Elementary Six-Day Cycle
All elementary schools utilize a six-day cycle.  This impacts your child with regard to “specials” (Art, Music, P.E., Library), and is extremely helpful when school is closed for weather, in-service, holidays, etc.  The cycle days resume once the students are back in school, so they will not miss a “special” day.  Your child’s teacher will keep you informed of the upcoming cycle days.

Board Work Sessions: Second Thursday of each month – 7:00 p.m. (Except July and December)
Board Meetings: Third Thursday of each month – 7:00 p.m. (Except July)

Location: School Board Work Sessions and School Board Meetings are held at the District Office unless otherwise noted. The public is invited to attend both the Work Session and the School Board meetings. Meeting agendas may be found on the website, under School Board, the week of the scheduled meeting.

Bus Information
Bus routing information is mailed to every eligible student by mid-August. Students may only ride on their assigned buses and only Manheim Township students are permitted to ride the buses.  A student needs written authorization from the district to ride on any bus except the one to which he or she is assigned.

Students should be at their designated stop ten minutes before the scheduled pick up time. Please be patient the first several days of school as buses generally run behind schedule the first several days. Historically, the schedules fall into place within two weeks and we ask that requests for changes be made in writing after this adjustment period.

The District encourages adult supervision at the bus stop for younger, immature or new riders. The District also recommends a yearly review of safety concerns with your children. Students are expected to follow the same behavior guidelines on the bus as they do in their school. Audio and video recorders are on each bus and any inappropriate behavior may result in the revocation of bus riding privileges. The cooperation of the contractor, drivers, parents, students and administration is critical for the safe and efficient operation of our transportation service.

Please contact Brightbill Transportation with any bus operation concerns at 519-1506. Scheduling and routing concerns should be directed to the transportation coordinator at 560-3092 or transportation@mtwp.net.

When weather conditions develop during the day and the district decides to close schools early, high school and middle school students will be dismissed first, followed by Landis Run students and then elementary students.  Parents of elementary students should have an emergency plan prepared in case of an early dismissal.

We always keep the safety of our students and staff forefront in our decision-making, however sometimes, as we all know, the weather throws us a curve ball.  Please remember to always check our website, mobile app, and social media to receive up-to-date information on closings and delays.

MTSD is active on Facebook and Twitter.  Follow us for student news, school reminders, weather announcements and community events.
