Where Monclova citizens strive for educational excellence while becoming lifelong learners

At Monclova Primary School, first and foremost, we strive to create a safe, friendly, environment with experiences that will serve students well throughout their education and into the future,  With a staff the size of Monclova's there are many different areas of expertise and the common denominator is that all staff members care deeply about their students.  From the time students get off the bus they are greeted with warm smiles.  In order to make learning enjoyable, teachers plan child-centered lessons with hand-on activities, exciting discoveries, and the opportunity to incorporate technology as students master the content standards.  We offer very age-appropriate instruction, intervention for students who struggle, and we strive to keep our highest achieving students appropriately challenged.  Not only does Monclova have a well-educated staff knowledgeable in content and child development, we offer more.  For example,, we have fun-filled art classes that go beyond paper and pencil, including ceramics and glass.  There is a musical performance for students at every grade level and Track & Field Day in the Spring is a favorite among students.  All-in-all, the success can be seen on the faces of the students, in the compliments received from parents, and the state consistently recognizes Monclova Primary as either "Excellent" or "Excellent with Distinction."  Lastly, a character program lead by the school's counselor is a part of the education experience for all students.
