Manlius Families,
The bus stop at the old Manlius Elementary Building will be open again this afternoon. If your child uses the Old Elementary building as a bus stop, please resume the normal schedule and procedures. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
Manlius Families,
There was a fire in the old Manlius Elementary Building today. Thankfully, our local fire departments responded promptly and contained it quickly. However, students cannot utilize the bus stop until further notice. If your child used the Old Elementary building as a bus stop, please drop your child off at the BVHS entrance under the awning at your regular time. Pick-up after school will follow the same procedures. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. Also, thank you to our local fire departments for their excellent work!

We are excited to announce a special request for the Manlius Arboretum. They are currently seeking donations of new lilac seedlings (all colors are welcome, but blue and white are preferred) from staff and community members to enhance the beauty of the arboretum. Lilacs have a short planting season, so we encourage everyone to act quickly and bring their seedlings to Central Office by April 11th. Please note that bus traffic is heavy between 7:30-8:15 am and 2:45-3:15 pm. When dropping off the seedlings at Central Office between 8:15 am and 4:00 pm daily, please place them in a bag with your name for recognition. We appreciate your support in spreading the word and look forward to witnessing the tremendous impact your contributions will have on the Manlius Arboretum.
