Payment: Paid directly to the teacher providing the tutoring

Teacher Selection: A list of MCDS teachers available for summer tutoring will be provided to you

Scheduling: Families will contact teachers directly to arrange tutoring sessions based on availability

Our teachers will begin developing their summer schedules and will be in contact as we get closer to summer.

Subject: Interest in Potential Transportation Option for 2026–2027

Dear MCDS Families,

Monroe Country Day School would like to gather your thoughts on the possibility of offering transportation from a central pick-up and drop-off location to the school in the morning and again after school.

This service would be offered at an additional monthly cost. At this time, we are exploring potential locations, with a focus on areas to the north and east of the school.

If this is something you may be interested in, please take a moment to complete the Jotform linked below. Your feedback will help us determine feasibility and next steps. We will keep you informed as we continue to explore this opportunity for the upcoming school year.

Thank you for your time and input.

Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher Ray

Sports Updates:

Our ESports team's season came to an end on Monday with a first round playoff loss to #2 Middletown High School (NY). Although the conclusion was disappointing, our team showed a lot of promise making the playoffs in our inaugural year. The future looks very bright. Next year we will be returning 5 of our six players including our MVP Austin Meyers. We will be losing our team captain senior Brant Carter but maybe he will return in some other role. We have a lot to be proud of and look forward to in the future. One last time, Go Eagles!

______________________________________

We’re proud to celebrate the success of our five Dual Enrollment students this term! Across 11 college-level courses, they earned an outstanding 9 A’s and 2 B’s. This achievement reflects their hard work, dedication, and commitment to academic excellence. Congratulations to our students and thank you to our families and teachers for their continued support!

Dual enrollment is an important opportunity because it allows students to earn college credit while still in high school, giving them a head start on their academic future. Students are challenged by college-level coursework, helping them build confidence, time-management skills, and independence. Dual enrollment also reduces the cost and time required to complete a college degree while giving students valuable experience navigating expectations beyond high school. Overall, it prepares students for postsecondary success by strengthening both academic skills and college readiness.

Visitor Praise:

"I want to thank you for receiving us so graciously at MCDS today. We really enjoyed presenting Paige Hood (National Citizen Education Teacher Award) and your school with those (long overdue) recognition awards.

Every one of us noted how well your students conducted themselves and how respectful they were. That's not a given nowadays and is attributable to your school leadership.

Once again, it's always a pleasure to see you and visit your school. MCDS has a unique character and atmosphere that is nothing like the sterile and industrial feel we get from other schools. Nobody notices this, until they visit your school. Then it's impossible to NOT notice it.

Most appreciatively,

Gregg Morrison, VFW 4180 Senior Vice Commander"

Instructional Updates:

Due to multiple issues with high school student phone use, we have instituted a high school cell phone policy:

To ensure a focused and distraction-free learning environment, cell phones are not permitted on campus during the school day.

No Phones on Campus: Students are prohibited from using, carrying, or displaying cell phones while on school property during school hours. This includes before school, during after-school dismissal, and at lunch. Students who drive to school should leave their phones at the front desk upon check-in; a designated box will be available for this purpose.
If Seen, Collected: Any phone seen or heard by staff will be collected and turned over to the administration.
Parent Pickup Required: Collected phones must be retrieved by a parent/guardian from the administrators.
Repeated Violations: Multiple infractions will result in referral to Dr. Ray.

This policy will take effect this week, and we appreciate your cooperation. As always, our goal is to protect instructional time and promote responsible use of technology.

MCDS Administration and High School Coordinator

Reminders:

As a reminder, at the end of the day, we line up on High School Avenue. Please refrain from approaching the school from Church Street to enter the school's driveway.

The afternoon pick-up usually takes about 20 minutes to complete. You can always arrive a little later at 3:00 pm and get right in line—just FYI. We usually complete pickup at 3:10 p.m.

If your child forgets something while loading, please pull off to the side and park. Have the student come back inside the building to retrieve the item. We've noticed that several students are going to the car and then returning to the building, which is causing delays in the line. Thank you for your cooperation.

Drop Off / Pick Up
Thank you for your excellent work with drop-off and pick-up. Please note that morning drop-off ends at 8:25 am. You will need to come to the front door and sign your child in after that time. Do not send your child to the side door.

For PM pick up, we are trying to load four cars at a time. Please pull up as far as you can; it would be appreciated. Don't stress if you need to buckle your child in; we have all been in that situation.

Monroe Country Day School Weekly Newsletter

A message from Dr. D

Welcome to a brand-new school year at Monroe Country Day School! It’s hard to believe, but for some of our students this marks their 10th year with us. Together, we’re celebrating a decade of excellence—ten years of small classes, hands-on learning, and a community built on respect, responsibility, and friendship.

Here’s what to expect as we get started:

Throughout the year, we’ll highlight our 10th-anniversary with special events and service opportunities—stay tuned!

How you can help:

Make sure your contact information is current.
Keep an eye on your inbox for school communications.
Reach out if you have questions—we’re here to help.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We’re honored to partner with you for a joyful, engaging, and successful year of learning.

6th and 7th-grade ELA are diving into Amplify reading and will soon be exploring the Amplify digital platform, which will complement day-to-day language arts activities.
Monroe Mondays kicked off with the 8th graders and a quick jaunt down to the Monroe-Walton Library with check-ins at the statues planted along the way.

Reminders:

Cell Phone Policy:

All cell phones should be turned off and placed in a student's backpack. Students should not access their phones during the school day. Please note that although we hate to do it, if phones are taken in class, we will call a parent to come retrieve it.

Drop Off / Pick Up:

Thank you for your patience and for helping us during the first few weeks of school as we work out our procedures. Please remember to line up on High School Avenue, Come across when it is clear and there is space for your vehicle. Do not block Church Street when dropping off or picking up. Also, do not pass cars on the right side during drop-off or pick-up. We have students who exit and load the vehicle on the passenger side. This is for their safety. Please make sure you have your car tag visible at pick up.

After 8:25 AM, you will need to park and come to the front office to sign your child in.

Headware (hats) : They should not be worn in the building. Please remove them before entering the building. Thanks for your help.
