  • Health District alert at Salem Woods Elementary – Today Snohomish Health District officials ordered Salem Woods Elementary School students to stay home if not fully vaccinated to prevent Chickenpox. Students can return to school with written proof of vaccination or immunity.

    Rising reports of children with chicken pox prompted this action    . At this time there is no action ordered for other schools.

    We understand the inconvenience for families but hope we all agree that the health of our community’s children is the top priority. For more information about the Health District’s order, the chickenpox illness, or the vaccine please use this link to Salem Woods Elementary School website.

  • 2009-2010 school budget work begins – Monroe school leaders are launching their annual community budget work on Nov. 18. This year with a looming shortfall anticipated in the state budget, we are working to plan ahead for any drop in state support. Of course, just like with your family costs continue to rise. It is always healthy to look for ways to economize further. Those interested in joining in as a partner in this effort may contact Dr. Ken Hoover, superintendent of schools.

  • Winter begins to blow – Be the first to know when winter weather has made school schedules change by signing up for the email alert system. Before the first snow falls double check the limited bus routes for your neighborhood.

Welcome to our new Community Notices webpage. This page is designed to help families have the information they need when they need it. I don’t know about you but there have been many times I saved a flyer to refer to later but then never could remember where I put it. Hopefully this new process will help.

Our school newsletters will highlight new postings twice a month. Our goal is to refresh this page at the start of each month and then again in the middle of the month. This is definitely a work in progress so please let us know your suggestions for improvement.

If your organization is interested in taking advantage of this new process, please complete the Request for Distribution form and return it to the Superintendent’s Office.
