This morning we learned that school districts across our state and nation are receiving anonymous “swatting calls” referencing active shooter situations in schools. Swatting calls are calls made to law enforcement or directly to a school. These calls are an attempt to trigger the dispatch of emergency services to a particular address with the intention to cause the greatest amount of chaos. 
As of this email, no schools in our district have received any of the swatting calls being reported in other districts. If a threat were to be called into one of our schools, we would treat it as a real threat and follow emergency response procedures as every threat must be treated as real until law enforcement can conclude otherwise. Please know, all students and staff are safe and learning continues as normal in our schools at this time. 
I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. Thank you for your continued support of the Monticello Community School District.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
The Iowa Department of Public Health requires all students entering 12th grade to have the Meningococcal vaccine before school starts this fall on August 23, 2023.
Meningococcal disease is a life-threatening illness that is caused by bacteria that infects the brain, blood and spinal cord. It easily spreads in crowded settings and typically in older teens and young adults.
All students entering 12th grade must have proof of receiving TWO doses of the Meningococcal vaccine; or one dose if dose was received at 16 years of age or older. The vaccination must be done and paperwork handed into the office by 3:15 pm on August 18, 2023, unless the student has a Certificate of Immunization Exemption.
There will be NO grace/extension period for the requirement.
If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 319-465-3000 ext. 1327 or jodi.heinrich@monticello.k12.ia.us.
Thank you for your time and attention to this requirement.

Monticello High School Nurse

Our Athletic Boosters are an incredible support to all of our athletic programs.  For years this group has given time and funding to our athletic programs and have always been run on parent volunteer support. The biggest fundraiser for the Athletic Boosters each year is running the concession stands for our high school games. The number of volunteers for the concession stand is down and they need your help.  Working in the concession stand can be a fun way to meet other people and to help contribute to our school and sports programs. 
If you, or your high school aged student, is interested in volunteering some time in one of our concession stands this year, please fill out this ​survey and the Athletic Boosters will be in contact with you.  High school students can earn silver service hours for their participation. If you have students that participate in athletics, it is a great way for you to give back to the school and those programs in a fun way.
Thanks for your consideration!
Brian Jaeger, Superintendent

I am sending this email to be proactive in addressing an issue that has made an appearance in our school district recently.  You may or may not know that the phrase, “Let’s Go Brandon” has become a part of our pop culture over the last few weeks.  The phrase comes from an interview with a NASCAR driver in which the reporter thought the crowd was chanting, “Let’s Go Brandon” in the background.  The crowd was actually chanting, “F*** Joe Biden”.  It is easy information to find online and common knowledge that the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” displayed on anything means, “F*** Joe Biden”.  This phrase is not appropriate at school, just as any inappropriate language or other displays of inappropriate meanings are not allowed at school.  
To be very clear, this is not a political statement.  Students are allowed to wear clothing or display phrases that support any political party or candidate.  They just can't wear clothing with something on it that is inappropriate for school and disruptive to the educational program.  Students wearing something with this phrase on it will be asked to change clothes, turn it inside out, or wear something over it, before returning to class.  Any repeated offenses will be considered a defiance of authority and the student will receive school consequences.
Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
Dr. Brian Jaeger, Superintendent

The elementary students have been working hard at home during online learning but have also been very creative. Students were given the option to create a book character out of a toilet paper tube and craft supplies at home. Check out this slideshow with photos of some great creations that were submitted.  Click HERE to view the slideshow photos.
