Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! At Manton Elementary, we strive to create a positive, nurturing learning environment that fosters growth and success. As the principal of this excellent school, I am committed to providing our students with the best possible education that prepares them for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

At our school, we believe that every child has the potential to achieve greatness, and we are dedicated to helping them unlock their full potential. We have a team of highly qualified and dedicated teachers who work tirelessly to create engaging and stimulating lessons that inspire our students to learn and grow.

Our school is not just a place of learning but also a community of caring individuals who work together to support one another. A strong partnership between parents, students, and staff is essential for the success of our students, and we encourage parents to be actively involved in their child's education.

I am excited about the possibilities as we start this new academic year. I look forward to working with you all to make this a successful and rewarding year for our students.

We will have plenty of opportunities for family engagement this year. Here are a few dates to keep in mind for this upcoming school year.
