Learning Environment


A credentialed library-media teacher, paid aide, and student and parent volunteers staff a fully automated library which contains 10,000 books, many periodicals, and a professional library.

Ready to meet the challenges of education is a professional staff of a principal, 25 regular credentialed teachers, two special education teachers, and a support staff of health assistant, speech therapist, child guidance counselor, instrumental music teacher, librarian, and psychologist. Supporting the professional staff are 15 instructional aides, three office personnel, three custodians, three cafeteria workers, and part-time grounds and building maintenance workers. PTA and a cadre of parent volunteers complete the education team at Monroe.

The school has a positive relationship with UCSB, Westmont College, Chapman College, Cal State Northridge, and Cal Poly SLO. There are often more than ten student teachers contributing their energy, resources, and expertise to our program.
