The Manchester Township School District encourages parental involvement in our schools. There are many ways for parents to become involved, including:

Back-to-School Night

This is an opportunity to meet your child's teachers, get a sense of what their typical day is like, and find out about homework and discipline policies. Held at every school in September and early October, parents are strongly encouraged to attend. Check your school calendar for schedules.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Anytime you have a concern, parents may schedule a telephone or in-person conference with your child’s teacher by calling the school office to set up an appointment. In the fall (and spring at the HS), your school will schedule a week of parent-teacher conferences during the afternoon and evenings, so that all parents have the opportunity to meet with their child's teacher on a one-on-one basis at least once during the year. Check your school calendar for schedules.

Manchester Township PTA

The Manchester Township PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) is a volunteer organization of parents, teachers, school staff, and other interested community members that works for the benefit of all six schools in the Manchester Township School District. The PTA works to enrich our students educational experience by promoting parental involvement and increased home and school communication, providing scholarships and awards, keeping parents informed on educational and child-related issues, and providing educational assembly programs to our students. General meetings are held four times a year (see the district calendar for dates).

For more information on the Manchester Township PTA, pick up a membership brochure at any of our schools. You can also drop a note to the PTA by sending it into school with your child in an envelope marked "ATT: PTA" - or visit the Manchester Twp. PTA web site at www.ManchesterPTA.org.
