La Monte Elementary News
March 2018
Greetings from the Office!
Happy March La Monte Families & Community Members -
This year is flying by! We are nearing the end of 3rd quarter and before we know it, the school year will be over. Hopefully, we are past the extreme cold weather and we will continue to have warmer temperatures and spring-like weather. MAP Testing will begin next month. We will be sending home test information and strategies on how you can help prepare your child to do their best on the test. While this is a new test to Missouri, it will look similar to last year's test and students will continue to take the test on the computer. Teachers have been working diligently to prepare your child to be successful and I know our students have been working hard to focus their efforts on academics and doing their best to be successful on MAP tests.
As the year continues to progress, I would like your help in reminding our students the importance of treating others with respect. The nearer we get to the end of the year it is easy for students, in their excitement for spring and summer break, to forget to follow all of our behavior expectations. We want everyone to come to school and feel safe and respected. I know with help from our La Monte families, we can make this happen!
Proposition Vikings will go before the voters on April 3rd! Please go out and vote on this day. Please see all the information below on the zero tax-increase bond issue.
Proud to be a Viking,
Jennifer Corson
Principal, La Monte Elementary
