From School Administration

Dear Manor Woods Families,

It’s hard to believe we only have nine days remaining in the 25-26 school year. We look forward to the exciting events over the next nine days for end of year celebrations, closing ceremonies, and other fun activities here at Manor Woods.

We had a wonderful orchestra concert Wednesday night where we could celebrate our amazing student musicians! Congratulations to all of our student performers on an excellent concert! THANK YOU to Mrs. Zeitler for working so hard with our 4th & 5th grade orchestra students! YOU ROCK! And thank you to all of our staff volunteers for your support and dedication to our music program and helping to make the night a huge success. We have one remaining spring concert, our Chorus concert, next week, Tuesday, June 9th at 7:00 PM at Centennial High School. We are SO PROUD of all of our musicians! 
 

Next Friday, June 12th, will be our final Weekly Duck for SY25-26. Please look for the final newsletter to include important dates as well as staffing updates for SY26-27. 
 

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend! 

Kelli Jenkins, Principal

MWES Parent Volunteer Packing Support

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Our school and campus will be closed this summer due to Phase 3 of a major HVAC renovation project that is scheduled to begin shortly after the school year ends. Phase 3 requires the entire back half of the school building to be packed up by the end of the day on June 18. Staff located in the back of the building will begin packing up their classrooms and workspaces in the beginning of June. 

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up if you are interested in volunteering to help staff with packing tasks. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
