🎉 The Countdown Is On, Manatee Families! 🌊
We've had lots of families asking, "When will we find out who our child's teacher is?" Great news... the wait is almost over!
📞 The moment you've been waiting for is almost here! Our teachers return on July 30 and will begin personally calling families on July 30 and 31 to introduce themselves, welcome your child to their classroom, and follow up with a welcome email.
While you're waiting, make plans to join us for our first-ever Manatee Family Kick Off Night! This is one of our biggest new events of the year, and we can't wait to welcome our families back to campus.
✨ Here's what you can look forward to:
🎁 A special welcome gift for every family
🎟️ Exciting raffles and giveaways
🛝 Outdoor games, activities, and fun for students while parents attend our featured session
🍕 Delicious dinner from some of our favorite local food trucks:
❄️ Sunshine Snowcones
🍦 Swirl
🌭 The Saussie Pig
☕ Southern Salt Coffee
🍕 Grammy's Italian Catering Pizza
🙌 Earn 2 volunteer hours just for attending!
During our interactive parent session, you'll get an exclusive first look at the exciting year ahead, hear what's new at ISV, meet your school leaders, and discover how we're working together to make this our strongest year yet. You'll leave informed, inspired, and ready to partner with us for an incredible school year.
⏰ Please arrive 5–10 minutes before the start of your assigned session so you have plenty of time to check in and get your child settled in the courtyard with our outdoor games and activities before heading to the parent presentation. Our presentation will begin promptly at the start of your scheduled time, and we don't want you to miss a moment! Be sure to check your family's assigned session by last name. Staggering arrival times is essential to help us ensure smooth traffic flow, parking, and the best experience for all of our Manatee families.
🍽️ After the presentation, the fun continues! Stay and enjoy dinner from one of our amazing food trucks, grab a sweet treat, stop by the PTA table to pick up some fun ISV swag, and enter our exciting raffles before you head home!
