This is a blog for the PTO of Monticello Middle School, Longview, WA (Washington.) That will hopefully bring any parents Googling "Monticello Middle School" here.
One of the biggest complaints heard from the parents of our students is that communication falls off at the middle school level. I think posting the information on the internet could be one way of addressing that problem.
6th grade orientation takes place on Monday, August 28, from 1:00 to 6:00 pm. PTO involvement at orientation will be selling PE uniforms and spiritwear. I was at the school on Friday helping to pass out 8th grade schedules, and many of the 7th and 8th grade parents were interested in purchasing PE uniforms. There should be more than enough to go around, but we are allowing the incoming 6th grade students the opportunity to purchase them first. They will be available to everyone else beginning on the first day of school, Tuesday, August 29.
