Monroe Public Schools: Monroe, Washington 98272

  • Thank a Teacher – The saying goes “if you can read this then thank a teacher” as where would any of us be without those that taught us our ABCs and multiplication tables as well as hundreds of other skills that help us function in our world. The National PTA started the annual Teacher Appreciation Week, celebrated this year from May 4-10, to recognize the lasting contributions teachers make in our lives.

  • Ready for Kindergarten? – Class assignments are underway for children starting kindergarten in September. Registration materials are available at each elementary school. Our staff is happy to help families learn which school serves their neighborhood. There is still room in the extended day sessions.

  • Next year’s calendar set – Vacations and other important dates for families were recently approved by the School Board for the 2008-09 school year.

Volunteer Opportunities: Many opportunities are available to become involved. Monroe Public Schools pride themselves on keeping children and volunteers in our schools safe. For the safety of the volunteers and our students, volunteers are required to fill out a volunteer packet each year.

Applications are available in English and Spanish and can be obtained from your school, Monroe School District Office or from Tess Thompson, District Volunteer Coordinator @ thompsont@monroe.wednet.edu or (360) 804-2575.
This includes the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Background Check form.
