Dear Monroe Families,

Monroe students have received a new chromebook! If they do not have a new chromebook, please have them come see me in the LLC. 

The top three things to know are: 
1) The charger stays at home, and your child should charge their chromebook every night.
2) The chromebook should stay in its case at all times.
3) There is a one week grace period for students to report any existing defects. If something is wrong with the chromebook, a student must let us know in the LLC before August 29th. After that we will start assessing for damage. 

Below is the letter all students received with their chromebook about important policies and how to take care of it. 

-Mrs. Nordyke

CUSD 200 administers the FastBridge assessments in the fall, winter, and spring for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. These assessments measure academic performance and growth in reading and mathematics.

Monroe will be administering the fall round of FastBridge assessments for reading and math next week. Students will take the reading assessments in their ELA class on August 27 and math assessments in their math class on August 28 and 29. To ensure your child is prepared for these assessments, please make sure they get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and bring a fully charged Chromebook to school!
