11/13 Fri - YAY!
Happy Friday, Monroe Community!
Thank you for another great week and for your continued support of our Monroe community! It was so great to see so many parents and families at today's assembly, cheering on and celebrating our Students of the Month. Those moments of recognition are special, and having families there to share in those celebrations makes them even better. And, of course, we can't forget our annual Student vs. Staff Volleyball Game where the staff got the victory!
As we get rolling into a new quarter, it's a great opportunity for students to reset, refocus, and start fresh. Whether it's setting a new academic goal, improving attendance, getting caught up on assignments, or building stronger routines, we want every student to feel like they have an opportunity to grow and finish the semester strong.
Families can also expect a Quarter 2 Family Report coming home in the next couple of weeks. This report will include your student's attendance percentage and their STAR academic assessment results in both Language Arts and Math. This is a great opportunity to sit down with your student, celebrate areas of growth, ask questions, and identify areas where additional support might be helpful.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to your student's teachers or our school team if you have questions or need support. We are here to partner with you and help your students be successful!
We are grateful for the energy, encouragement, and partnership you bring to Monroe each week. Thank you for helping make our school a place where students feel supported, celebrated, and connected.
Have a wonderful weekend, Mustangs!

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