May 23, 2013
The countdown is underway as we pack the final three weeks of school with all the activities and final projects that are a vital part of completing the 2012-2013 academic year. The energy at the special pep assembly for our eighth grade students is rolling into the hallways as our students learn more about what to expect as they move to Monroe High School. Mr. Horner, the high school ASB advisor, along with his leadership students kept our eighth graders on their toes, teaching cheers, performing skits and answering questions about high school during Puma time on the 21st. It was impressive that among the leadership students who were at PPM on Tuesday are students heading to Yale, the Seattle Maritime Academy, Boise State as well as local colleges and posthigh school training.
Sixth graders in Mrs. Hesselgrave’s class presented oral reports on Greek Gods in class with many of their parents able to attend to see their students tell their stories in front of a bigger audience. We are looking forward to other 6th grade presentations next week and the week after. As I greet students in the morning, there are numbers of “tri-fold” presentation boards being carefully unloaded and brought to 7th and 8th grade classrooms in Humanities Blocks and Science classes. The support of parents and families in helping students stay organized and on task to complete their culminating projects is most welcome, and appreciated!
Our end of the year recognition assembly will be June 6 at 1:25. The last week of school will have regular schedules so that students and teachers have consistent time slots for final tests and presentations, with the exception of June 14, which is a half day. We were lucky this year to avoid “snow days”, so having school end on June 14 seems early, but will be a welcome treat. Teaching and learning are scheduled to continue through the last day of classes so please continue to monitor your student, check the agenda, provide a quiet study place and encourage your child to continue his or her best effort through the school year.
Thanks for your support throughout this school year!

Important Notice About Internet Safety
The best way to protect children from online harm is to keep computers in a family area of the home. Visibility allows parents to look over the students' shoulders without being too oppressive. Young children should have a parental chaperone whenever they are on the Internet. Two sites that discuss these issues and offer advice can be found at www.safekids.com and www.safeteens.com.
Hyperlinks to staff web sites (located on the Staff page) are provided for student and parent convenience, and all staff web sites are hosted by external Internet service providers. Monroe Public Schools assumes no liability for content contained on external service provider sites. Filtering software from one of the providers listed below is recommended to prevent unauthorized access to sites beyond the District's control.
