Driving Directions

 

It is the policy of the Manistee Area Public Schools to provide an equal opportunity for all students to learn through the curriculum offered in this district

In Manistee Area Public Schools we want all students to become:

  • Responsible citizens who are ethical, productive members of a global society; take responsibility for their own actions and physical well-being; are environmentally conscious; and contribute their time; energies, and talents for the improvement of their community and the quality of life for all.
  • Effective communicators who posses skills in written, visual, and spoken skills.
  • Self-confident individuals who demonstrate a positive self-image and are caring, sensitive and flexible human beings. Life long learners understand that learning is a process, not an event.

20-20 Reading Program

October through April 20-20 Reading Program: Jefferson Elementary is offering an "at home" supplemental reading program called "20-20." We ask each student to read at home for 20 minutes a day, 20 different days each month throughout the school year. Everyday, your son/daughter will read to a parent, sister/brother, grandma/grandpa, etc. for 20 minutes, or if you would prefer, someone may read to your child for 20 minutes. How you want to do it is up to you, as long as your child is exposed to 20 minutes of literature a night, for 20 days a month throughout the school year. What you read is up to your child and you. You may choose from children’s books, poetry, magazines, newspapers, etc. The topics of reading do not matter, just as long as he/she is reading or being read to aloud for 20 minutes a day.
