We have an early release on Friday (01/14) and the schedule for Friday will be out by Wednesday evening (01/12). There will be no school on Monday (01/17) in observance of Martin Luther King Day; and the first semester will conclude on Friday (01/21).

This meeting will take place in the MA Library at 5:30pm on Tuesday (01/11). If your schedule permits, I’d love to have your participation!

Yearbook Update (from Dr. Ross): Hello Senior Parents and Families! Each year the Monmouth Academy yearbook offers parents the chance to create a personal ad, otherwise known as a Personal Display of Affection (PDA), that will show up in the yearbook. You can add however many pictures and messages that will fit to congratulate or recognize your student. You have the option to design the ad yourself or to submit photos and messages to me and we will create an ad for you. All PDAs will be sent to you for approval before publication. Materials and payment are due by February 14.
You can order your PDA by emailing me (eross@kidsrsu.org); sending information and money into the school; or going online and searching for Monmouth Academy and choosing to create a personal ad (https://yearbookforever.com). You can design your own PDA or submit photos and messages for the yearbook staff to design it for you.
We offer the following sizes:
Full Page = $150 (up to 24 photos)
Half Page = $80 (up to 12 photos)
Quarter Page = $50 (up to 6 photos)
Eighth Page = $30 (up to 3 photos)
Let me know if you have any questions or would like to order a PDA today!
