Dear Mustang Families,

Parent Teacher Conferences

We will be hosting our Spring Conferences March 27th-30th. These four days will be early release days and students will be released at 12:55pm. Friday, March 31st students will be released at 2:25pm. You should have received information on Monday, March 13th from your child's teacher about how to sign up for a spring conference. Students benefit when teachers, students, and families are able to build strong, positive relationships.

It’s time to register for kindergarten for 2023-2024

All Monroe elementary schools offer all day, every day kindergarten at no cost to families. Students attend from 8:55 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. State law requires incoming kindergarten students to have received current immunizations by the first day of class and be age 5 by August 31, 2023 to enroll for the 2023-2024 school year.

• New families may register online for the current year. Learn how here.

• Families with children currently enrolled can log into Family Access to enroll additional children.

If you cannot access the online registration packet, you can obtain the paper packet at any school office or at the District Administration Office, located at 14692 - 179th Avenue SE, Monroe.

We are Seeing an Uptick of Students with a Stomach Virus at School

What to Do:

#1 Stay Home when experiencing symptoms of fever, vomiting or diarrhea

#2 Hand Washing at Home and School:

• It is critical that students, parents, and staff wash their hands often.

• Proper hand washing includes covering all parts of the hands, including fingernails, with soap; rubbing lathered hands together vigorously for at least 20 seconds; thoroughly rinsing hands with water; and drying hands with a paper towel.

• Supervise the handwashing of young students to ensure that hands are thoroughly washed. Hand-sanitizers are not an acceptable substitute for handwashing because they are not as effective

• Wash hands after using the restroom, changing diapers, sneezing or coughing, cleaning up vomit or diarrhea, handling soiled items, or helping students in the restroom.

• Wash hands before eating, preparing or serving food, or feeding children.

#3 We are disinfecting those classrooms where we are seeing more incidents

Thank you for bringing your students to us for their academic and social learning. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at hillestadc@monroe.wednet.edu or at 360-804-3500.

In Partnership,

Christine Hillestad
