Welcome
The Mannington School offers the best in public education. The staff is highly qualified and goes above and beyond to serve the students and community. The students are supported by you, caring parents that understand the value of an education. The resources and experiences provided at the Mannington School are ever growing and developing to help the students remain competitive and ensure they received a top notch education that affords them many future opportunities. Many beliefs and routines about education are established during the elementary years and it is our collaborative responsibility to lay a strong educational foundation that will allow the students of Mannington to experience lifelong success built on the basics established during these years.
The first schools in the United States were established in the early
colonies in the 17th century. By 1910 thirty states had compulsory
education laws and as a result seventy-two percent of American children
attended school. In 1918 all states required students to attend
elementary school. Education continues to evolve and change to meet the
needs of society and the young people of the future. New standards, new
assessments, new technologies, and new challenges make education an
ever changing practice. Together we will weather the changes and stay
ground in the traditions of education that have managed to prevail over
time.
The Mannington School community is filled with
caring, passionate, and dedicated individuals who expect no less than
the best. There is no doubt that when we all work together we
contribute positively to the lives of the children. When we give the
children our best they reap the best of each of us.
Thank
you for entrusting your students to us and for being a true partner in
education. Please feel free to contact me if you have a question or
concern, and welcome to another school year.
Yours in education,
Ms. Kristin Williams, CSA
