💛 MEET MISTY SHETLEY 💛
Student Records Clerk | Monarch Elementary School
Misty will tell you she "just takes attendance." Don't believe her for a second. 😊
The Real Story:
Misty's title says "Student Records Clerk," but her job description is so much bigger. She's a cheerleader, a problem-solver, a shoulder to lean on, and apparently, an Uber driver when it matters most. One mom didn't have a ride to get her daughter to her 5K graduation—so Misty left work and picked them up off the side of the road. That's the MES way: everyone is welcome home.
What Keeps Her Coming Back:
After years as a PTO president at Monarch, Misty found her way into the district. Now she says MES is her "home" school—a place where everyone truly is welcome. And the proof is in the daily hugs: students line up every morning just to see her before class. That's not "just attendance." That's love.
Her Hidden Superpowers:
She became a mom figure to a parent who lost her own mother. Even after that family moved schools, Misty still checks on them. The mom tells her, "I love you. You've meant so much to me." 💕
She advocates fiercely for students and families, going far beyond her job description.
She handles it all with humor (even if she does mispronounce names at car line! 😄)
Her fuel? Alani's energy drinks, TikTok scrolling, and poolside Netflix binges—because she needs those recharge moments!
Her Growth:
When Misty arrived at MES, she was more defensive. But this school community changed her. "I don't have to be that way here," she says. Now she's less guarded and more open-hearted—and it shows.
Her Legacy:
"Someone who actually cared." That's it. That's the whole thing.
Her Advice:
"Get ready to do SO much more than attendance, but the payoff each day is pretty rewarding."
Misty Shetley proves that some of the most important work in a school happens at the front desk. 🙌
