Good afternoon Mustangs and
families,
We hope that everyone is well and taking care of themselves and their
family. We wanted to take a moment to share some additional information
with you concerning instructional materials, food and parent resources.
We have created an optional, self-directed learning activity for your children to
participate in. It is linked here
and is available on our website under “Featured Links.” This material will also
be available in paper form at Monticello High School’s food distribution site.
Beginning on March 26, subject-specific learning activities will be available.
There are many questions that you have and we may, or may not have answers. In
anticipation of these concerns, we have included a link here
for students and families to make inquiries through a google form. Again,
we may not have answers to all your questions, but we will answer all
submissions to the best of our ability and post them on a link called’
FAQs,which is available on our website under “Featured Links.”
All school planned activities have been canceled until further notice.
Food for our Community:

lunch, to all students and their siblings, 18 years of age or younger. The
meals will be available each weekday between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in the
