Mrs. Rice TOY Top 10 Finalist!
CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Rice, one of our K4 teachers! She was nominated by staff as Monarch's Teacher of the Year for the 2025-2026 school year. Out of approximately 6,000 teachers, Mrs. Rice is one of the TOP 10 FINALISTS!
The Top 10 Finalists will be narrowed down to three finalists and the 2025-26 Greenville County Schools Teacher of the Year through in-person interviews and classroom observations. The 2025-26 Teacher of the Year will be announced on August 7.
Special thanks to our generous sponsor, Greenville Federal Credit Union, who provided a $100 Visa Gift Card, a beverage tumbler, and an umbrella to each of the Top 10 Teacher of the Year Finalists.
Kindergarten Summer Assessment
The Monarch Elementary Kindergarten teachers are holding two assessment days for incoming K5 students. The days for this assessment are July 14th and July 15th. Please click the Sign Up Genius link to sign your child up for a 20 minute slot. Teachers will be assessing the students in the library while you wait. Plan to arrive 5 minutes prior to your scheduled time. The teacher assessing your child will not necessarily be the teacher your child will have this fall. We are excited to meet you!
Summer Reading
Stick with Reading this summer with Monarch! Read May 23rd until the first day of school, August 8, 2025. Reading logs are due by August 23. Please click on the Summer Reading image for the Summer Reading Log and for more information on prizes and how long to read. Greenville County Public Libraries is also hosting a Summer Reading program. Earn more prizes by registering with these two programs. You don't have to read extra; what you read for Monarch will count for the extra program, too.
If you are a student going to middle school next year, please check out their summer reading program!
