New attendance notification begin April 9

By
Dear Manchester School District families,

Our district attendance procedures will change beginning on Monday, April 9.  We know you understand and believe in the importance of school attendance. Our schools are committed to accurately monitoring and reporting attendance information. We also want to communicate more efficiently with parents and guardians about their children’s attendance.

Beginning on Monday, April 9, if your child is absent from school or tardy to school you will receive a phone call and/or email notification through our SchoolMessenger system at 11:05 a.m. each day. The attendance message will go to the phone number and/or email address we have on file for your child(ren). If you wish to update your contact information, please notify your child(ren)'s school(s).

We want to ensure you will not be surprised by this process and will understand the purpose of the notification. We thank you for your support in advance of this new effort.  

Sincerely,
Dr. Bolgen Vargas
Superintendent of Schools

The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area.

Speakers are asked to give a hands-on or interactive presentation to the classes they meet. West is offering full-day and half-day sessions for interested professionals. Lunch will be provided in all sessions. Full day. 7:15 am - 3:00 pm Morning only, 7:l5 am - 11:30 am Afternoon only, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Members of the com...
