Hello Monterey Park Families
WELCOME BACK to another school year! Kelly and I are excited to be looking ahead to another fall of learning, cultural connection and growing our tiny humans.
Please respond to this email if your child will NOT be attending MPS for the 2025-26 school year. We are busy looking at our student numbers and need to make sure we have staff in place to offer our best learning supports. When you respond, please let us know your child’s name and the new school they will be attending. And…we will miss you!
Please note our new school hours. There have been slight changes to bell times. See information below.
If your child will be taking the school bus, please use this link to register ASAP.
Our first School Council meeting will be held on Sept 18 at 6pm at the school. There will be an online link and babysitters available. More information to follow.
Parents are invited to have a coffee and conversation in the learning commons after dropping students off on the First Day of School. 9:13-9:45.
