Flyer   FAQ

Have your children ate you out of house & home during this pandemic?  Of course they have!  The state of Kentucky still has over 117,000 children that were eligible to receive pandemic benefits still unclaimed.  Pandemic EBT helps families with children who receive Free or Reduced-price meals at school buy groceries to make up for meals students missed during school closures this past spring. 

 Every child in Monroe County qualified for $313.50.  If you receive SNAP, TANF, Foster/Kinship Care and/or Medicaid benefits your funds should have loaded on your card automatically in April/May.   

 *If you do not receive benefits, all you have to do is apply at benefind.ky.gov, and click Start Pandemic EBT Application,  Please read the attached flyers for any questions you may have about this service.  It lists foods that can be purchased, dates, and other important information.  You can even make qualifying purchases through Walmart.com and Amazon.com, so you don't even have to leave the house!  Everyone should take advantage of this opportunity.  

All you need to apply is your Childs' name, Date of birth, & Student ID number which comes from Infinite Campus (SSID#) which is located under their name.  If you have any questions about this benefit or locating your childs' number, please contact me at school..  

The Monroe County Cares is sponsoring  the "Dinner Table Project". This program for families to eat together, have fun, and grow closer.   All we ask is that your family unplug from electronics for dinner and spend time together talking about what you did that day.  If you participate and take a picture you could win a gift card to a local restaurant.  Yes, you will have to get the phone out to take a selfie of you participating, but then place it back in the box and enjoy your meal and time together as a family. See the flyer for more information.   If you did not receive a box at Open House, contact Glenna Geralds or Kelly Smith and we will make arrangements for you to pick one up.

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.

Please complete this short survey to let us know if your child has the capability to access the internet from home during at-home school days.  Thank you!

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.

Attention Parents! The Scholastic book fair is at JHC!

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.

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.  

Congratulations to our Lady Falcons 

Sign-ups are now underway for the local USA/High School Swim team.  If your child would like to be a part of the team you can go by the Wellness Center and pick up a packet and return by August 29th.  Practices will be Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 3:15-5:00 for grades 7-12 and Tuesday and Thursday for grades K-6 from 3:30-4:30.

  The Monroe County School system initiated a workplace wellness plan, Spring Break Walkout, in which walking paths were measured and posters with directions were placed at each school. Employees were encouraged to walk before or after school or during their lunch break. For every mile walked, they would put a star by their name on a board. Small prizes were given to the winners, those that walked the most miles, and to all those that participated. Employees took advantage of walking paths and the friendly competition to see who would get the most stars.

Come join in the fun! If you're not a member, you can always walk in. UPDATED CALENDAR

We know many of you have been wondering about the status of the JHC CHAMPS After-School program for the coming school year. While our grant funding has ended, we have been working very dilligently to make sure the program is still alive an...d strong. As always, the program will still run from the end of the school day until 5:00 each day. The cost will remain the same as well. There will still be homework time and then fun activities each afternoon. Other than a few staff changes, you should not notice any differences in the program from past years. There will be sign-up forms in your child's beginning of the year paperwork package as well as a booth set up at open house. Thanks to Ronda Elam for her dilligent work in making sure the JHC CHAMPS program remains alive and better than ever!

Caroline placed 4th in the state for her manipulated photo entry.  Congrats Caroline!
