Parents,
Recently we shared a request for assistance from you. We asked your help when dropping off your student(s), in the mornings at Monroe, that you do not block any driveways while you are waiting your turn to move forward and let your child(ren) out.
We were notified today by the Casey Police Department that they will begin monitoring this situation and potentially giving tickets to those in violation of blocking private drives.
Please help us by making sure that you allow for all driveways along the south side of Monroe street between Rt 49 and the school to remain open and clear. We appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Monroe Elementary Parents:

Monroe Parents:
Wooowhooo! We have made it through the first full week of school and things are running very smoothly. As we have adjusted, we have found we need to share some information with you. If you are arriving at Monroe after 8:05, please have your child enter the building at the Main office door (A) as the gym lobby doors are locked at 8:05 am.
Also, please don't drop your children off at Monroe before 7:40 as there is no supervision prior to doors opening at 7:45. If your children walk to school, please practice timing so they arrive between 7:45 - 8:05 am.
Thanks again for all you do!
Parents:
When dropping off students or picking them up at Monroe, please be aware and considerate of the driveways along the route. We don't want to block people in when they need to get out for work or other reasons. Thanks so much.
