Hello Families,
During the month of May, it is also a time we show appreciation for our teachers and school nurse. The James Monroe staff is absolutely stellar! Their training, dedication and creativity in adapting to these unique expectations has been tireless. Our community is successful because of our wonderful staff.
Please take a moment to continue reading about important news and upcoming events.
With warm regards,

Important Attendance Reminders
- The school day starts at 8:55 am. Teachers will be taking attendance daily. Please make sure your child is logged on or arrived to school and ready to start each morning at 8:55.
- If your child is attending in-person, you must call the school to notify the main office if they are not coming to school.
- In-person students must be present because the classroom teacher is prepared and expecting them to attend their classroom.
- Please email your child's teacher and school administration if your child needs to stay remote due to sickness or quarantine, which is the only acceptable reason.
