Young Five and Kindergarten Jump Start:
The 2019/2020 Young Five and Kindergarten Jump Start will take place on August 19th-22nd from 9 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. During these four sessions, our staff will welcome your child with a variety of activities that will help everyone to launch new friendships and form our community of learners. Teachers will utilize this time to make connections with your child and get to know him/her as an individual – academically and socially. Families will have the choice to provide their own transportation, or if within our busing zone, utilize our Monroe Public Schools bus transportation for children to get to and from the Jump Start sessions. Registration starts today! To reserve your child’s place in Jump Start, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRsfJ91XvgD2zeSRkQo5ZYpS_C4pxkRSfGWox217dqTs6Mbw/viewform?usp=sf_link or please call (734) 265-3100 and leave a message with your child’s name, school name, your contact information, and indicate if your child will be riding the bus or be transported by family. All registrations must be received by Friday, August 9th. You will receive a follow-up notification with additional details and bus information from your child’s school.
Young Five and Kindergarten Individual Assessment Sessions:
In addition to the four Jump Start sessions, families will schedule a Young Five and Kindergarten Individual Assessment Session for your child to come to school for some learning assessments. These assessments will provide important information for the teacher to prepare for your child’s individual plan of instruction for the upcoming school year. Assessment sessions will take place at various times between August 22nd and August 30th. We will do everything that we can to work with your family’s schedule. To schedule your child’s appointment, please call the school office (phone numbers above) on August 12th and 12th between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Families will provide transportation to and from their child’s assessment appointment.
We are looking forward to everyone participating in this wonderful opportunity. Together, we will set the foundation for an amazing year of rich learning and growth for our children and school!
Yours truly,

Monroe High School and Orchard Center High School students will have the opportunity to recover a required Math and/or ELA course that was not previously passed during the 2018/2019 school year or prior. *If your student has also not passed a science or social studies course we will add this to his or her summer schedule upon completion of the SLA application.
We are optimistic about continued growth in these areas and would like your student, to continue to work toward graduation requirements and individual goals during the summer at the MPS Summer Learning Academy.
SLA begins Monday, July 8th. If you would like to sign up, please call (734) 265-3100.
Again this year, all MPS students in grades Y5-8 may apply to participate in the Summer Learning Academy and have a summer camp experience!! Just like an athlete needs to exercise regularly to stay at the top of his/her game, so do students! During summer months students need to continue to exercise their brains, to keep the new connections made during the school year!!! The MPS Summer Learning Academy is designed around your child’s interests and academic needs; stretching every child’s reading, writing and math levels. It will be an opportunity for students to get a jump start on the upcoming school year, continue connections with friends over summer months, and engage in a fun summer camp.
SLA begins Monday, July 8th. If you would like to sign up, please call (734) 265-3100.

Heads Up for Planning SPRING BREAK!
SCHOOL YEAR : 2018-2019
Spring Break Begins: April 1st
School Resumes: April 8th (Easter is April 21st and is NOT a part of the break)
Keep this in mind as you make any travel arrangements for Spring Break 2019.
The scheduling of Spring Breaks (and Winter ones, too) is arranged years in advance with common dates among all the schools in Monroe County. In the case of Spring Breaks, an attempt to include the Easter weekend is made as long as it does not conflict with the State's assessment testing window requirements. In 2018 it was not a problem, but the holiday falls much later in April of 2019. We realize that this is less than ideal for people that travel to spend Easter with families, but hope this advance notice allows you to have discussions with your family, brainstorm potential alternatives if necessary, and plan accordingly to avoid making reservations/buying tickets for the wrong dates.
Monroe WILL be observing Good Friday; There will be NO School scheduled for that day. School will resume Monday, April 22nd, after Easter. Hopefully, the long weekend will still provide an opportunity for families to gather for the Easter Holiday.
Due to the dangerous windchill warning, Monroe Public Schools Offices will be closed from today, Wednesday, January 30th through noon on Thursday, January 31st. Additionally, All Monroe Public Schools, Preschool and Kids Club are closed through January 31st. Please stay safe and warm!
