Dear parents and families,

It is so hard to believe that we only have one more week left of this school year with our students. What a memorable year it has been, that’s for sure!
 
Our Zoom meetings with students will finish up this week. As of now, learning will resume on August 20th. Our Superintendent, Dr. Miller has created a task force of staff, parents, and community members that will virtually meet over the summer to develop a plan for what school will look like in the fall. 
 
A year ago this week, I was hired as the principal of Montrose. It has been an honor and I am truly so grateful for the opportunity. I have loved getting to know the staff, our families, and each of our students. What a wonderful place to be! Thank you for a great year and I am really looking forward to next year!
Have a wonderful week!
 
Stay healthy, Montrose!
Smiles and virtual hugs,
Melissa K-L

A NOTE FROM MRS. REISER

All students will get their artworks from this school year in the fall when they students return to school, except for our fifth grade students. Only fifth-grade families that request to have their child's artwork returned will have it ready for pick up on the designated pick up days on May 28th and 29th. 

If you would like your 5th graders artwork returned please email me at [email protected] so I can have it ready for you. If you are unable to make those times, please let me know and I will make arrangements with you for an alternate time.
