Monroe Messenger

Parents and Guardians,

We hope this letter finds you well as we enter the first few weeks of autumn. As we continue to enhance our communication and streamline access to important information, we are pleased to inform you of a significant update regarding your child's academic progress.

As our data is updated throughout the year, we work to inform you when recent data has been updated within Infinite Campus parent portal. Your child's MCA/ACCESS spring assessment results will be available for you to view after 4:00pm Oct. 3 under the student test detail tab.

To access your child's reported data in Infinite Campus, simply log in to your parent portal account using your credentials. If you encounter any difficulties or have questions about accessing or interpreting the data, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's school. Click here for a complete set of directions to help walk you through the process.

We believe that by making assessment data readily available on Infinite Campus, we can strengthen the partnership between home and school, working together to ensure the academic success and well-being of every student. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child's education.

Wishing you a wonderful rest of your autumn, and we look forward to a successful academic year!

PLEASE READ

Students are prohibited from using cell phones and other electronic communication devices (earbuds, smartwatches, etc.) during the instructional day. Students also are prohibited from using a cell phone or other electronic communication device to engage in conduct prohibited by school district policies including, but not limited to, cheating, bullying, harassment, and malicious and sadistic conduct. If the school district has a reasonable suspicion that a student has violated a school rule or law by use of a cell phone or other electronic communication device, the school district may search the device. The search of the device will be reasonably related in scope to the circumstances justifying the search. Students who use an electronic communication device during the school day and/or in violation of school district policies may be subject to disciplinary action pursuant to the school district’s discipline policy. In addition, a student’s cell phone or electronic communication device may be confiscated by the school district and, if applicable, provided to law enforcement. Cell phones or other electronic communication devices that are confiscated and retained by the school district will be returned in accordance with school building procedures.

The yearbook is in need of your school activity photos. Any first-day-of-school pictures, field trips, classroom parties, book fairs, and general fun photos that you take in any school-related activity can be submitted to Amy Demaster at amydemaster@gmail.com.

Please note that when students have to leave during the day, they will remain with their class until their pick-up person has arrived and either called the office or buzzed the door. Due to confidentiality and students not getting picked up at their specified time, we can not have children waiting in the office. Please understand that if you need them at a specific time for an appointment, you may need to come a few minutes earlier so we have time to get them from their classroom.

Visitors are to remain outside when coming to pick up or drop off your student. Thank you for your cooperation.

When calling to change after school plans please email the teacher before 10:00 am with your change or call the office before 2:15. The end of the day is very busy and we need that extra time to get the message to the teachers before school lets out.

If you are seeking part time or full time employment, MAPS (and Monroe) may have an opportunity for you. Check out the openings at https://www.applitrack.com/isd77/onlineapp/jobpostings/view.asp

Feel free to reach out to learn more about any opportunities that intrigue you. Depending on the position, we sometimes can be flexible with days and hours worked!
