As we look forward to the start of the 2020-2021 school year, the current health situation has provided us with a once in a life time moment to create history as we launch this epic school year. In preparation for the first day of school, we will distribute learning materials on Monday, August 17th (see time blocks below). To expedite the distribution of student materials, we ask that you create a visible sign with your child's first and last name along with their grade level. Please display your sign on the right- hand side of your dashboard as your approach the pick-up point.
TK - 1st: 8:00am - 9:50am
2nd - 3rd: 10:00am - 11:20am
4th - 5th 12:00pm- 1:20pm
Make Ups: 1:30pm-2:30pm
*If you are unable to pick up your child's materials on Monday, we will have a make-up pick-up time on Tuesday, August 18, from 2pm to 6pm.
The first day of school will be Wednesday, August 19 and virtual instruction will begin at 8:30am. For the first 8 days of school, teacher lead instruction will end at 11:30am, but students may continue to complete assignments and use online learning tools. Teachers will be in contact, and will provide detailed information.
The purpose for short days on the first 8 days of school, is for teachers to personally connect with their families and to appropriately assesses their students' learning needs. Similarly, each Friday during distance learning, teacher lead instruction will end at 11:30am. However, students will be able complete assignments and work on independent tasks after 11:30am. Teachers will use this time on Fridays to continue reaching out to families and their students, participate in professional development, and collaborate and refine our distance learning program. Please log on to your ParentSquare account click on classes to find out who your child's teacher is.
As always, one of our main priorities is to ensure that each and every Mighty Monroe Lion feels their importance as a member of their class and school community. I am in complete admiration of our community, as I witness the incredible outpouring of support that you have shown us and one another. Let's get ready to launch this historical moment and epic school year!

Mientras anticipamos el comienzo del año escolar 2020-2021, la situación de salud nos ha brindado un momento historica al lanzar este año escolar! En preparación para el primer día de clases, vamos a distribuir materiales el lunes 17 de agosto (vea los bloques de tiempo a continuación). Para acelerar la distribución de materiales para los estudiantes, le pedimos que cree un letrero visible con el nombre y apellido de su hijo junto con su nivel de grado. Muestre su letrero en el lado derecho de su veiculo cuando se acerque a la escuela.
TK - 1st: 8:00am - 9:50am
2nd - 3rd: 10:00am - 11:20am
4th - 5th 12:00pm- 1:20pm
Make Ups: 1:30pm-2:30pm* Si no puede recoger los materiales de su hijo el lunes, puede venir el martes 18 de agosto de 2 p.m. a 6 p.m.
El primer día de clases será el miércoles 19 de agosto y la instrucción virtual comenzará a las 8:30 am. Durante los primeros 8 días de clases, la instrucción dirigida por el maestro terminará a las 11:30 am, pero los estudiantes pueden continuar completando las tareas y utilizando herramientas de aprendizaje en línea. Los maestros se pondrán en contacto y brindarán información detallada.
El propósito de los días cortos en los primeros 8 días de clases es para que los maestros se conecten personalmente con sus familias y evalúen adecuadamente las necesidades de aprendizaje de cada uno de sus estudiantes. De manera similar, cada viernes durante el aprendizaje a distancia, la instrucción dirigida por el maestro terminará a las 11:30 am. Sin embargo, los estudiantes podrán completar las asignaciones y trabajar en tareas independientes después de las 11:30 am. Los maestros usarán este tiempo cada viernes para apoyar a las familias y a sus estudiantes, y para participar en el desarrollo profesional y colaborar y con sus colegas. Puede darce cuenta quien es la maestra/o de su alumno, en su cuenta de ParentSquare, bajo clases.
Como siempre, una de nuestras prioridades es asegurarnos de que todos y cada uno de los Leones poderosos de Monroe sientan su importancia como miembros de su clase y comunidad escolar. Estoy en total admiración de nuestra comunidad, ya que soy testigo del increíble apoyo que nos han mostrado. ¡Estoy entusiasmada para lanzar este momento histórico con ustedes!

Important Messages Regarding Distance Learning
Important Messages Regarding Distance Learning
Standards for Distance Learning
Standards for Distance Learning
Recently, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 98, and Governor Newsom signed it into law on June 29, 2020. Ths law sets certain minimum standards for distance learning including supporting mental health and well-being of students, student engagement and outreach, and resources to address trauma and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To address these requirements of the law, we have included in our LCAP, regular instruction in social emotional learning that will take place district wide and in every classroom. The curriculum will teach students the skills they need to understand and manage emotions, set goals, show empathy for others, establish positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
This is a critical time for students to learn and use these skills to connect in a positive way to their teacher, classmates, principals, and to their campus culture.
A Note Regarding Zoom
A Note Regarding Zoom
If the teacher is using a District approved platform as directed and in accordance with distance learning training, if “zoom bombed”, the meeting may end immediately.
Note: Teachers should have a back up plan in case this happens.
Alteration of teacher images and posting on social media calls for an immediate parent/teacher/administrator meeting, progressive discipline and could draw a lawsuit by the teacher.
If the posting is defamatory, depending on the precise statement or visual representation-Implement progressive discipline and the teacher may have a civil lawsuit against the student/family.
If it is physically threatening to the teacher, e.g., a threat to attack, maim or kill:
A report it to the platform will be made, demand it be taken down immediately;
Possibly Seek a court injunction on behalf of the teacher and the District.
Site admin follows progressive discipline and works with law enforcement depending on the nature of the threat.
