6TH GRADERS

We have scheduled a 6th grade orientation meeting for this Wednesday at 1pm.  This zoom meeting will be a chance to have some fun, learn a little bit about middle school and to connect with our 7th and 8th grade WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) student leaders and 6th grade staff members.

The link is in your email, and will be sent again.  This will probably last around 45 min. to an hour and should be a lot of fun.  We apologize for the last minute information as we have been working on ways to do our regular orientation online.  We are so excited to meet you all.  See you on Wednesday

Family Message

Updated Fri, Apr 8th

Dear Monroe Families,

 

We hope you are well.  We acknowledge that this summer was not like summers past, but we hope you have had time to relax and connect with family.  We know that there are lots of questions and unknowns for the upcoming school year.  This is new for all of us.  At Monroe Middle School we are focused on ensuring connectedness, clarity, and compassion for our students, families, and staff.

 

School Schedule

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we continue to work out all the details for our Distance Learning scheduling.  There are a lot of elements and we want to communicate the most complete and accurate plan.  More information to come.

 

School Site Council Members Needed

We are looking for parent/guardian volunteers who would be willing to join our School Site Council.  This is an elected position, the term is two years, and we have three openings.  The School Site Council provides feedback and input into school programming and budgeting.  If you are interested please email Ms. Radle with a brief personal introduction.  

 

School Uniforms

At the end of last year, we finalized the process to no longer have school uniforms.  For the 2020-2021 school year, we will have a dress code policy.  The details of the policy will be in the student handbook.  This policy will be aligned with district expectations and guidelines.

 

School Start Date Change

The first day of the 2020-2021 school year has been moved to Monday, August 24th.

 

As always we are here to answer your questions.  We appreciate you and your support for our school.

Distance Learning Expectations

Updated Wed, Jun 10th

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy as we enter week 5 of our new normal in schools.  Yesterday, teachers shared the expectations with students about Distance Learning. Here is the information we shared with your children about the Distance Learning Expectations.

There have been quite a few requests for tech support that need to be handled in person.  In Thursday’s email, we will have an update on how we will be handling this process moving forward. We are also finalizing grading expectations and will share that information with you this week.  

Be well and stay safe.  We miss your children very much.

 

Esperamos que todos se mantengan seguros y saludables al ingresar a la 5ta semana de nuestra nueva normalidad en las escuelas. Ayer, los maestros compartieron las expectativas con los estudiantes sobre el aprendizaje a distancia. Aquí está la información que compartimos con sus hijos sobre las expectativas de aprendizaje a distancia.

 

Ha habido bastantes solicitudes de soporte técnico que deben manejarse en persona. En el correo electrónico del jueves, tendremos una actualización sobre cómo manejaremos este proceso en el futuro. También estamos finalizando las expectativas de calificación y compartiremos esa información con usted esta semana.

 

Que estén bien y manténgase a salvo. Extrañamos mucho a sus hijos.
