Monroe Families,
Thank you for a fantastic first week back from Spring Break! There’s been a noticeable buzz of positive energy in the building—from both students and staff. It’s been awesome to walk through classrooms this week and see so many high-leverage, engaging learning experiences happening.
From students building wind turbines, measuring heart rate with laps around the courtyard, collaborating in Math, diving deep in Social Studies, and leading impactful projects in Leadership—there is so much to celebrate!
Looking ahead, next week kicks off a very busy time with activities, field trips, and the final week of the quarter. Please encourage your student to check in with teachers, get any missing work turned in, and finish the quarter strong. We've got this!
As always, thank you for your support and partnership.
Go Mustangs!
