Reserve Mount Monarch for 2013-2014
Mount Monarch Sign-Up Form
Our school spirit rock has already become a favorite tradition. Mount Monarch dates are available for July 2013-June 2014. Due to the spirit rock's popularity, now is the best time to go to select your dates for your special someone.  You now have the option to pay with PayPal.

Learning Environment Input for 2013-2014
All Monarchs receive a quality education in every classroom and with every teacher. As professional educators, the administration at Monarch Elementary strongly relies on the input of our teachers when deciding the placement of students. We also take into consideration a variety of factors, including but not limited to academic and social concerns, total class size, male/female ratio and heterogeneous grouping. We recognize that parents sometimes desire an opportunity to give input into their child's learning environment. As a result, we make this option available with our Learning Environment Input Form through June 5, 2013. Parents may request a particular classroom environment but not a particular teacher.

Educational Extenders (Monarch's Extended Day Program)
WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR. 
EDP Enrollment Forms for 2013-2014
