Monitor Elementary School

Message from Principals

May was such a fun month! Our students went on a variety of field trips, we had our stick horse rodeo, we celebrated our teachers during teacher appreciation week, and more! We loved being able to recognize our students at our fourth quarter awards assemblies as well as our kindergarten and fifth grade celebrations. Our talent shows gave students the opportunity to demonstrate their amazing abilities, and career day helped our students look ahead to what skills they might want to develop in the future!

This summer we will continue our mobile book tour at Randall Wobbe and The Heights on Oak Apartments every Monday. In addition, select current 2nd-5th graders will participate in our Mallard University Summer Camp from June 2nd-4th. We will welcome our new kindergarten students for Kindergarten Jumpstart the week of July 27th, and we look forward to seeing all of our students back on Thursday, August 6th for Open House.

Our school board has approved the academic calendar for the 2026-2027 school year. It can be found at the bottom of this newsletter. We hope you find it helpful in planning for next school year. We are so thankful for an amazing year with our students and families and hope you all have a FUN and SAFE summer!

Mrs. Cassie Marquette, Assistant Principal
