We will keep you updated on this storm as we receive additional information about its impact on our schools. You will receive updates through mass notification phone calls, emails and texts, as well as through our social media sites on Facebook (ManateeSchoolsGoodNews), Twitter (@Manateeschools) and on our district website at https://www.manateeschools.net.
