Remote Learning Updates
Hello Mustangs. I am sure by now you have received notification that we are going remote to start the school year, which will at least last until the end of the 1st quarter. It is imperative that all parents/guardians contact information is updated within our system as email will be our primary method of communication to families. You should have received an email from me (the principal) on 8/10/2020 titled Remote Learning Updates. If you did not receive this communication, it is because your email is not updated, or you have unsubscribed at some point from our district being able to communicate with your through email. Please email clara.barnes@ops.org to update your current email or to re-subscribe to our email list and be sure to include the name or your student(s) and the email you wish to use.
We are in the process of completing our device distribution plan, which will be communicated later this week. We wanted to make sure that you are aware that every parent/guardian and student need to sign the iPad agreement form, which has an optional insurance package that is $20. If the form is not completed, you will not be able to pick up your device. I highly recommend that you purchase the insurance, but this is not a mandatory fee to have the iPad. The user agreement is attached and posted on our webpage, which can be printed and brought with you during the device pick up day. We will have more user agreements available onsite when you pick up the device if you do not have access to a printer. It is important to note that we still have 200 student laptops that are currently checked out to students and 5 hot spots that should be turned in so we can exchange your device with the new iPad.
Sorry we are not able to be with you in person, but we are looking forward to the opportunities we have with technology, so we will see you soon.
Mr. Dillon - Principal
Dear Monroe Families:
The health and safety of our students and staff is our priority. We care deeply about the well-being of our students and student-athletes. Regular visits with a physician is critical to be sure students are healthy and ready for athletic opportunities.
Pre-participation physicals will remain a requirement for the school year to come. We hope the visit is an opportunity to not only get required immunizations and complete a wellness check for athletics, but to also discuss precautions and opportunities to remain healthy throughout the school year.
