Good Morning Manara Families,

I hope this message finds you well and in good health. I am writing to inform you that we have a few reports of illness upon our return from break. Unfortunately, there has been an increase in the number of individuals testing positive for the Covid virus.

It is essential to prioritize the health and safety of our school community, and we want to keep you informed about any changes that may impact our daily operations and of course, primarily you and your health. It is optional, but students are allowed to mask if they should begin to feel symptomatic and are unsure if they're becoming ill or optionally mask as a form of prevention. Hand washing, hand sanitizing, masking, social distancing and staying home when ill continue to be our best forms of prevention with the spread of any illnesses during the months where illnesses are more prevalent.

As a precautionary step, we urge you to remain vigilant and adhere to recommended health guidelines. Please encourage your children to practice hand washing, and covering mouths when sneezing or coughing. Additionally, we ask that you monitor your child and family members who may exhibit symptoms or express concerns related to COVID-19.

If you haven't ordered your free at home Covid Test kits you may do so here:

If you don't have test kits available to you, you can search by zipcode of places that offer Covid Testing at no cost to you here:

Free COVID Testing Centers by ZipCode Search

We understand that this is a challenging time, and we appreciate your ongoing dedication to the well-being of our students and staff. If you or your child does become ill, follow the advice of your health care professional. The current recommendation is as follows:

If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home for at least 5 days and isolate yourself from others in your home.

You are likely most infectious during these first 5 days.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment. Take care everyone!

We had fun today with our students experiancing the culture's of their peers. Thank you so much for an amazing first semester. We look forward to seeing you in the January.
