This past year Monroe started its first cheer team. Headed by teacher, Desirey Madrid, the team consisted of 8 girls and a boy. They held practice two times a week and began performing at the girls' basketball games in October. Madrid was formerly the cheer coach at Del Mar and has used her experience to create excitement for Monroe's team. Her goal is to grow the program and possibly enter team competitions in the 24-25 school year.

The yearbook staff (of two parents) is working hard on completing this year's book. It will be published on June 24th so June 23rd will be the last day you can include your book in the group order. NOTE: If you purchase AFTER the publish date, you will automatically be charged extra to have the book shipped. In fact, I believe you can order previous years as well.
Here is the QR code to purchase the book: 
Or you can use the link-https://www.treering.com/purchase?PassCode=1013402154572370. (the passcode is part of the link 1013402154572370)
Also, the yearbook is now being completed by parents through the PTA and the Activities Director will facilitate its completion. In order for this to happen, we will need more parents. It's actually quite easy and you can complete pages throughout the year (and at home). We will kick off sales and have parents sign up to help in September. If you are interested in being a part, contact me at tparrott [at] campbellusd.org and we will give you information in the fall. If we don't have parent help in this, we won't have a yearboook. There will be a variety of ways to help.
NOTE: If you have signed a "No photo" form then your child's photo WILL NOT be included in the yearbook. These forms cover anything at Monroe which includes the yearbook.
Yearbooks will be delivered around the middle of July. Once they arrive, I will have one or two pick up dates/times and will let those who purchased know. if you are unable to get a book on those dates, they will be available for pick up when the office opens the second week of August.
Have a great summer but don't forget to get that yearbook!!!

As of February 2024, Monroe’s students have been able to circulate 3,724 library books. Monroe utilizes a drop-in based library schedule where all teachers can access a shared Google sheet, to sign up for any available library time. This schedule has allowed for 90% of our Language Arts classes to visit the library. The flexible schedule also allows individual or small groups of students to access books when they are ready for a new book. The library is open for break and lunch 5 days a week, where students can find a safe space to hang out with their friends, play board games, read, and check out books.
