Select "Join a Team with a Code" Put in this code "fqc9x1q" Once you are in, follow the directions on the General Posts page. 🙂 I hope you are able to join us for another year! Students please make sure your parents/guardians know that if you did not complete a lunch application yet, you will be returning to full pay. Even though some are remote right now and others will be starting in-person learning, it is possible that we may switch back to all in person learning in the future - and this could be an unnecessary cost for your family. This can also affect families participating in the Meals2Go program - you will go to full pay if your lunch application has not been completed. Families can apply online in the OPS website or can stop by school and pick up an application (see below for more information). Students, we are NOT cancelling your classes - this is either a glitch or something that we are not fully understanding on our end. If you are seeing that a class is not available or cancelled, please attempt to find it through Teams/Outlook. If you cannot find your class, contact your teacher or counselor for help. Each day you have PE, you should have 5 classes; on days without PE, you should have 4 classes. Office hours are optional and are for you to speak to teachers/counselors, if needed. Please remember, while in Remote Classes, refrain from overusing or using the chat feature for personal conversations during class. This is intended for appropriate classroom discussions. If you have any problems with or questions about your schedule, please email your grade level counselor: 6th Grade - mary.feldman@ops.org 7th Grade - karina.loder@ops.org 8th Grade - laura.haynes@ops.org Are you interested in getting breakfasts and lunches from school? OPS has the Meals 2 Go Program up and running! In order to make sure the District has a correct count on how many families would like to take advantage of this option, a parent/guardian must order the meals here: https://ops.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cCrpl0U2cb4YIGp Meals will be picked up from 8:30-9:30 am on Monday (for Monday and Tuesday meals) and Wednesday (for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday meals). Families can pick up from any location that would be easiest for pick up (could be an elementary school down the street instead of Monroe). If you are having issues with ordering, email ResearchDivision@ops.org OR call Nutrition Services at 531-299-0230. NEW 6th Grade Schedule... New 7th Grade Schedule... New 8th Grade Schedule... Birthday Shout Outs: Since we can't do our normal locker signs to recognize birthdays at this point this year, why not help recognize you in our announcements!? Happy Birthday to each and every one of the following students... Today, October 26th.. Kaailyah L.F. (7B) Tommy S.S. (6B) Terrence S.S. (6A) A Little Randomness: Today is Pumpkin Day! There’s one thing that represents October more than anything else, and it’s not Halloween (though it’s involved). That thing? The pumpkin. It starts appearing on shelves and farmers market’s stands on the last week or two of September and is the herald that lets you know that Pumpkin Pies, Jack-o-Lanterns, and all the joys of fall are just around the corner. Pumpkin Day celebrates these noble squash’s, and the history and tradition tied up in their iconic orangeness. Today's Bit of Inspiration: “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Ryun Have a marvelous In Person/Remote Monday at Monroe!!! October 26, 2020 By Karina Loder Daily Bulletin 0 Comment Read More >>
