Monroe Fri-YAY Family Email!

Hello Monroe Families-

We have had a great first full week of school! Our students are settling in well and doing a good job adjusting to their new routines. It’s wonderful to see their excitement about their classes and teachers. We ended the week with a Kahoot trivia in Connect class and it was fun to see students answering questions about our MODEL Mustang school-wide expectations! Speaking of expectations, the new cell phone policy has been extremely positive overall, allowing our students to engage more effectively with each other and with staff in face-to-face interactions. 

Thank you for making our Open House event such a success! It was exciting to see families engaged and enthusiastic about meeting our dedicated teachers. Your support is invaluable as we create a vibrant learning environment for our students. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead!

A few key reminders and things to consider as we move forward:

Picture Day: Get ready for picture day on Thursday, September 19th. Order pictures on LifeTouch.com with ID code EVT94NK3V.

Cell Phone Policy: students have been doing a wonderful job so far! It’s amazing how they can adapt and meet our reasonable expectations as we “Raise the Bar.” Reminder of our process and policy below that we will start implementing next week:

• First Incident: The student will be given a warning and asked to turn off the device and put it away in their locker.

• Second Incident: A Minor Referral will be written. Families will receive an email notifying of the 2nd incident.  Administration will follow up with appropriate consequences 

  • Examples: Lunch Detention, Community Service, etc. 

• Third Incident: A Major Referral may be written. Administration will follow up with appropriate consequences AND the student may lose privileges- examples below:

  • Students may have to turn in their phone to the office daily. 

  • Students may lose the privilege of having the phone at school. 

*Length of time determined by administration
