Nestled just south of the town square, Monroe Middle School is a cornerstone of our community. With a welcoming atmosphere and a team of dedicated educators, MMS stands out as a place where students are encouraged to grow and thrive. Our commitment to academic excellence is matched by our focus on social development, ensuring that each student is well-prepared for future success. From innovative teaching methods to a variety of extracurricular activities, Monroe Middle School offers a nurturing and dynamic environment where every child can discover their potential and achieve their dreams.
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!
Middle school is a time of incredible transition. Students are discovering who they are, how they learn, and how to navigate friendships, challenges, and changes. There will be moments of frustration and confusion, as well as bursts of insight and triumph. Growth definitely does not happen in a straight line, but it does happen.
At MMS, we embrace this reality. It is not always smooth, but it is real life. That is why our mantra this year is, The Power of WE. It is a commitment by MMS staff to work together to support our learners through every loop and turn on their path to success. The Power of WE also extends far beyond our classrooms and hallways. It lives in the way we speak, support, and show up for one another on the playground, on the bus, at home, at practice, and out in the community. That’s why MMS is continuing to push our CHEESE expectations as a common language across all environments. When students hear and apply these values consistently, they build habits that last a lifetime. Whether they are collaborating with peers, showing kindness at home, or making smart choices online, CHEESE is not just a school expectation, it is a way of life. I am encouraging all of us--students, staff, families, friends and the community--to adopt this shared commitment and language.
Through the Power of WE and our CHEESE Expectations, we can help every student grow into the best version of themselves, everywhere they go. We recognize that every student, staff member, and family plays a vital role in building a culture where being present matters. Together, by encouraging consistent attendance and supporting one another with our common language, we can build the habits and connections that lead to success—not just at school, but in life.
We sincerely value your partnership in helping us launch the 2025–2026 school year with a strong and positive start. One of our key building goals is to achieve a 97% attendance rate, and we will be monitoring attendance daily during homeroom to help us stay on track. We recognize that consistent attendance can sometimes present challenges, and we are fully committed to working alongside students and families to overcome any barriers. If attendance concerns arise, we are more than willing to meet, problem-solve, and identify solutions together, because every student deserves the opportunity to start every day on time and ready to learn.
Warm regards,
Matt Brown
