Welcome to Monteith for the 2024-2025 School Year!

Monty's Corner: Getting ready for The 2024-2025 School Year

Tigers,

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer spending time with family and friends. I loved having the opportunity to see many of you throughout the summer around town and getting sweet emails from families about the wonderful things you have done this summer. I know that my favorite part of summer is spending time with my family traveling up North in Michigan and this summer we had an awesome family reunion with over 70 people in Rough River, Kentucky!

As you can see Family is very important to me and I'm very excited to welcome back and welcome new members to our incredible Monteith Tiger family this Fall! There is a lot of important information in this email and I don't like to overwhelm families so next week I will be sending an email with links about more specific details about Pick up/ Drop off, Lunch schedules, Entry doors, PTO, and more.

This letter is just to make sure you have all the information for things you need to do before the 1st day and so you know of changes in staffing and important events coming up! I can't wait to see all the smiling faces on August 29th from 3:45- 5pm at the Popsicles with the Principal event!

Your Partner in Education,

Dr. Keelean
