Dear MPES Families,
We are excited to welcome our Cougar families back for another incredible school year! As we prepare for students to return, one of the most important steps you can take is to complete the Returning Student Registration process by logging into your PowerSchool Parent Portal account. Having accurate and up-to-date information is essential as we prepare for the new school year. Please note that teacher assignments will not be released until your child's returning student registration has been completed. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact our main office. You can also refer to the step-by-step registration guide linked on our website or join us for one of our in-person support sessions at City Hall on July 31 (5:00–8:00 p.m.), August 6 (3:00–6:00 p.m.), or August 10 (4:00–7:00 p.m.), where staff will be available to help you complete the process. Please complete the process prior to our Open House event on Thursday 8/13/2026 from 3:00-6:00pm.
We can't wait to welcome our students back and begin another year of learning, growth, and engaging experiences. This year's theme, "One Team, One Dream, One Moment," reminds us that every day brings new opportunities to work together, support one another, and create meaningful experiences for our students. Thank you for partnering with us as we prepare for an amazing school year—we look forward to seeing everyone soon!
Felicia Drake, Proud Principal of Manassas Elementary School
