We invite you and your Kindergartener to our 2019/2020 Kindergarten Sneak Peek tonight - Thursday, June 6th @ 6 pm. This night is about partnering to ensure your child has a successful start to his/her school career here at Salem Woods. We hope to see you!

The Bearcats are coming....the Bearcats are coming!! Monroe High School is continuing a fun tradition started a few years back. Tomorrow, Friday, June 7th, former Timberbeasts from the Class of 2019 will be returning to Salem Woods for their very own Grad Walk. Help us celebrate our graduating Timberbeasts by wearing orange and black for Bearcat Day!!

Congratulations to all of the Class of 2019 MHS graduates!

Enjoy the adventures and your journey ahead!

We want to hear what you think!

In order for us to continue to improve as a school district and as a school, it is important for us to know how our students and families think we are doing. Your feedback is crucial in helping us understand what you consider our strengths and our opportunities for growth.

We are asking families to let us know what they think through a survey developed by the Center of Educational Effectiveness. The survey may be filled out online or via a paper copy from the main office. This important survey will be anonymous and will only take about 10 minutes to complete. The survey will be open from Monday, June 3 to Friday, June 14.

You can complete the survey here: https://www.research.net/r/monroe-parent-2019

In addition to feedback from our families, we also want to hear from our students. Therefore, we will be asking students in grades 4-12 to complete a similar survey during the school day between June 3-14. This survey will be administered by school staff.

We value your input as we strive to continue to improve our school. Thank you in advance for your important feedback!

The last of Talent Show rehearsals are next week - Tuesday 6/11, and Thursday 6/13 at 3:25. Please be sure that your student has a note on file with the office for the rehearsals if you haven't already done so.

The show is on Friday 6/14 @ 9:15 am.

Please join us to see all of the talents that our SWE students hold. It's going to be a great performance!

The health room is in need of new or gently used clothing of all sizes for elementary age students. If you have any clothing that your kiddo has outgrown that you would like to donate, we would greatly appreciate it! Also, if the health room has loaned your child any clothing, please return it washed and ready for the next time a student may need it.

Thank you,

Nurses~ Bianca, Felicia, and Pamela

The end of the school year is in sight! Please remember if you have medication in the health room for your child, it needs to be picked up by 1 pm on June 21st!! After that time, they will be disposed of. If this timeline does not work with your schedule, please contact Pamela Hyvonen at Hyvonenp@monroe.wednet.edu to make other arrangements.

Please also remember that if your child will be needing medication at school next year, you and your student’s provider will need to fill out new medication administration paperwork.

If you have any questions, feel free to call the Health Room at 360-804-3632.

Our 2019 Walk-a-Thon raised $16,653.08!

Is your child 11 years of age? If yes, beat the rush! Did you know that State law requires that all students entering 6th grade in the fall of 2019 must show proof a Tdap booster vaccine? There’s no need to wait! Vaccinations can be given as soon as your child turns 11 years old. Students must be in compliance with state immunization requirements prior to the first day of 6th grade. If your student has already gotten this vaccination, you can bring in a copy of that report to the office at any time. If you have any questions regarding middle school vaccination requirements, please contact our Health Room at (360) 804-3632.

Don't see a staff member at car-drop?... This is a good sign that your child is late for class.

If your child has an appointment or is arriving after 8:55 am, please be sure to sign your student into the office so they can get an admit slip. This is not only a safety measure but also how their attendance gets adjusted for the day.
