Monroe Middle School
June 12th * From Your Principal
Dear Parents:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for a wonderful 2008-2009 school year. Staff and families working together have given students rich learning experiences peppered with fun and social activities. As you spend time with your students this summer, learning can continue by encouraging quiet times to read, write and reflect. There are also many places in our area to take a hike, go swimming, ride your bike or have a family picnic.
Student report cards will be posted on Educator Access and mailed to your homes on June 24th. If you do not receive your report card you can check with the office until June 30th. Then you may check with us after August 17th when we reopen for the fall.
2009-2010 schedules will be mailed home and made available on Family Access August 24th. We will be making every effort to have our schedules right the first time. However, if after you see your schedule you have questions, please call our Counselor, Mrs. Franklin at 360-804-4203 and leave a message. She will be returning to work on August 31, 2009 and will return calls at that time.Up to date on Immunizations?
All Students must be up to date on their shots in order to start school in the Fall. Please check our June newsletter for a detailed list of the requirements. Incoming 6th graders, please take special note!
I hope you all have a fun and restful summer and are ready for a great 2009-2010 school year.Sincerely,
Linda Boyle, Principal

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.
