The mission of Manara Academy is to provide students with a creative, adaptive and ethical environment to become knowledgeable inquirers and future leaders in a diverse and evolving global society where we master languages, honor cultural heritages, and respect diversity.
Our campus is closed from March 13-17. We will resume classes on Monday, March 20. We look forward to seeing all of our scholars on campus by 8:00am.
Paper is a program our district has purchased to help assist scholars in their academic progression within grades 4-8. Click on this link to learn more about Paper and how it can assist your scholar in their nightly homework. Scholars will be utilizing this daily within their classroom as well. Teachers and the adminstrator is also able to view the scholar/tutor interaction and dialogue so that we can support at school also. Please reach out to your scholar's teacher if you have any questions regarding Paper! All scholars in grades 4-8 should be using the Paper app on Clever at home with homework support.
Congratulations to the following students for having the most hours/usage on Paper for the month of February:
Safia Zinabidine - 4th grade
Hussan Naif - 5th grade
Saforah Elham - 6th grade
Manar Alkhlefa - 7th grade
Mikael Kuminga - 8th grade
Great job, scholars!
Manara Academy has entered into a PAPER Missions Contest! 2 days remain in the contest!
The Rules are SIMPLE.
1. Between Monday, February 27th and Sunday, March 12th (right before Spring Break) scholars in grades 4-12 can complete as many Paper Math Missions as possible.
The scholars completing the most Paper Missions between Monday and the 12th of March will win a bunch of Paper SWAG. (Maybe a little something extra from the superintendent if any of our Manara Students are declared Paper Math Mission Champs!)
Reach out to your scholar's teacher for further information!
