Happy Cafe Au Lait day! Come enjoy some coffee in the staff lounge today! Look for the contest in the lounge while you get your coffee too! You are appreciated! Enjoy your Friday!
Good morning, Manara STEM families!
We are so happy to see all scholars back at school today! We definitely missed their smiling faces! We hope your break was restful and full of wonderful family time!
A few friendly reminders: All scholars should be in uniform each day. Our uniform shirt is a navy or gray shirt with the Manara logo on it and the bottoms should be either navy or gray in color (khaki is not permitted). Also, scholars can wear any jacket to school, but if it is not solid gray or navy in color, they will not be permitted to wear it throughout the day inside the classroom (only when going outside). If needing to purchase uniform clothing, please check out the French Toast website (our school code is QS616AR). Continuing this Friday, Jan. 6, we will have our "Free Dress Day" Friday for $1.00.
As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to your scholar's teacher or Mrs. Vinten (avinten@manaraacademy.org). Have a terrific Tuesday!
Happy New Year, Manara Community! We wish you all health and happiness in the new year, and look forward to seeing everyone back for classes tomorrow, Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at 8:00a.m.!
Good morning, families.
This morning from 8:45am until 9:15am our campus was under a "Shelter-In-Place" due to the quickly moving storms and tornado watch within the Arlington area. The staff made sure all scholars were in their designated safety areas during the "Shelter-In-Place". All scholars and staff are safe and have returned to our normal academic class time. I apprecitate the diligence of our staff and appreciate the scholars attention during this time. If you have any questions, please let me know (avinten@manaraacademy.org).
Hot chocolate bar is open for business! Make sure to stop by today & get your chocolate fix! Happy Thursday! #7daystogo!
STEM & IE scholars in grades 3-6 spent a fun day at Kidzania today! Scholars were able to role-play different professions and earn & spend Kidzo currency! Such a great way to kickoff our Field Studies! #MAWAY
Good afternoon, team!
What a fast week last week was! Between STAAR Interim exams and our Cultures Around the World event, I feel like I blinked and the week was over! I appreciate each day the enthusiasm and drive you each bring! Read some of the amazing comments about you all within the newsletter with feedback from stakeholders and families from our Cultures event!
This week will be no less busy! We have the Arabic exam for 7th & 8th graders, STAAR Interim for 5th & 8th graders, and field studies for grades 3 - 8! Please look again within the newsletter for some meeting times with me for certain grade levels/teachers so we can go over specifics for this week.
Monday begins our "Countdown to Winter Break"! See the link in the newsletter about what we are doing each day to celebrate you! I look forward to seeing each of your tomorrow with a little "treat" to celebrate our Red & White day (10 days until break)!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! Let me know if you need anything! See you all tomorrow!

Manara Academy is using VGo robots for the students who can’t physically go to school due to an illness, accident or medical condition.
VGo enables students to:
*Receive the same instruction as their peers
*Move around/between classrooms independently
*Socialize with friends in the hallways and at lunch
*Participate in a full school day with their classmates.
Manara Academy also uses VGo Robots to enhance teaching between campuses for our Emergent Bilingual and students with Dyslexia.
Welcome back, Ms. Salome! We're so thrilled to have you back at Manara as our ELAR Instructional Coach.
