August 14th, 2025
Dear Students and Families,
Welcome back to a brand new school year at Manara Academy! My name is Jennifer Masten and I am the campus principal, Mrs. Turner is our assistant principal. We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable summer, filled with rest, adventure, and time with loved ones. As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, we are thrilled to have our classrooms come alive again with the energy, laughter, and enthusiasm of our students.
This year brings exciting new opportunities for learning, growth, and connection. Our dedicated staff has been working hard over the summer to prepare engaging lessons, refreshing classroom spaces, and ensuring that each student feels supported and inspired. Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, we are committed to making this school year a meaningful and successful experience for every student.
Here are a few important things to know as we begin the year:
Doors open at 7:30, please drop off your child in the back of the school so they can eat breakfast.
School Hours: 8:00-3:30, students are tardy after 8:00 am, we will start counting tardies on Monday, August 18th. If your child is tardy you will need to park in the front and sign them in.
Students should be in full uniform: https://www.manaraacademy.org/page/uniforms

We believe in strong partnerships between school and home, and we encourage open communication throughout the year. Together, we can create a positive and nurturing environment where every child thrives.
We can’t wait to see you and kick off a fantastic year!
Warm regards,
Jennifer Masten
