Requests are granted based on space available. This means that siblings are not guaranteed placement. A written decision will be communicated to families before spring break.
Once the request is approved, a student may remain at that middle school throughout his or her middle school career, as long as the student resides in District 303.
Families of students granted permission to attend a school outside of their assigned attendance area are responsible for their own transportation.
Students will return to their assigned attendance area high school regardless of the middle school attended.
The Middle School Transfer request window will close at 4:00pm on February 26, 2021.
If you have questions, please contact Tammy Marsan at: 331-228-2397.
