Dear Monroe Middle Families,

Recently, your family received a message from Omaha Public Schools Chief Academic Officer Susan Christopherson. If you missed that email, we’ve posted it here.

Omaha Public Schools and Monroe Middle are always learning and growing, just like the students we serve. Through our Strategic Plan of Action, Omaha Public Schools invested in early literacy across elementary schools and expanded access to high-quality options in high school. Reflecting on a student’s middle school experience is our next step to improve.

We invite you to the Monroe Middle family engagement meeting, where we will discuss our school’s strengths, our vision for an ideal middle school student experience and how we can get there, together.
