ParentSquare

All schools in our district use ParentSquare for school communication primarily with email, text, and app notifications.

ParentSquare automatically syncs with our student information system to generate an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

ParentSquare is a safe, secure, and modern approach to communication and collaboration between school and home. Learn more and get started today by viewing our ParentSquare web page.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School has a very active Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) that is a vital support system for our school, fostering collaboration between community members, parents, teachers, and administration to enhance the educational experience for students. We meet once a month in the evening to plan and organize different activities. Our PTO organizes fundraising events to support the school with field trips, resources that teachers need, supplies for family nights, books for our vending machine, and more! The PTO also shows appreciation by celebrating staff during Staff Appreciation Week, which helps to build a connection between parents and staff.

The School District of Monroe follows a Response to Intervention (RtI) or Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) framework in both academic achievement and social-emotional learning that focuses on early intervention, a tiered system of interventions, and consistent monitoring of data to measure the effectiveness of our curriculum and instruction.  Abraham Lincoln Elementary feels that social-emotional learning is just as important as academic achievement and utilizes a positive behavioral approach, known as PBIS, that includes teaching our school expectations, building community, and acknowledging positive choices. All of our school rules revolve around the three expectations: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe.
