Dear Monomoy Middle School Families,
This week marks the midway point for quarter 3! Families and caregivers will find your student's quarter 3 progress note posted to Aspen on Friday of this week. Progress notes are a great time to check in with students and teachers about their current grades. We always encourage students to take advantage of supports in place including library support before and after school, as well as arranging for times with teachers to get extra support. Thank you for working with us on behalf of our amazing students!
In Partnership,
Abby Dudley
Principal
