Parents: it is VERY IMPORTANT that your child brings a reusable water bottle to school with them every day. Due to safety measures with our water fountains, our students rely on the ability to refill their water bottles during the day for drinks. Even in the winter months it is important for your child to have a bottle or cup with them every day to be able to have water during the school day.
District 50 Free Meal Friday Signup is now available. Meal pickup includes breakfast, lunch, and snack. Tomorrow is chicken strips! WooHoo! Use the attached link to sign up for meals. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZg3SUK08T74P7R0iLvBKrDtAw8TLhbFvdC1-M6vEfTGF1mg/viewform?usp=pp_url
Manor Students Riding BUS #44 in the AFTERNOON
Parents: NO TIME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE, but we will begin decreasing the amount of on-bus time for riders who usually remain on bus 44 for the entire afternoon route. Starting tomorrow, bus riders who are not dropped @ Hensey School will remain in the Manor Library until bus #44 returns (around 1:50pm---as it usually does). Bus riders will be supervised until loaded on the bus from Manor. This adjustment will enhance our student (and adult) protections for bus riders by reducing rider time on the bus & improving conditions (distancing, etc.) during transit. Thanks for your support of D50 students!
Beverly Manor Families,
The end of October has arrived and the Student of the Month & Class of the Month submissions are in! Congrats to our October classes of the month in our attached picture. Well done!
Congratulations as well to the following students of the month and their success stories!
Madison Lyles: Madison is a very responsible, and hard working student in class. She has a positive attitude and is helpful and caring towards all. In addition, she made Honor Roll during the first nine weeks!
Teagan Perhay: Teagan is hard working and puts great effort into all of her assignments. She is very helpful and caring to all. She made Honor Roll the first nine weeks as well.
Aiden Payne: Aiden is always willing to help a friend or a teacher at any time! He is a great student and is willing to work to get a job done. He is also very positive and happy each day, bringing smiles wherever he goes. He truly is showing the Will of the Wildcat!
Trinity Salter: Trinity is a very hard worker. She takes her time, participates, and does her best work. She is also kind and accepting to those around her.
Nolan Sonderman: Nolan has been working very hard on learning a new instrument for the band and has gone above and beyond expectations with this instrument due to his effort and dedication to learning it!
Aiden Taylor: He is a new student to the district and came in during the school year without knowing anyone. He has actively and successfully made friends with his peers and has gone above and beyond in embodying the "Will of a Wildcat". He is responsible, respectful, and a joy to have in class. Aiden goes out of his way to help all staff and students. When asked to do something he does it right away with no problems. He even tries to guide the other students in the class to get along with everyone to be friends. He consistently finishes his work and asks if he can help other students. He is well behaved and has an excellent rapport with everyone he has encountered. We couldn't be more pleased with his ability to adapt to a new school with new rules.
Sean Ferraro: "Sean is amazing
1. He raises his hand more than any student I know.
2. He is kind and hardworking.
3. He is inquisitive and continues to seek more knowledge.
4. He makes those around him better."
Jacey Hawkins: Jacey is very respectful and polite to everyone that she comes in contact with throughout the day. Jacey is always willing to help her teachers with classroom needs. She helps students at her table who may need assistance. She always wants to improve and do better.
Annisa Eyres: Annisa has taken on auditioning for an extra group outside of school and has excelled at her music through her hard work! She also is a leader in the 8th grade band and a very dependable student!
Brooklyn Bowman: Brooklyn is SO KIND! She is SO HELPFUL! We have had new students this year and she has always introduced herself to them, asks if they need anything and includes everyone she is around. She also supports her classmates in sports and academics and encourages them to participate. When it comes to academics, she excels and focuses on succeeding in all subjects. How many books has she read already this year; 4, 5 or 6? When she isn't reading, she is busy with sports! She is an all-around excellent student and friend! :)
Congrats to these students. They will each receive a prize next week and have a photo posted to this thread.
We are excited for our next group in November. Keep working hard Wildcats!
Starting Monday November 2nd, District 50 will be offering all students a FREE after school snack. Snacks will be distributed daily in their homerooms. Attached is the snack menu for the month of November. It will also be available on the District 50 website. On the menu is also an enrichment activity we encourage students to complete daily. Remote learners will be able to receive a snack when they pick up their meals. We are excited to be able to offer this new service.
It looks like it will be a BOO-tiful night for the drive-thru Boo Bash!

We can't wait for round two of these fantastic costumes!

Just a reminder that the Hensey Trunk or Treat event is tonight from 5:30-7:00 pm. This is a drive thru event and we are asking that everyone remain in their vehicles as they drive through to collect their goodies. Please turn right into the east Parking lot and proceed down the lot, you will then turn left on to the blacktop behind the school, and then proceed down the blacktop and take another left to come through the west Parking lot. At the exit please take a right onto Almond Drive to avoid traffic congestion. We look forward to seeing everyone tonight and please be patient as the line may move slowly.
