Special Announcements:

PROPOSED Teacher Advising Plan - The Manual SBDM council is studying the possibility of creating a teacher advising program at Manual to ensure that students receive ongoing and focused guidance about how to prepare for post-secondary education.  A preliminary, draft proposal was shared at the May 2012 SBDM council meeting. This proposal is now posted to the SBDM page of the PTSA website for viewing by parents http://www.dupontmanual.com/ptsa/SBDM.php.   Accompanying the proposal is a guide from the National Association for College Admission Counseling, which was a source document for the draft proposal. Parents who wish to give feedback on the proposal draft should send their comments to parent council members Tim DeLong (TIM_D...@B-F.COM), Margaret D'Silva (dsil...@gmail.com), or Patty Kannapel (pkan...@bellsouth.net).
