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.

Families of the Class of 2009: We invite any parents/guardians of seniors in planning their graduation night party. Plans have begun for this safe, all-night event and we would like input from those who would like to participate. This party is for the seniors only and they will be taken by bus the evening of graduation. The students will return to the high school by bus at approximately 6:00 AM where they can be picked up and taken home. Don’t miss the opportunity to send your student to a safe graduation party and create lasting memories. To join our efforts please contact Rita Zimmerman or Kristi Cundy.
