Positive Quote of the Week:
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.” — Steve Jobs

Congratulations To The Following Team Members For #MakingAnImpact!!!
January Teacher of the Month: Ms. Paige Scharchburg
- Always flexible, available
- She is always willing to assist when needed, her classroom is engaging, and when provided feedback she implements action steps immediately.
- She cares about her students and is a hard-working and supportive PLC team member.
- She kills it while teaching two very difficult math preps
- Paige is a supportive, kind, and considerate coworker. She's been a great colleague and is always sharing strategies and materials -- even with folks outside her department. She's also really organized and genuinely cares about her students and their progress -- she works really hard and deserves to be recognized.
- Ms. Scharchburg is an outstanding teacher. Ever since she arrived on the scene(last year), she has shown an eagerness to learn and implement new ideas, the ability to communicate in meetings tactfully, and a passion to continue to improve her teaching methods to meet the needs of her students. I'm am proud to have her as a colleague and I truly believe that she deserves the honor of being teacher of the month.
January Support Staff Team Member of the Month: Ms. Loretta Calderon
- Because she is the best at her craft. I wouldn't want to take on her role. She is a superstar, and the best Front Desk Receptionist I know.
- Mrs. Calderon is always so friendly to staff, students, and visitors. She has her hands full at that front desk every day, from phone calls to tardy students & late shuttles to roaming students, she gives her all to help ensure our days are successful here at MSH
- Ms. Calderon is the front line of our school in many situations and deals with many, many fires (probably more than we know of!) and handles them with grace and kindness.

La tutoría obligatoria requerida para los alumnos bajo el Proyecto de Ley 4545 de la Cámara de Representantes establece que los alumnos deben estar en un grupo de no más de tres alumnos por un tutor. Manor ISD le está pidiendo que proporcione permiso para que su alumno reciba tutoría en un grupo que es mayor que tres alumnos. MISD está limitado en proveer sesiones más pequeñas que tres estudiantes durante el día escolar debido al personal limitado. Por favor, envíe una encuesta separada para cada académico inscrito en los grados 4-12.

College, Career, Military Ready
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 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 live my dream because...
I deserve to live my dream
I am powerful
I am “Manor ISD Strong”
I AM SOMEBODY!
