Principal's Message

  • Mrs Machin

    Dear Manatee Bay Families, 

    I hope this message finds you well and filled with anticipation for the 2024- 2025 school year! My name is Vanessa Machin, and I am honored to introduce myself as the newly appointed Principal of Manatee Bay Elementary. Whether your child is beginning their educational journey in kindergarten, or finishing their elementary years in Fifth Grade, I look forward to getting to know your child personally.

    My primary goal as a school administrator is to provide a full elementary experience that caters to the individual needs of each student. I believe in the power of personalized education and the impact it can have on a child’s development. Creating a safe and friendly atmosphere where everyone feels like family is essential to fostering a nurturing learning environment. 

    In addition to academic excellence, I am dedicated to offering a wide range of extra -curricular programs and organizing various community events. These opportunities will not only enrich your child’s educational journey, but also help them develop important life skills and a sense of belonging. 

    It is a pleasure to serve as your new Principal and I encourage you to reach out to me at any time. Whether you want to discuss your child’s education or simply want to say hello, I am here to support your child and your family. 

    With great pride, 

    Vanessa Machin
