Good Afternoon Manara STEM Families,
This week is the last week of our 3rd 6 week period. Report cards will go home the week of January 3 upon return from winter break. Remind your scholars to continue to try their best all the way up to the winter break, as teachers will be collecting items to finalize the 3rd 6 week report cards this week! Today the first STAAR Interim reports were sent home with scholars in grades 3-8. A note on how to read your child's STAAR Interim Report was included. Please reach out to your scholar's teacher with any questions regarding the interim reports.
Class parties will be held on Friday, December 15. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions you may have regarding party details.
Within the newsletter this week is a link to fill out a Parent Satisfaction Mid-Year Survey. Please take a few minutes to fill it out, as we are always looking for family input in order to create great growth within Manara!
Only 5 more school days until the Winter Break! Have a wonderful weekend!

Good afternoon 3rd through 5th grade families,
Today your scholar worked hard to complete the STAAR Interim Math exam!
I know they will be ready tomorrow for their Reading STAAR Interim. Several scholars came to school today without a charged chromebook, so please make sure they charge their chromebook fully at home tonight, as well as bring a full water bottle and healthy snack from home tomorrow. We look forward to a great second day of interim testing on Wednesday! Enjoy the day!
