2020-2021 Phase 2 Transition Plan

​We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to develop and update our return to school plan. Below you will find our Phase 2 Transition Plan. Please read through it carefully and complete the survey that will determine the final learning platform choice for each of your children for the first nine weeks. The survey should be completed no later than Sunday, Aug. 2nd. 


2020-2021 Phase 1 Transition Plan

Phase 1 of our back to school plan can be viewed by clicking on the Phase 1 Transition Plan tab below.  Please remember that as guidelines change, so will the plan. Fine details and daily procedures/schedule will be released on July 31st. Parents will have the option of in-person instruction or remote learning. 

Highlights from Phase 1 Transition Plan:

In Person Instruction 
  • Approximately 8:05-1:30 each day
  • Some subjects such as PE and Technology may be assigned as remote learning tasks to complete at home  
When students are sick from school they would transition to Remote Instruction to receive make-up work for that duration before returning to school


Remote Learning
  • The first window of Remote Learning will be for 9 weeks. After the 9 weeks, students will be allowed to re-evaluate their choice
  • Students will log-in each morning for attendance and begin remote learning 
  • Teacher "office hours" to answer questions or provide assistance is between 1:30-3:00 on select days and by email.  
Remote Learning instruction may be a combination of physical materials and digital instruction. Physical materials will be available for pick-up through the vestibule as needed on Fridays for the following week. 

A Small School with Big Opportunities 

Niche.com offers rankings, reviews, and statistics for more than 120,000 public and private K-12 schools. Niche combines rigorous analysis with authentic reviews to highlight the best schools. They just released the 2020 best public schools in Illinois, and the best public schools and teachers in the Peoria area. Monroe made all of those lists!  Everyday is a GREAT day to be a FLYER!!

We live in a global economy that requires our students to be prepared to think both critically and creatively, evaluate massive amounts of information, solve complex problems, and communicate well. A strong foundation in reading, writing, math, and other core subjects is still as important as ever, yet by itself is insufficient for lifelong success.At Monroe, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is part of everyday learning.  By exposing our students to STEM and giving them opportunities to explore STEM-related concepts, we are enabling them to acquire 21st century skills helping them become global competitive citizens.

Students at Monroe participate in General classroom music from Kindergarten through 4th grade.  Beginning in 5th grade, students have the choice to participate in Band or Choir.  From 6th-8th grade, these options expand to include Jazz Band, Pep Band, and Advanced Vocal Ensembles.  Music students are constantly being engaged through classroom learning as well as public performance at concerts, festivals, contests, clinics, and community service events such as athletic events and performing at fundraisers.  The Monroe Music program receives incredible support from our school and community and services over 50% of the Junior High student population.  In 2018, Monroe finished a renovation on our music facilities to combine two existing classrooms into a larger rehearsal space to better accommodate the larger groups.  In this new space, individual instrument lockers were installed for students and three practice room spaces for individual and small group work.
