Back to School Night

Updated 6 hours 37 min ago

Please join us on Tuesday, September 26, from 6-8 pm, for Monroe's Back to School Night. The main portion of the event will begin at 6:00 pm in the Event Center.  There will also be a Smoked BBQ Chicken Dinner Fundraiser for 8th East Coast Trip available from 4:00- 5:45 pm.

Back to School Night will follow an open house-like format; your Monroe student will lead you to his/her classrooms at the pace that works for you. This is a chance for you to meet your child's teachers and learn a bit about the class and what your child will be learning during the year. This is not a time for specific conversations with your child's teachers about your child's progress; Parent-Teacher conferences are scheduled Oct. 30 - Nov. 3, and you can also contact a teacher for a conference at any time.

We will have child-care available in the cafeteria for younger school-age children.

We hope to see you there!

We need your help for the Tailgate Party!

Updated Mon, Sep 18th

Our first  planning meeting for the Tailgate Party is Wednesday, Sept 20th at 6:00 p.m. in the Monroe staff lounge.  

The Monroe Tailgate Party is on Friday, Oct 27, from 5:30 pm - 8:30 p.m. It will be an evening filled with fun, games, DJ music, a silent auction and so much more.  The Tailgate Party is one of the biggest fundraisers and community events of the year for Monroe. Proceeds go toward many programs at Monroe for our students (sports, music, field trips, library, science camp etc.).

This event is almost 1 month away, and we need parent helpers to help plan and organize the event. We have done this event for several years and have most of the planning process in place; we just need helpers to get tasks done. Most tasks will require just a few hours of your time and can be done with a small team of 2-3 parents to share the workload and accommodate your busy schedules.

Some of the areas where we need help are:

  • Games: 2-3 people
  • Volunteer management: 2-3 people
  • Food: 3 people
  • Popcorn/cotton candy/bake sale – 1 person each
  • After school ticket sales/event ticket sales (coordinated with Treasurer): 2-3 people
  • Staging/Set up: 2-3 people
  • Publicity: 2 people
  • Kids' raffle: 2 people
  • Crafts/activities (face paint/henna, etc)

Again, our first  planning meeting for the Tailgate Party is Wednesday, Sept 20th at 6:00 p.m. in the Monroe staff lounge.  Please come if you interested in helping or want to find out more about the Tailgate Party.

*If you are unable to make the meeting and still want to help, or if you have any questions,  please email mmstailgateparty [at] gmail.com

Dinner and Books!

Updated Mon, Sep 18th

There will be a Smoked Barbeque Chicken dinner available for our families prior to Back To School Night on September 26, starting at 4 pm that day. Order forms for dinners are going home today; it is $6 per dinner or $20 for a family of four. Dinner includes Chicken, Salad, and Garlic Bread.  Drinks and Desserts will be on sale separately.

After dinner, check out the books in the Scholastic Book Fair in the library.  Proceeds benefit classrooms at Monroe. 

Please return your forms to the office as soon as possible.  If you have any questions, please contact Miz Fran at fchambers [at] campbellusd.org.

Bound for Success - 2017 Rising Young Authors

Updated 4 hours 1 min ago

Join the Campbell Union School District community in celebrating 12 talented student authors at the District’s 15th Annual Rising Young Authors awards, October 18, 2017, at 7 p.m., at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore on Stevens Creek Blvd., in San Jose.

The Rising Young Authors are a select group of students whose short stories, essays, research papers and poems were among hundreds entered in the District’s annual Writing Faire last May. After the Writing Faire, judges review eligible entries to select one Author of the Year per school to receive the Rising Young Author award in the fall.

The student authors will speak to the audience about their award-winning books and, later, they will autograph copies for fans who bring copies with them to the event. 

We have three students from Monroe who will be honored for their work:

Supporting ALL Students’ Education and Well Being

Updated Tue, Sep 5th

A Message from the Superintendent

With news about changes in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), we want to remind our families that Campbell Union School District is committed to welcoming and supporting all students and their families, regardless of their immigration status.

Last spring, our Governing Board adopted a Resolution Reaffirming Support of Immigrant Students and Families, which reaffirms that support and provides guidance about how to provide it within legal parameters. The full text of the resolution is available online at campbellusd.org/policy, or in print from the District Administration, 408-341-7254 or ask_us [at] campbellusd.org.

Site Council Parent Reps Wanted

Updated Mon, Sep 18th

We are currently seeking parent representatives for our Site Council.  The School Site Council is an elected body of staff and parents who oversee the school goals and related budgets.  We typically meet the third Wednesday of the month at 5:00 pm for roughly an hour.  If you are interested, please contact the principal, Dawnel Sonntag, at dsonntag [at] campbellusd.org.

Student Safety During Pick-up/Drop-off

Updated Mon, Aug 28th

Please do not drop off or pick up your student in the middle of the street or parking lot.  It cause a very dangerous situation that can lead to accidents and injuries.  

Also, please observe traffic rules and speed limits in our neighborhood; we want all of our students, parents, staff, and neighbors to be safe.

Lunch Time

Updated Mon, Aug 28th

This year, Monroe has separate lunches every day except Wednesday.  This means that half of the school is in class while the other half is at lunch.  Because of this, we will not be making announcements during lunchtime.  If you need to pick up your child for an appointment during his/her lunch time, please make sure that you communicate with him/her ahead of time so s/he knows to come to the office.  If you need to drop off your child's lunch, please do so during 1-3 periods or let your child know to come to the office at the beginning of lunch.

An inclusive, caring environment for students

Updated Wed, Aug 30th

A Message from Superintendent Shelly Viramontez

The recent events in Charlottesville and other divisive and hate-filled exchanges remind us of the importance of creating an inclusive and caring environment for our students, families and the surrounding community.

Building positive relationships is a key value for us in Campbell Union School District. In fact, preparing our students for successful futures requires that we teach them to be inclusive and to create positive relationships despite perceived differences.

We demonstrate that value through our commitment to inclusion, our intolerance of harassment and bullying of any kind, and our efforts to maintain positive learning environments for everyone in our schools.

In this way, we create:

  • Better decisions through inclusiveness. We encourage inclusiveness in our decision-making, and benefit from the diverse perspectives of our many advisory committee members;
  • Greater tolerance and respect for each other. Our employees and students represent diverse ethnicities, languages, and cultures, which we acknowledge as we celebrate what we have in common.
  • Effective and enduring education for students. The collaboration between our special education and general education staff as they help children gain the skills they will need for success in their lives beyond school.

Celebrating and respecting our diversity is essential to our charge of developing in our young students the empathy, compassion and other skills and knowledge they will need to meet the demands of their future – to ensure they are prepared for the challenges of college and career.  It is an awesome responsibility that we take very seriously.  

“Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together.”  
(Author Jacqueline Woodson)
