Principal's Post
As we enter the final week of the 2020-2021 school year, I would like to thank you for your patience and support. This was a year unlike any other and I am so thankful to have joined such an amazing learning community!
If you are returning to Monroe in the fall, we look forward to seeing you again soon!
If you are moving on to CHMS or elsewhere, we wish you nothing but the best!
If you know will not be returning to a D181 school in the fall, please contact Maria Bush in the Monroe School office PRIOR to the end of the school year so we can plan accordingly.
I will be sending one last Monroe Memo next week to kick off our summer season.
Your partner in education,
Kristin Reingruber

2021-2022 Registration
Registration for the 2021-22 school year is now open! All current students (those entering kindergarten through 8th grade for the 2021-22 school year) need to complete the District registration and fee payment process to enroll.
Action Required: Steps to Complete Registration
- Log In: Click here to log in to Skyward Family Access Portal. Only the primary guardian will have access to D181 online registration.
- Registration Steps: For step-by-step instructions, click here: Registration Steps
- SchoolPay Fees: All D181 schools use SchoolPay for processing fees. For instructions on how to use SchoolPay, please click here.
- PTO Registration: Are you registered with your school’s PTO? After registration and fee payment is complete, you can complete PTO tasks including ordering supply kits, registering for the PTO directory, and signing up to volunteer. Note: If you already registered with your school's PTO for 2021-22, there is no need to re-register.
- Final Submission - REQUIRED: Once you have completed PTO information, return to Skyward Family Access and complete the final submission on your registration application.
Please note that the registration process is not complete until you return to Skyward and click the “Submit D181 2020-21 Online Registration” button.
Notice: Fee payments are expected at the time of registration. If you have unpaid fees from the 2020-21 school year, these will need to be paid in full along with the 2021-22 fees.
Free School Lunches: Your child may be entitled to free school lunches. According to the Illinois School Code, every public school must have a free lunch program that provides free lunches (and breakfasts if a school offers breakfast) to students eligible to receive free meals. The application for the free lunch program is available in Skyward Family Access. Click here for directions on how to apply to determine if you qualify.
