From the Desk of Mr. Johanson
Hello Monroe Families,
We are already three weeks into the school year. Routines and expectations are being established and students are doing great! Thank you for your partnership as we begin a new year. If your child has been sharing that they have not had a good start to the year, please let us know. Even if they tell you that they have told school staff about problems/conflicts they have, we have found that sometimes students have not shared info with adults here. To make sure we know, or if there is anything that you want to know more about, reach out to their teacher first. They will listen, respond, and ensure your student is supported to the best of their ability. If they need help from our Student Support Team, then they will let them know. We want each of your students to have the best school year and we want to work with you to make that happen.
Have a nice weekend!

PTO Meeting
Picking up your student during school hours 🏫
Please note that when students have to leave during the day, they will remain with their class until their pick-up person has arrived and either called the office or buzzed the door. Due to confidentiality and students not getting picked up at their specified time, we can not have children waiting in the office. Please understand that if you need them at a specific time for an appointment, you may need to come a few minutes earlier so we have time to get them from their classroom.
Please remain outside...
For safety reasons, during school hours we will continue to limit visitors. Visitor Please remain outside when coming to pick up or drop off your student. Thank you for your cooperation.
