An Open Letter to Our Menta Families: Looking Ahead to the 2025–2026 School Year

From the Menta Education Group Board

Dear Menta Families,

As we prepare to begin the 2025–2026 school year, we want to take a moment to connect with you—our valued partners—and share our deep sense of purpose, excitement, and commitment to the journey ahead.

At The Menta Education Group, our mission remains steadfast: to provide innovative, student-centered educational services that support the growth, potential, and dignity of every learner. Grounded in our core values—respect, equity, inclusion, and resilience—we continue to believe that every student deserves a learning environment where they are understood, supported, and empowered to thrive.

This Year’s Focus: “Rooted in community. Growing through challenges. Thriving together.”

As we welcome both returning and new students, our theme for the year is “Rooted in community. Growing through challenges. Thriving together.” This reflects our continued emphasis on whole-child development academically, socially, and emotionally. You’ll see this in our expanded efforts around inclusive programming, trauma-informed practices, and individualized supports.

We are also proud to deepen our growth in family-school partnerships. This year, we are launching a new series of family engagement events, expanding access to resources and enhancing our communication tools to ensure you’re always connected to your child’s progress and experience.

What’s New for 2025–2026

Some key updates to look forward to this year:

• Enhanced Student Support Services: Continued growth in our mental health and wellness programming, including on-site counseling and expanded SEL curriculum.
• Career and Transition Readiness: Increased focus on vocational and post-secondary planning, with stronger community partnerships and work-based learning opportunities.
• Digital Tools for Learning: Updated classroom technology and learning platforms that will help students build 21st-century skills.
• Professional Development for Staff: Continued training for educators in best practices for inclusive and differentiated instruction, ensuring your student receives the highest quality education.

We Can’t Do This Without You

Every milestone your child reaches is made possible through a shared commitment—from educators, families, and community partners. Your involvement, advocacy, and trust fuel our collective success. Please know how deeply we value your voice and presence in our learning community.

As we step into this new school year, know that our focus remains on what matters most: your child’s well-being, growth, and future. Thank you for choosing Menta and for allowing us to walk this journey alongside you.

Together, we are building brighter futures—one student at a time.

With appreciation and resolve,

The Menta Education Group Board of Directors
