Elementary Enrollment Verification Form
- These will now be sent home to families in the April 26 Thursday Folder.
- They should be returned to you by May 1.
- Elementary Senior Day
- Wednesday, May 16 - 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.
- There will be no change in date or time.
- IF it conflicts with an AP exam, those students will have to choose. I know that is difficult. We try really hard to ensure that doesn't happen by putting this on all of your calendars a year in advance, but College Board sets AP dates.
- It is way too difficult to find a reschedule date.
- Wednesday, May 16 - 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.
Requires Action
Final Evaluations
- I am working on getting final evaluations scheduled with certified staff. Please make sure you update your growth plan with end of year comments for each action step before we meet. Also remember to change your action steps to show "finished." That way we can print and sign when we do your final evaluation. Thank you!
- Please carefully read and follow instructions for Retention Procedures 2018.
- Enter potential retention candidates on Monroe Retention Candidates 2018 spreadsheet by April 27.
