Dear Mighty Monroe Families,
Although the invention of technology has spurred ingenuity, led to global communication, and changed the way that people interact with the world, it has also created some challenges and risks for children who use these communication devices. Over the past 3 years, I’ve seen an increase in the use of technology and exposure to inappropriate content during non-school hours. Many times, these online exchanges lead to disruptions of school activities, student conflict, and emotional distress.
If your child has a device--phone, tablet, laptop, video game console (PS4), X-Box, or any other communication device connected to the world-wide-web, I urge you to limit their screen time and to regularly monitor their content and the nature of their usage. Below is a helpful resource for parents.

D'Veal Family and Youth Services will be beginning a no-cost evening parent support group called Parent University held at Clifton Middle School starting December 3, 2019! It is open to the community, not just D'Veal clients. Please see attached flyers in Spanish and English for details.

Each year our Monroe community puts our best foot forward to raise much-needed funds. During the pledge period, which launched this week, students will ask friends and family members for donations. On the day of the event, students will run or walk as many laps as they can in a specified amount of time. This is a fundraiser that not only brings funds to enhance the education but also encourages students to build a strong mind and body. Please consider supporting this fundraiser and help us reach our school goal of $25,000!
