Nestled just south of the town square, Monroe Middle School is a cornerstone of our community. With a welcoming atmosphere and a team of dedicated educators, MMS stands out as a place where students are encouraged to grow and thrive. Our commitment to academic excellence is matched by our focus on social development, ensuring that each student is well-prepared for future success. From innovative teaching methods to a variety of extracurricular activities, Monroe Middle School offers a nurturing and dynamic environment where every child can discover their potential and achieve their dreams.
Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!
Middle school is a time of incredible growth and transition. Students are discovering who they are, how they learn, and how to navigate friendships, challenges, and change. There will be moments of frustration and uncertainty, along with exciting breakthroughs and successes. Growth rarely happens in a straight line, but it always happens through perseverance, support, and meaningful relationships.
At Monroe Middle School, we embrace this journey. Our staff is committed to building strong, positive relationships with every student and partnering closely with families to support them through every twist and turn along the way. We believe that students thrive when the adults in their lives work together with a shared purpose and common language.
That common language is found in our CHEESE Expectations. These expectations guide how we treat one another, make decisions, solve problems, and contribute to our school community. When students hear, see, and practice these values consistently at school, at home, and throughout our community, they develop habits and character traits that extend far beyond the classroom. CHEESE is more than a school-wide expectation. It is a foundation for becoming respectful, responsible, and caring individuals wherever life takes them.
Together, through strong relationships and a shared commitment to our CHEESE Expectations, we can help every student become the very best version of themselves. Every student, staff, family, and community member plays an important role in creating a culture where everyone feels connected, valued, and supported.
We sincerely value your partnership as we begin the 2026–2027 school year. If challenges arise, please know that we are committed to partnering with you to identify solutions and provide the support your child needs to be successful. Together, we can help every student feel safe, welcomed, and ready to learn each day.
Respectfully,
Matt Brown & Lindsay Dahmen

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.
