Monroe's Summer Resource Site
We are pleased to introduce the Monroe Summer Learning Resource site. This site was built by a team of teachers to provide our students with options to continue their learning over the summer. It is organized by grade level and subject area for ease of use and includes many helpful parent resources. The link to the Summer Learning Resource site is located in several places on the Monroe Local Schools website. Please visit the individual school pages, the Student Resource Page under the Homework Help section, or the Parent Resource Page under Links of Interest.
Some resources will require students to log in to continue working on skills learned during the school year. They should sign in with the same credentials they used in class. If you have any questions or have trouble accessing any information on this site, please contact Andrea Carovillano at acarovillano@monroelocalschools.com.
