EARLY DISMISSAL:
Early dismissal notes must be turned into the Attendance Office before 7:40 am (p. 6 of Student Handbook). We will not be accepting email early dismissals after this time. If a student gets sick during the school day, we will evaluate on a case by case basis. If an appointment is scheduled after 7:40 am, the student will need to be physically signed out. Please plan accordingly.


SENIOR GRADUATION:
As of now, graduation is set for Saturday, June 8th at 4:00 at Freedom Hall


WEEKEND SCHOOL EVENTS/SENIOR PROM:
In order to attend an after school event, students must be in attendance at least 3 hours of that instructional day. If the school event is on a Saturday (i.e. Senior Prom), that student must be in attendance on Friday (p. 7 of Student Handbook). Any early dismissals on that day must be for a reason as stated in the handbook or the early dismissal will be considered unexcused and students may not be allowed to makeup work for the missed time (p. 7 of Student Handbook). If you are scheduling appointments related to prom (i.e. hair, nails, fittings) please do so after school hours or the day of prom.


RAMDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS:
Manual parents, as you know, exam week(s) can be stressful times for students. In order to help alleviate some of that stress, the RAMdom Acts of Kindness Club offers the opportunity to purchase care packages for students. The order form can be accessed from the link below. Please mail the form along with payment to Manual or drop them off in the main office with attention to Thayne Bruszewski. Thank you to the kind parents who have offered to purchase packages for other students who may be having a difficult time -- we were able to give away over 30 boxes to students in need in December. If you would like to do this, please indicate so on the order form. These packages will be given anonymously to students who are struggling in some way with a note to let them know someone is thinking of them. This year's care packages will contain food; while we will take care to avoid common allergens, please fill out the appropriate line if there are any food items your student should not have. Please direct any questions to thayne.bruszewski@jefferson.kyschools.us. Forms for AP week are due no later than 5/1; forms for finals week are due no later than 5/13. If you preordered in December, we have your order on file for May.

FYI for parents: The following message was communicated by Mr. Farmer to teachers and staff and a PA message was given to the students on Friday:

I know that these are very stressful times in Kentucky education. I also want you to know I completely understand the stance teachers are taking as it seems as though there is an assault on public education. Amongst all the events and interruptions of school, it is important to remember that students and their success is what we ultimately stand for. When school returns tomorrow or next week, I want to reiterate that I believe in you and that you are a part of the noblest profession. I am proud to work for you.

In this same breath, we must remember that these past two weeks have also been tough on our students. One of the more important things students need is consistency. Consistency in routines, consistency in reinforcement and recognition. But perhaps nothing more important than consistency in instruction. With the recent breaks, I ask for you to be very clear with what you want and flexible with any new or updated expectations as we move forward. We are approaching a very stressful time for students. Testing season is here. ACT will happen Tuesday. Be mindful as you catch up with the loss and consistency of your instruction. Students will need you to be understanding as they prepare for this very important assessment. I know you are the professional and will act accordingly and appropriately.

Thanks for all you do.
We are Manual Strong

Darryl W. Farmer, Principal

If you haven't yet purchased tickets to the Crimson Mission 2019 Growing the Mission Gala, please do so today. The Gala is this Saturday, March 9th. Please use the link below to purchase:
Mission Gala Ticket Link

The money raised at the Gala this year will help pay for infrastructure for the Crimson Mission and will help build a Development Office. Your contributions will further enable the Crimson Mission to meet the needs of Manual students in all magnets.

Just as the Crimson Mission has done by helping create the Manual Achievement Center. And by helping the Manual Athletic Department build a new fieldhouse (coming soon). And by creating the new, 21st century Honeycomb technology lab (coming on-line before the end of this school year).

And you'll also have the opportunity to get some very cool items, such as:
A bottle of Pappy Van Winkle
A suite at the YUM Center for a Cards game
A parking spot in the Manual Courtyard


Parents: Please consider helping The Crimson Mission (non-profit 501(c) organization) help Manual. The Crimson Mission needs auction items for this year’s annual March gala event. Some donation ideas are gift cards (restaurant services, shopping, airline, Uber and gas cards); adult beverages (craft beer, wine and bourbon) and entertainment events (Derby tickets, concerts, plays, sports, museum visits, glass blowing and paint & sip.) All proceeds from the auction will be used to benefit Manual, via the Crimson Mission. For auction donation communication, please contact Kelly Hanson at tkhanson1998@gmail.com. Thank you for your support!


We will be continuing the great tradition of The Graduation Keynote Address Competition that was kicked off in 2014 by the first winner, Christopher Bird. All students interested in being the voice of the class of 2019 are encouraged to audition. We are looking for creativity, character, and charisma.

Here are some of the details:
Speeches must remain within a 5-minute timeframe.
Feel free to be creative and think of this as a spoken word poem or performance. (Can you be innovative and devise a spoken
word for two voices? Yes, that means you may have a partner.)
An electronic copy of the speech must be emailed to Ms. Williams by March 8th or the student will be disqualified.
Seniors must email Ms. Williams, from February 25 to March 7, to schedule a specific audition time.
All auditions will occur on March 12th while the juniors take the ACT and seniors have a potential day of service.

Anyone interested should come pick up an information packet in room 352 before school, after school, or during Red 1. Be sure to leave your name and an email address with Ms. Williams so she can contact you in the future.

Some donation ideas are gift cards (restaurant services, shopping, airline, Uber and gas cards); adult beverages (craft beer, wine and bourbon) and entertainment events (Derby tickets, concerts, plays, sports, museum visits, glass blowing and paint & sip.) All proceeds from the auction will be used to benefit Manual, via the Crimson Mission. For auction donation communication, please contact Kelly Hanson at tkhanson1998@gmail.com. Thank you for your support!

Please mark your calendars for Manual’s annual Conference on College Admissions (students refer to it as College 101 or College Con) which will be held this year on March 13th. The PTSA and Guidance Office partner together on this night to bring experts to our school so that students may have access to professionals in the field of college admissions. So that students may have the opportunity to hear about multiple topics, each presenter will give information at 3 consecutive sessions which last 45 minutes each. We also encourage all students in grades 9, 10 and 11 attend with their parents. Food will be for sale at the event with proceeds benefiting Project Graduation. A more detailed program will be available soon. Attendees should expect the evening to run from 5PM – 8PM.
