At the Board meeting on Monday night, the Board approved the appointment of Mr. Nick Schauf as High School Principal starting July 1, 2021. We are very excited to have him join our Panther family! Here is a little note from him:
I am really excited about joining Panther Nation. My family consists of my very talented wife Jenni who is also an educator and coach. We have three children: Conley who is currently in 7th grade, Landry in 4th grade, and Elise in 2nd grade. We are a very active family that encourages our kids to participate in many things. I grew up in Maquoketa and played against Monticello during high school back in the Big Bend days. My wife graduated from Tipton, so we are both familiar with the area. We look forward to raising our kids in a similar environment that we both grew up in. I enjoy cheering on the Bears, Cubs, Iowa Hawkeyes, and Duke Blue Devils.
At our Board of Education meeting last night, the Board approved a plan for the old Middle School building. After months of deliberation we think that the plan gives consideration to several elements that the community has showed an interest in. We really appreciate all of the input we have received from community members during and after our community meetings. Going forward we feel following this plan is our best option. The full plan is attached. Thank you for the continued support of the Monticello Community School District. Brian Jaeger, Superintendent Old Middle School Facilities Plan

In accordance with the new law that was passed on Jan. 29, the Board of Education approved an amended school calendar for the remaining of this school year at their meeting last night. The law that was passed requires school districts to provide parents with the option to send their children to school in-person full-time.
The revised calendar is below. We will continue to offer online learning for those currently using this model for all or part of the day. However, in-person learning will be increased from 80% in our current model to 100% in our new model. The change will be with the Wednesday schedule as we will be attending in-person on Wednesdays from 8am-Noon. In the afternoon on Wednesdays, the teaching staff will be participating in professional development and continuing to design and upload online lessons for our online learners. No online learning will take place for any students on Wednesday afternoons.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call or send me an email.
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we navigate through this school year!

Monticello Schools
Please welcome our new Middle School Principal, Todd Werner! Todd started in his new role yesterday. See his note below. I am very excited to be joining the Monticello Team and look forward to getting started. I was the 7-12 Principal at Belle Plaine for 7 years and prior to that I was the 7-12 Principal at WACO for four years. Before going into Administration I was a Physical Education teacher in the Linn-Mar School District at Wilkins Elementary for nine years and also spent time as a physical education and social studies teacher at Northeast Hamilton for four years and as a teacher at Wellsburg-Steamboat Rock to start my career. Throughout my career I’ve also served as a Head Boys Basketball coach and Head Girls Basketball Coach at the high school level and also served as an Assistant Women's Basketball Coach at Coe College. I’ve also coached track, golf, and football. Outside school, I spend as much time as possible doing outdoor activities like golf, hunting, and fishing. Although I may lack true skill and knowledge, I also enjoy do it yourself projects around the home. In the little remaining time I have, I also have worked as a radio broadcaster for high school basketball and football. I even had the privilege of traveling with the Iowa Hawkeye Women’s Basketball team as the radio color analyst a few years ago. My wife Paula and I have three kids; Colin (16), Brent (14), and a daughter Kendall (11) who are each very active and we love supporting them in all their activities. I look forward to meeting everyone very soon! Todd
