Dear Fryelands Families,

Our March Reading Challenge is almost over-

During the month of March, students who achieved the reading goal of 8 hours of recreational reading earned their choice of a Ropes Course or Laser Tag Adventure (valued up to $40) through High Trek Adventures.

Starting on April 1st, you and your child can use the link below to complete the online Student Reading Submission Form. Forms must be submitted by the end of the day on April 15th.

The first 10 words make up about 24% of all written material; the first 100 words make up about 50%, and the first 300 words make up about 65% of all words written in English.

It’s time to register for kindergarten for 2023-2024

All Monroe elementary schools offer all day, every day kindergarten at no cost to families. Students attend from 8:55 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. State law requires incoming kindergarten students to have received current immunizations by the first day of class and be age 5 by August 31, 2023 to enroll for the 2023-2024 school year.

If you cannot access the online registration packet, you can obtain the paper packet at any school office or at the District Administration Office, located at 14692 - 179th Avenue SE, Monroe.

Thank you for bringing your students to school on time and prepared for learning each day. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at presleyj@monroe.wednet.edu or at 360-804-3400.

Thank you!!

Dorian Studios let us know that unfortunately they will need to retake our class pictures. The camera lens they used was faulty causing the pictures to be blurry around the edges. This only affected the class pictures, if you had individual pictures done, those turned out just fine! They will get the individual pictures and the new class pictures to us as soon as they can! Thanks!

This week your student will receive a letter regarding their concert information. I've attached the letters here as well if you need to access them again. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

The Dads of Great Students WATCH D.O.G.S. program is one of the nation’s largest and most respected school-based, family, and community engagement, organizations designed and developed by educators, experts and parent & guardian volunteers over more than two decades.

Our programs for Elementary and Secondary School campuses help provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. Meanwhile, we provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security, reduce bullying and provide a greater sense of campus safety allowing students and teachers to focus on learning and instruction.

Who are Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students)?

Fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, uncles, and other father figures serve on campus for one day or many each year under the leadership of a program coordinator and under the guidance of a school principal or designated administrator.

If you are interested in signing up for a day, please stop by our office to check out our Watch D.O.G.S. calendar.

Typical school attendance laws have been reinstated, and teachers will be taking attendance daily. If your student is not able to participate, please call the school attendance hotline at (360) 804-3401 and leave us a message or submit and attendance request through family access so that we can excuse your student's absence.
