Bakersville Families,
I am seeing a great deal of success with students who have been able to connect online with teachers throughout the day today and are working on assignments in their Google Classroom and/or on what was sent home with them yesterday, in some cases--either is fine.
Of note: some staff are experiencing intermittent power outages so if they do get disconnected, check back later into the Google Classroom and/or have your child or children continue working on his or her assignments as prescribed.
Although we have already asked and surveyed, if you somehow did not get our many messages throughout this school year about a take home device (ECF chrome book devices) please reach out to me if your student should require a chrome book for at home use going forward: kjosef@mansd.org.
Thank you for your continued collaboration, communication and support. Stay safe in this storm!
Principal Josef

Hello,
For anyone who ordered any Bakersville Spirit Gear, the orders have arrived (early!) and have been sorted. They will be going home with your child/children today! Thank you to Mrs. Ouellette for helping to organize this!
We are working with all of our students on what it, "looks like, feels like and sounds like" to be safe, respectful and responsible, in all settings in our school building. Please help reinforce these concepts at home!
Hello from the Music Room! Please save the following date:
Third & Fourth Graders:
Spring Concert for 3rd and 4th Grade

More information will follow as we get closer.
Mrs. Ouellette looks forward to seeing you and thanks you in advance for supporting the school music program!
Spirit gear orders should be arriving late next week. We will plan on sending orders home with the children. If anything changes we will let you know!
This week is National Crossing Guard Appreciation Week! Through hot and cold, sun and snow, these dedicated District employees are there to help get students safely to school every day. We hope you'll join us in saying thank you this week.
We are always seeking crossing guards to join the team – you can read more about it and apply here: http://bit.ly/3YFs4L0.
All Manchester School District athletics and activities scheduled for Saturday, February 4, are canceled due to the extreme cold. Please use caution if you must go outside.
There is no school Friday in Manchester School District due to extremely cold temperatures. There is no remote learning.
Temperatures will already be dangerously low in the morning, but will drop significantly throughout the day. The temperature at dismissal is expected to be around 5 degrees with a wind chill of negative-15 degrees. In these conditions, frostbite can develop in as little as 30 minutes. This is simply too cold for students who walk home.
The extreme cold is expected to extend into the weekend. Please remember to take these basic precautions if you must go outside:
- Dress in layers with a warm coat
- Wear a winter hat, gloves and face covering
- Limit time outside as much as possible
Please be sure to prepare for the cold weather coming our way. Make sure students have appropriate outer wear for the weather. We do no have outdoor recess in temperatures below a "feels like" temperature of 21 degrees F or precipitation. If your child is in need of something such as hats, gloves or a coat, please let us know.
We're thrilled to announce the new app for Manchester School District! It's everything Manchester School District, in your pocket.
