Summary
Missus Pedrosia told the board that two snow days have pushed the last day of school to Friday, June 19; she also announced Read Across America (Feb. 27), Kinder Prep (03/03/2026 at Ridgeway School, 6 p.m.), and recognized student service via Key Club's Code Blue drive and student achievements.
Missus Pedrosia presented a community update and a proposed change to the district calendar after two snow days.
"It is now Friday, June 19," Missus Pedrosia said, announcing the adjustment to the school year calendar; she added that any additional snow days would require board discussion and could prompt further calendar changes. She said the revised calendar would be shared with the community the following day and that "Mr. Roberts will put it on our website once it is board approved."
She also highlighted upcoming events: Read Across America in the district on Friday, Feb. 27, and Kinder Prep on March 3, 2026, to be hosted at Ridgeway School at 6:00 p.m.
The board paused to recognize students: classroom leadership and teamwork were celebrated, a middle‑school seventh grader was singled out for responsibility, and Key Club members were commended for coordinating a district‑wide Code Blue operation to gather large items for people in need. The superintendent noted the efforts extended beyond Manchester and thanked students for their volunteerism. An athlete, Alex, was also recognized for winning the NJSIAA Group 2 high‑jump title.
The board will post the approved calendar online and continue to monitor possible additional weather‑related closures.
