Monroe Elementary School
Value the Past. Invest in Today. Elevate the Future.
What a wonderful morning celebrating Grandparents/Special Friend Day at Monroe Elementary! 💙 We had an amazing turnout, enjoyed plenty of donuts and drinks, and had fun with our donut-themed stations. A big thank you to all who were able to join us for this special Monroe tradition—we loved seeing so many smiles and connections across generations!
Don't forget that Friday morning from 8:10-8:40 is Grandparent's/Special Friend Day at Monroe Elementary. Just a reminder that if students are attending, they should ride with their grandparent/special friend to the event and students will stay afterwards for a typical school day. Thank you!
Our One Word: CONNECT
This year, we’re focusing on building stronger relationships, learning, and community — so every student, family, and staff member feels a true sense of belonging.

We had the best morning with the JAHS band at Monroe! 🎶 Our students love this tradition every year. The high schoolers even squeezed in a little playground time, and Mr. Polston got to enjoy a sweet moment seeing his daughter. 💚
“Smiles, backpacks, laughter — that’s how we connect. 📚”

Another new face at Monroe Elementary this year is Marissa Downey. Mrs. Downey will be an Intervention Specialist at Monroe Elementary. We are excited to have her as part of the Monroe team!
A special thank you to some Monroe students who started off our district convocation this morning with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Another new face at Monroe Elementary this year is Alicia Shelley! Mrs. Shelley will be working with our Monroe students in the areas of Library and Innovation. We’ve made some exciting changes to library time—students will still enjoy listening to a story and checking out books, but now they will also take part in innovation lessons that spark creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning.
Another new face you will see around Monroe Elementary is Emma Patterson. Miss Patterson will be our new 2nd grade teacher. We are excited for the energy that Miss Patterson is bringing to Monroe.
We are excited to have Michelle Hammer officially join the Monroe Staff. Last year, Mrs. Hammer was our long term substitute in the nurse's clinic but this year she will be a full time employee. Welcome to Monroe Elementary, Mrs. Hammer!

After hearing from JAHS students about the impact of Agricultural Education & FFA, our district leaders toured the Madison County Fair on July 7th!
They met amazing Alder students who shared their fair roles — from animal care to leadership duties. So proud of their dedication and hard work!
Thanks to everyone who made the visit meaningful.
