REPORT CARDS / ACADEMIC RECORDS
The Board of Directors of Monroe Christian School has established the policy that we do not release Report Cards, nor transfer academic records, when there is an outstanding balance on an account.  Please make sure your tuition, E-care, sports fees, library fees, etc. are current by Wednesday, June 7, so that we can send report cards home on Friday. Thank you!
PIZZA FRIDAY
TAPP is serving up pizza for lunch on Friday!  If you have already prepaid for the year, your child is covered.  If you have not prepaid but would like your child to have pizza on Friday, please send $3 (one slice) or $5 (two slices) to the classroom teacher before the 8:30 bell Friday.  You are welcome to send a packed lunch instead of buying pizza, but the students will only receive pizza if they have paid.  The cost includes a Capri Sun and dessert.
