After seven months of listening, learning, and engaging with students, families, staff, and community members, Superintendent Paul Foster has released his Entry Plan Findings Report. The report highlights the strengths of Monson Public Schools, identifies key challenges, and outlines opportunities that will help guide the district’s future strategic planning.

As we head into Trimester 3, our focus continues to be on deep understanding — encouraging students to explain their thinking, persevere through challenges, and grow their confidence as independent learners. You’ll see that spirit reflected throughout this month’s highlights.

This month’s newsletter shares a message from Principal Penny Ann Manteria, celebrates our Student of the Month Superstars, and highlights learning taking place in Pre-K and Kindergarten. You’ll also find important reminders, upcoming ECC events, Counseling Corner updates, and Kindergarten screening information.
