The Monroe School District Employee Honor Roll recognition program is aimed at recognizing employees for exemplifying Monroe School District's commitment/shared values through their service to our students, staff, families, and/or community.

Supervisors, fellow employees, parents, and community members submitted 21 nominations in the month of October!

All October nominees are recognized HERE, but only one in each employee category (classified, certificated, administrator) are selected each month as the MSD Honor Roll Employee of the Month. Monthly award recipients are selected by the Superintendent's Executive Cabinet.

Please join us in congratulating our October Honor Roll Employees of the Month!

Classified Employee of the Month

Maggie Jacobs - Registrar at Sky Valley Education Center

Nomination #1: Maggie has been with the district since 1992. She has been in this current role for 17 years. She is one of the biggest assets SVEC has.  Maggie makes sure each student and family feels welcomed. She spends A LOT of time explaining the in's and out's of our amazing, unique school. She will sit down with families to go over our different programs and options, patiently explaining all the rules and regulations. Maggie spends so much time giving excellent customer service to our teacher, staff, students and families. Maggie Jacobs (previously known as Margaret) is a treasure to SVEC and MSD!!! 

Nomination #2: Maggie is magnificent. Her ability to organize and process the reports and requests she needs to complete on a weekly basis is amazing. In addition, her compassion, warmth, and sincerity when she welcomes new families to Sky Valley is a true gift that we all treasure. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and attentive, and makes sure that each family has an opportunity to hear about a program that best meets their needs. While she is offering each family hope, she is managing all the details related to student record keeping, answering the phone, and keeping our student management system accurate and updated. She is a master at her job and we all rely on her expertise each and every day. You are a superstar, Maggie!

Certificated Employee of the Month

Andrea Vye - Teacher at Frank Wagner Elementary

Although Andrea is a building mentor for new staff, she has taken on more of us than she was given and has helped us with district/school/teaching things to help us acclimate to our new school/job. She has not once complained about the extra work that it has likely created for her. She is always willing to lend an ear, give advice, or help us troubleshoot a problem. She has made me feel more welcome and supported than I ever have in a district, and she doesn't have to (I am not one of her assigned mentees). Her commitment to helping staff achieve their goals in order to help our staff and students succeed should be commended.

Administrator of the Month

Joe Neigel - Director of Prevention Services

Joe continues to be an amazing advocate for our students in the district.  He is the most in touch with their needs as he collaborates so closely with the staff serving on the front line by listening. He is always coming up with positive ways to restructure some of our most challenging situations.
