Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our students, staff, and families, and in consultation with the LA Department of Health, Mansfield Elementary and Middle School will shift to virtual-only instruction beginning tomorrow, Thursday, October 22, and return to face-to-face learning on Tuesday, October 27. We have recently noticed an increase in the number of students exhibiting flu-like symptoms and want to take every precaution possible to ensure the safety and health of our students, staff, and families. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Today we start the 2nd 9 Weeks of the 2020-2021 School Year! We know this year has presented many changes and new challenges for students, parents, and teachers a like. However, our Wolverines are rising to the occasion! Keep up the good work!
Fall Break is here! Schools will be closed Monday, October 5th to Friday, October 9th. Students will return for the 2nd 9 Weeks on Monday, October 12th.
Have a safe and restful Fall Break!
MMS will be closed on Monday, September 7th, in observance of Labor Day.
REMINDER: There will be no face-to-face instruction for students Thursday or Friday. Students will participate in remote learning only. Due to the likelihood of power outages in the area during the storm, no “new” learning will be introduced. Students should use this time to catch up on missing assignments and study for upcoming tests. Stay safe! #DeSotoStrong
