Notifications Regarding High School Semesters and Exams

We have made the decision to extend the first semester until January 24th, with the second semester commencing on January 25th. Although the semester will not end until January 24th, January 19th will still be a half day for students.

Dear Manchester Parents/Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of an important update regarding the academic calendar at Manchester Jr/Sr High School. We have made the decision to extend the first semester until January 24th, with the second semester commencing on January 25th. Although the semester will not end until January 24th, January 19th will still be a half day for students. 

Due to school cancellations, we believe it is in the best interest of our students to have an extended period for the completion of coursework and preparation for exams. By extending the first semester, we can ensure that all students have sufficient time to cover the required curriculum and perform to the best of their abilities.

Regarding the exam schedule for the first semester, individual teachers will inform students about the specific dates and times of their respective exams. This will enable students to plan their study schedules effectively and ensure they are adequately prepared for each examination. We encourage you to communicate with your student’s teachers if you have any questions or concerns regarding the exam schedule.

We believe that this extension will greatly benefit the academic progress of our students and provide them with the necessary time to excel in their studies. We appreciate your understanding and support in this matter.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We value your partnership in your student's education and appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a smooth transition into the second semester.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Principal, Wendy Bridges
