PES had a great first day of school. 🏴☠️❤️
JMHS welcoming students and introducing faculty for the first day of school!
Reminder: If your child is in 7/12 grade they must have proof of their required immunizations. If you aren't sure, call your nurse or check the student portal. Any student with emergency medication must have new 24-25 year orders and medication at school to keep them safe and therefore are required to have that today.
A few more successes of our 23-24 school year! Teacher with the largest growth in test proficiency and some of our excellence in education educators.
Today Monroe County celebrated the successes of the 23-24 school year as we prepare for our students to arrive in a few days. We celebrated teachers, bus drivers, cooks, secretaries, custodians, and service personnel of the year. We are privileged to have a dedicated staff.
If your child has medications, medication orders, immunization records, well child's or dental exams to turn in to the nurse you are welcome to bring them to open house today at your child's school from 4-7pm. Nursing staff will be present to collect them.
Good evening, this is just a reminder that on Tuesday, August 20 there will be open house at all schools in Monroe County. The time is from 4 to 7. You can come out and meet your child's teacher. We would love to see you. Also, James Monroe will be hosting freshman Academy.

Reminder for new student enrollment
Did you know every student needs an updated Emergency Care Form each school year? Did you know if your child is a new enrollee or entering grades PreK, K, 7, or 12th grade they need to submit an updated shot record, well child within the last 12 months, and dental exam in the last 12 months? Did you know if your child has any medications that will be needed at school, they must have updated orders each school year? Did you know Monroe Health Center is open in your child's school for visits if you have a signed consent form? Did you know Kilcollin Dental performs dental screenings for any student with a consent form? All these forms can be picked up and questions can be asked at the upcoming agency fair from Jessie Thomas, BSN, RN, NCSN on August 8, 2024 at James Monroe.
