Hello Monroe families, 

I want to start by saying THANK YOU for your incredible care and support of our staff! The coffee and pastry cart this morning was such a thoughtful treat and truly blessed our staff. It was a great reminder of what makes the Monroe Community so special. We are incredibly grateful for the partnership, encouragement, and care you continue to show our staff and students.

As we head into the final stretch of the quarter, next week is a great opportunity for students to finish strong and get caught up. We encourage students to check Canvas, connect with their teachers, and take advantage of FLEX and other support opportunities to complete any final missing assignments. A few extra minutes at home checking grades and talking with your student about what they need to finish can make a big difference.

Most importantly, let's continue to SHOW UP. WORK HARD. BE KIND. as we close out the quarter together.

Thank you again for being such an amazing part of our Monroe Community- we appreciate you!

Have a great weekend, GO Mustangs, Ducks, and Irish!
