There is a major problem with the students playing in the traffic in the drop off lanes and no one seems to care. Teachers come on duty at 7:45 so I was told but the kids are there earlier then that unsupervised, knocking smaller children down and running wild. Parents need written guidelines for dropping

Although there are several teachers at Monahan that truly are interested in student learning, the overall school environment is very negative. I agree with the other parent about the dress code situation. I have never seen a school that puts so much more effort into enforcing dress code instead of academics.
