Monroe Yearbooks - Last Call for Orders and Personalized Pages!

3/29/2024 6:28 pm

Order your yearbook today! LAST CHANCE! We have re-opened the ordering window through Monday, April 1st.

We've worked hard to capture as many moments as possible in this year's yearbook and we know all Mustangs are going to love it. 

Get started by creating your free Treering account (or if you have one, log in and follow the ordering prompts. Don't forget to add new students!).

Parents with an EXISTING Treering account:

  1. Login to your account on treering.com
  2. On the left side menu you will see your students, click in that section to 'buy yearbook'
  3. If you need to add a new student (i.e. Kindergartener), Go Under "Kids", "Settings", and "Add Kid"

NEW MONROE FAMILIES without a Treering account:

  1. Visit treering.com/validate
  2. Enter our school code 1014404412984041
  3. Follow prompts to set up your account and order

Personalized pages are also available - your book includes two free pages for you to personalize with your photos and your memories. It takes about 10 minutes to add photos and complete the two free custom pages included with your yearbook. Personalized pages are totally optional but if you love them and want more than two, you can add additional pages for $0.99 for each set of two pages. You can get as simple or as fancy as you'd like - just follow the prompts to create. Personalized pages are also due April 1st.

Please note that we are not able to order printed books to have 'on hand' for purchase at the end of the school year - if you do not order through Treering by April 1st, your student will not have a yearbook. Please contact Treering directly with any issues with ordering/personalized page creation at (877) 755-8733.

Special Meeting 3/19/24

3/29/2024 6:26 pm

Thanks to all who attended the PTO special meeting on 3/19/24.

Staff Appreciation requested an extra $2,500 in order to better fund their committee throughout the rest of the year; at the meeting, all attendees voted unanimously to approve.

Did you know that the Staff Appreciation serves a themed lunch to the Monroe staff once a month? This is in addition to different efforts to support teachers throughout the year, and making Staff Appreciation week in May as special as they can.

Thanks to stellar fundraising this year, we were able to fund this initiative! Thank you Monroe community, and thank you Monroe teachers for all you do!
