Some options are available through our Campbell Union School District Expanded Learning programs, while others are organized by MMS teachers.

Arts
Spend the year exploring your creative side. Students will have the opportunity to look at and make art, applying techniques and skills using different materials. During the year, students will study the elements and principles of design. We will think about, talk about and make judgments on works of art, including our own. Critiques are in both verbal and written forms.

Athletics
UPDATES COMING SOON
Monroe Middle School offers competitive sports for boys and girls. The sports offered are wrestling, cross-country, soccer, volleyball, track and field, and basketball. Sports try-outs are advertised at school and on the morning announcements.
AVID
The purpose of AVID (Grades 7 & 8) is to prepare students for success in high school and college. The course has strict qualifying standards, and helps students by teaching study and organization skills, strengthening writing skills, provides tutorial help via college tutors, builds leadership potential, teaches students to work collaboratively, and provides kids a glimpse at college applications and college life. Guest speakers share their secrets to success, and students tour Bay Area colleges. This is a class that will most definitely set students on a successful path.

Also, the MMS band performs in several afternoon events, local community parades, and regional competitions. They are graded on a range of musical elements, including instrument practice, playing tests, written tests, daily participation, and performances.
Beginning Band
Beginning Band is for students interested in learning and playing an instrument, including the flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, french horn, baritone, tuba, and percussion (drums). There is absolutely no experience necessary. Beginning Band will participate in several concerts at Monroe and the Campbell Heritage Theater.

Core Academics
New ideas. New concepts. New skills.
Educating students to their highest potential. That is our mission.
Grades 6 through 8 is when our students explore core subjects more deeply and discover new interests and skills that may continue through high school and beyond. Our teachers provide strong core academic instruction through their broad knowledge of the subject matter, standards-based curriculum, and creative lesson design.
