Monongah Elementary School

Dear Parents and Families,

Today at school we completed a Cod Red Drill to practice school safety procedures. This is a part of our school safety plan, in order to practice and respond to a scenario that could possibly take place in the event of an emergency. If you have questions about this drill, please contact the office to speak to Mrs. Hissam. Thank you to the staff and students for your quick response during the practice drill. Your cooperation in making our school campus safe and secure is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Hissam

Dear Families,

Your student received a gift from Santa today at school. We ask that you open the gift with your child, and then put away hygiene items from the box (ex. toothpaste, toothbrush, lotion, etc,). Also there is some candy in there as well to monitor (ex. sucker). We are thankful for "More Grace" ministries for donating these gifts.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Dear Families and Staff,

The Christmas Program that was scheduled for tomorrow, has been rescheduled for Thursday, December 18th at the same times at North Marion High School. At 10 o'clock we will have the performances for PreK , Kindergarten, and First Grade, and at 12:30 for Second, Third, and Fourth Grades. Please check with your child's teacher regarding adjusting some of the classroom parties, and activities. Thank you, and I hope you are safe and warm on this snowy day.

Mrs. Hissam

Dear Parents and Families,

All fundraiser money and orders have to be submitted today. This is the last day to turn them in. Thank you for your participation.

Parents and Families,
Please remember some of our arrival and departure practices. Following these routines, makes for a safer and smoother arrival/departure for your child:

1. Students and parents should walk ONLY on the sidewalk side of the parking lot while dropping students off in the morning. Please do not walk through the circle or through the parking lot because there are too many moving vehicles.
2. Parent parking is only permitted in the entry lot, please do not park past the crosswalk as it makes it hard for busses to get through. The parking lot next to the school is for staff only.
3. Please be cautious of other cars when entering and exiting the circle during drop off times.
4. When picking up your child in the evening, please wait outside of the circle, so that we can make sure students are delivered to approved individuals.

Thank you for your cooperation.
