A Message from the Principal
Dear Families,
Spring Break is basically upon us and I imagine we are all ready for a change in pace. While we will miss our Cheetahs next week, I hope you and your family are able to have some enjoyable time together!
This week, Mrs. Mitchell and I had the pleasure of going into every classroom as part of our Recess Reteach plan. Students have been reminded of the expectations to be a Cheetah who CARES at recess, we all learned the “Chain Lake way” of playing Rock, Paper, Scissors to solve small disagreements, and our 3rd-5th graders brainstormed how they can be good role models on the playground. After Spring Break we will go back to free choice recess with some new routines and games in place to make it successful for all.
It has been amazing to learn and share each day about interesting women for Women’s History Month in March. Tomorrow marks the beginning of National Poetry Month, and so we will share a short, kid-friendly poem each day. Mrs. Swalwell and I discovered we both have a deep love for poetry, so we’re excited to share with all our Cheetahs!
Enjoy your break,
Ana

Is Your Student Attending School on a Transfer?
The deadline for families to turn in transfer requests is quickly approaching. Families living outside the Monroe School District requesting a Choice Transfer (out of district) or families living within the Monroe School District requesting an Intra-District Transfer (in district) for their child to attend a school outside of their neighborhood attendance area must complete forms to renew their transfers. This includes incoming kindergarten students. The deadline to turn in these forms to be considered for the 2022-2023 school year is Friday, April 1st. Forms received by this date will be reviewed and processed no later than April 22nd or sooner. Families will be notified shortly after. Late forms may not be considered until August.
As a reminder, all transfer forms must be renewed each year. A separate form is required for each child requesting a transfer. Forms are available online by going to https://www.monroe.wednet.edu/about/register-for-school/transfer-requests. Paper copies can be obtained at any of our school buildings or at the Monroe School District Administration Building located at 14692 179th Ave SE in Monroe. For specific questions regarding transfers, please call the District Office at (360) 804-2573. For general enrollment questions, please contact our office.
From our Chain Lake Health Room:
Just a few reminders related to our COVID protocols.
Please DO NOT send your child to school if they have any symptoms that could be related to COVID-19, even if you think they just have a cold. Without the daily attestations, we are relying on you to assess your child’s health status and appropriateness for school. Thank you for your help in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
We are now able to accept at-home test results. Please email a copy of the test results to the health room. Results will be kept in the students health file.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. The phone number in the health room is 360-804-3132 and the best email address is corriem@monroe.wednet.edu.
