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!!!

A Year of Student Growth Complete; Looking Ahead to the Next

A Message from the Superintendent

a row of kindergarten students looking through binoculars

The end of another school year is a time to reflect on the learning, growth, and countless memorable moments our students have experienced this year. Your involvement, commitment and encouragement made those experiences possible, and I want to thank you.

It has been a joy to witness the progress our students have made and to see them develop both academically and personally. They have gained competency in critical thinking, self-direction, collaboration, innovation, and empathy. Their growth is truly impressive!

To help keep the fun of learning happening through the summer, I want to remind you that every student in our district has an online library account through the Santa Clara County Library District. It can be used to access books, music, videos and more.

Together—school, home, and community—we create an environment that fosters curiosity and a love for learning that can last a lifetime. 

I look forward to seeing what the future holds for each of our students, and wish you all a wonderful summer filled with rest, fun, and family time.

Students’ Online Safety is a Family Affair 

 Home Internet filters are your defense year round. District-owned student devices to be disabled this summer.

This summer, we encourage parents and caregivers to ramp up supervision of their children’s online interactions. When school is in session, our computer devices have multiple layers of online security. During summer break, or when students are not using a school-issued device, internet safety must rely on security features available in their home.

This summer: 

  • Students will be able to use their school accounts to log into Clever and other familiar applications used at school, but district filters will not be active. Online filtering will depend on what the family has at home.
  • The take-home Chromebooks, assigned to students in grades 6-8, will be disabled during the summer break. They will be re-enabled in time for the new school year, which begins August 21st.

Please note that Gaggle, one of our district’s online student safety management systems which reviews student-generated documents for words and phrases that trigger a concern for student safety, will not be active during the break.

We encourage parents and guardians to always be vigilant and actively supervise their children's online activities. Together, we can foster responsible digital behavior, maintain open communication, and ensure a safe and healthy online experience for children.

Resources for Parents

Surgeon General’s May 2023 Advisory on Social Media and Youth Mental Health highlights the potential harm social media can have on young people's mental health. The advisory suggests that parents and caregivers can take steps to protect their children, such as establishing tech-free zones, foster in-person relationships, teaching responsible online behavior, modeling good behavior, and reporting problematic content and activity.

Tips for Family Supervision and Parental Control

The nonprofit Common Sense Media offers a multitude of resources and information to help families navigate the benefits and pitfalls of screen time and social media use. Parents and caregivers may find the following articles helpful.
