Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2020–2021)

Monroe School recognizes the power of an effective partnership with parents. Our school offers various ways to foster this home-school partnership. We have a Family Engagement Facilitator who strives to keep the lines of communication open between the school and the home. They work to provide translation when needed, find additional community resources, and provide access to staff on campus to meet the needs of all students.
Our School Site Council (SSC) includes parent members and is our school governing body which approves the annual School Site Plan including most budget expenditures. Our English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) empowers the parents of our English-learner students to take an active role in identifying some of the educational/social needs of this student demographic and solicits parent input to improve school services to the English-learner student.
Monroe’s Parent Faculty Organization (PFO) also promotes parental involvement in school through fundraising activities and community building. Our parents have helped us build planter boxes, landscape the school, conduct a school clean-up day, and raise funds for our field trips and assemblies. Parents also regularly serve as school volunteers either in the classroom or by working on special projects for teachers and staff.

Rate School
2019–2020		 District
2019–2020		 State
2019–2020
Suspensions -- -- 2.50%
Expulsions -- -- 0.10%

Note: The 2019–2020 suspensions and expulsions rate data are not comparable to prior year data because the 2019–2020 school year is a partial school year due to the COVID-19 crisis. As such, it would be inappropriate to make any comparisons in rates of suspensions and expulsions in the 2019–2020 school year compared to prior years.

School Safety Plan (School Year 2020–2021)

Our Vision as it pertains to Safety at Monroe School is: Students and staff will have a safe and secure campus where they are free from physical and psychological harm. The principal and staff are committed to maximizing school safety and to creating a positive learning environment that teaches strategies for violence prevention and has high expectations for student conduct, responsible behavior and respect for others.
The campus has enclosed hallways to the majority of the classrooms. All classrooms also have outside access. The Santa Rosa Creek runs along the North side of the school and is separated by a chain-link fence. The campus has 2 main buildings and several out-buildings including the library. The west side of the campus has a field with 2 baseball diamonds that are typically used by the community. A clear path and signage leads visitors to the main office, which is prominently situated at the front of the school. During school hours, visitors are to sign in at the office before visiting any area of the school grounds. We provide supervision during all non-instructional minutes when the students are engaged in free play on the blacktop or field of the school.
To support a positive school climate we have the support of a full time school counselor and a part-time restorative resource specialist. We also have the support of a full time student engagement activity worker. The school counselor works to provide all of our students’ education regarding their emotions and interpersonal skills. Together with the classroom teacher they run class meetings to build class communities where students feel safe and protected. The restorative specialist works with individual students as well as small groups to help students learn to problem solve and resolve conflicts. They also support groups of students through lunch bunches and restorative circles. The student engagement activity worker helps to create inviting extracurricular activities throughout the school day as well as enrichment activities for students after school hours.
