Hello Rivercat Families. I am Ms. Martinez your assistant principal. It has been wonderful to be here at Monroe Elementary this far. Thank you for welcoming me to your family here at Monroe. I have been with the district for over 25 years.  We look forward to seeing you at one of our many opportunities for parent/family engagement. Such as, Parent Coffee, School Site Counsel (SSC) Renaissance Assemblies and English Learner Advisor Committee (ELAC). We appreciate your involvement in all aspects of student development and growth!

Two of my main goals are to maintain a safe environment for staff and students and hold high expectations for student behavior and learning in school.  We will be implementing and strengthening our PBIS strategies to support our efforts in helping our staff and students engage in positive experiences in our “new normal.”  Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports, or PBIS, will be the foundation of our behavior system.  This simply means we will motivate students to learn and follow rules and procedures through the use of incentives, emotional support, following research-based system frameworks, and online learning supports.

I hope that 2022-23 is filled with many successes.

Always remember to PROWL: have a Positive attitude, be Respectful and thoughtful, Obey the rules and be safe and responsible, Work towards your goals, Lead the pack with integrity.
