Good afternoon Manara STEM Families, What a great first week of school last week! Please help me welcome a few new staff members for this school year! Ms. Ensaf is teaching Pre-K 3, Mr. Cravey is teaching 4th & 5th grade Math & Science, and Coach Smith is teaching PE. Within the newsletter is their contact information, as well as all our staff contact information. We are happy to welcome the new faces to our fantastic team! Tomorrow morning from 8:15am until 9:15am there will be a "Visit with Vinten" time at the school. During this time you can come to learn more about plans for this school year, ask questions you may have, and share in some fellowship time with other parents and get to know our STEM community! It will be an informal meeting to visit with each other. I look forward to seeing all who are able to attend during this time! If you cannot attend, another Visit with Vinten meeting time will be set up in October. My door is always open, and I appreciate the open lines of communication! I'm looking forward to seeing all our scholars by 8:00am to kick off our second week of school! #MAWAY!

Good afternoon, Manara STEM families! This is a friendly reminder that each Friday we dismiss at 1:00pm, so we look forward to seeing you promptly at 1:00pm tomorrow! Each Friday is professional learning time for our teachers, so we appreciate your help in picking up your scholar(s) on time! Also, we will not begin dress down Friday days until Friday, September 1. As a reminder, all scholars should be in solid navy or solid gray polo shirts with the Manara logo, and if you are waiting for your ordered shirt to arrive, please send your child in a solid navy or solid gray shirt. Jeans are not permitted until we have a dress down Friday. We appreciate your help in keeping our scholars in uniform! Please reach out if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing your scholar by 8:00am tomorrow morning! #MAWAY! Principal Vinten

Good afternoon, STEM families! What a wonderful first day of the 2023-2024 school year! Seeing all the excitement on each scholars face, each teachers face, and the hum of the activity throughout the building was a joy to witness today! Thank you for your patience in carline this afternoon! It will continue to go smoothly as the weeks progress. As a reminder, carline begins in the morning at 7:35am and will go until 8:00am. A scholar will be counted as tardy if they arrive after 8:00am, so it is extremely important to get to school on time to create great habits! I'm so very proud to be a part of the STEM community! I look forward to seeing each of you tomorrow morning by 8:00am! Have a great evening! #MAWAY Principal Vinten
