Good afternoon, STEM families! Testing time is quickly approaching. Please read some great tips within the newsletter as to how you can begin preparing at home, as each teacher has been teaching scholars test-taking strategies on how to prepare for testing at school. We appreciate the strong partnership from home to school, as this is of great benefit to each scholar! Thank you for getting your scholar to school by 8:00am. A lot of important learning and reviewing occurs within the day, especially at the start of each school day. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! For those of you celebrating the holiday weekend, Happy Easter! #MAWAY! Principal Vinten https://sites.google.com/manaraacademy.org/stemconnect-families/newsletter/april-10-2023
