* Students should have received a chromebook today at school but if they didn't, call the school tomorrow to schedule an appointment to pickup a chromebook.

Parent/Guardian or Student can pick-up meals with the student’s lunch number.
A cold meal for Friday will be given with Thursday’s hot meal.
This option offers the best and most nutritious meals for our students.

Cold Meal Delivery
Available Monday - Thursday from 7:00 AM- 9:00 AM.
Cold meals will be delivered every other day.
Enough meals will be given to cover multiple days.

If you have more than one student in the MCSD and they attend different schools, choose one school and pick-up meals at that school for each of your children. This will allow parents to make only one stop to pick up meals rather than having to stop at multiple schools.

Community Hubs will not be an option at this time.

Monroe County Schools
Plans for school closure from March 16-27, 2020

Food Service
Beginning March 16th meals will be served at each school from 7:30am-12:30pm. There will be a designated area to pick up grab and go meals. Students may receive two meals a day.

There will be stations throughout the county for meal drop-offs. Meal drop-offs will be at fire departments throughout the county.

Athletics
KHSAA has suspended all sports and practice until April 13th. Visit KHSAA website for more information.
All athletic facilities will be closed during this time.

Monroe County Wellness Center
Currently, the 24 hour access to the gym will remain open. However, all rentals for groups have been postponed after spring break (April 6-10).
If members choose to use the gym at the WC, clean the equipment with the products provided before and after use.

Wee Care Daycare
Currently, Wee Care Daycare will remain open. Each child will be screened each morning by taking their temperature. If a child has a temperature above 99 degrees, they will not be allowed to stay at daycare until they have been without fever for more than 24 hours.

Facilities
Rentals will not be permitted during the closure. Therefore, if you have rented a cafeteria or gym, you will need to reschedule the event for after spring break.

Instructional Practices
Each school will have a survey available online via their website and Facebook page asking parents to let us know if their child has access to technology to be able to do their work online or if their student needs a paper copy of the assignments. Once we have gathered this information, we will devise a plan to ensure the instructional needs of all students are being met.

Wee Care Daycare will be closed beginning Monday March 16-27th. We had hoped to remain open but under the direction of the Governor we believe it is best to close. Thank you for understanding during these difficult times.

High Attendance Day

Thursday, September 20, 2018

The Kentucky Directors of Pupil Personnel have designated Thursday, September 20^th as statewide “High Attendance Day” to emphasize that consistent attendance is essential for success in school. This date is set aside to assist with working to increase student attendance because we know that students who are at school on time have a higher success rate than those who aren't.

On High Attendance Day, Kentucky’s public elementary, middle and high schools may compete in small-school or large-school categories. Six winners will be determined statewide based on each individual school’s performance, regardless of its district’s showing. The school in each category with the highest percentage attendance for September 20 will receive a minimum $500. If the school has more than 500 students, the award will increase based on enrollment.

The Monroe County School District would like to welcome our newest school resource officer, Officer Kenny Hagan.  Officer Hagan has many years of police officer experience and during his career, he has served as a school resource officer.  Adding additional law enforcement on our school campuses will provide an even safer learning environment for our students and staff.

Due to all the rain we have had the past couple days, Tonight's football scrimmage has been moved to Elizabethtown High School. The scrimmage will start at 6:30 CST

If you are 18 or under and would like a free meal, visit our main location.

Tonight's Monroe County Middle School 8th Grade Graduation will be broadcasted live via the "MCSD Live Stream" link on our website and on our local channels (Mediacom 16 & SCRTC 94). The broadcast will begin at 6:00pm.

Campus Safety Improvements at MCHS and MCMS

Beginning December 8, 2017

• During school hours access to Monroe County High School and Monroe County Wellness Center will be from Old Mulkey Rd.
• Access to Monroe County Middle School will be from Gamaliel Rd. 
• Chains will be up from 8:00am to 2:30pm. 
• This will allow us to have better control of the traffic on the MCHS and MCMS campuses which will provide a safer campus for our students and staff.
• We have experienced drivers using the campuses as an access road from Gamaliel Rd. to Old Mulkey Rd.  During the school day we have students who use the area between the schools for physical education and other activities.  To reduce the risk of someone getting hurt, we are closing access from Gamaliel Rd. to Old Mulkey Rd. during school hours.
• In the near future, we will be installing a check-in station at the entry of MCHS.  This will allow us to monitor who enters and exits the student parking lot.

The Monroe County Health Department is investigating a case of Pertussis (whooping cough).  Pertussis is a vaccine-preventable disease and if you or your child is up to date on immunizations, the probability of infection is lowered.

Please consider the following recommendations from the Monroe County Health Department:

1. Contact your physician if you or your child displays cold symptoms with a persistent cough. Pertussis immunization status should be reviewed and age-appropriate vaccine should be given and antibiotic treatment can be initiated if needed.

2. If you or your child develops Pertussis, you will not be permitted to attend school / daycare/ work  until 5 days of appropriate antibiotic therapy have been completed or for three weeks after the onset of cough, if treatment was not given. 

3. Keep your ill child at home until he or she is no longer contagious.  Keep contagious children home from activities where this disease could be spread to others.  Examples include church, scouts, and team sports.

Also, regarding the STLP competition in Bowling Green, your STLP coordinator will be contacting you with information about today's activities.  PLEASE wait for a call from your school's STLP coordinator.
