Monteith Messenger

Dear Tiger Families,

We had an incredible first week of school filled with smiles, giggles and kindness. We welcomed many new Tigers to our family from new staff to new students and families! We are very excited for our Back to School Night coming up this Tuesday September 10th at 6:30pm. We do ask that you arrive at 6:30pm and head right to your child's classroom to view the welcome video and find out more about Monteith and the wonderful staff that make Monteith such a special place to learn and grow!

Please click on the following link if you are making sure you are set for the start of the year:

- Helpful Hints about Monteith

I have included our Monteith Family Slide Show which introduces all of our staff members and the important roles they hold at Monteith.

Lunchroom: The volunteer's responsibility is to help answer questions, open lunches or capri suns, and push the garbage can around the gym.

Recess: The responsibility is to supervise the students to ensure they are safe and respectful. You are circulating the playground, and if you have questions, please ask a staff member for help.

Please do not take pictures or videos when you are supervising.

Week of 9/9 - 9/13
