* 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.

Cold Meal Delivery

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 fill out the following survey so that we can better plan for the upcoming NTI days.

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.

ADMISSION:​ ​$2.00 per person to attend

When:​ Friday, August 31, 2018

Time:​ 12:45 pm

Where:​ TES GYM

This is a program during school so it is ​closed ​to the public for safety reasons. Thank you for understanding.

Reading for Education is trying to help out TES by donating money to help us. For every address we turn in, we will receive 50 cents, and for a completed booklet we will receive $5.50! Our school could earn up to $2,200 to help purchase the programs we need. If your child turns the booklet in by Friday, August 31st, they will receive a nice prize. Please make sure your child's name is on the front of the booklet in order for them to get their prize.

We hope we can count on you to help us out! Also, there is a random "golden ticket" within the packets that will win $100!

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.  

At the first of the school, we sent out flyers about School Store. Many of you signed you child/children up for it. Now is a great time to be using it! Tompkinsville Elementary can make money that will be used for our students, and it is very EASY to do. If you are shopping online, go first to www.schoolstore.net, find Tompkinsville Elementary, and then click on merchants. It is that easy! The prices will be the same as it is on the store website. There are over 400 stores to choose from, for instance Wal-Mart, Target, Children’s Place, The Gap, etc. So I know that this is an extras step, but it is a quick step. TES has earned $60 already from great parents like you, but we could be making more money. Feel free to tell grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc., that they can also go through this site to order online.

*UPDATED SOLAR ECLIPSE INFORMATION*

Gamaliel Elementary School will be in the path of totality on August 21, 2017.  The eclipse will begin at 12:00 pm and will reach totality at 1:29 pm.  Totality will last for approximately 1 minute and 29 seconds. 

During the solar eclipse, all Monroe County students in grades 4th - 12th will be transported to Gamaliel Elementary School to participate in activities and view the period of totality.  Families wishing to have their child(ren) in 4th - 12th participate in the viewing will need to sign and date the waiver going home with students today.  Click here to download a copy of the waiver. 

Students in grades K-3 will have the opportunity to view the solar eclipse from NASA's live stream via technology in the classroom.  This will allow our primary students to safely view the event with their peers. 

Any student who does not have a signed waiver in grades 4th - 12th will view the eclipse from the NASA live stream inside their school building. 

Due to the number of students that will be on the GES campus, there will not be any parking or space for public viewing.  However, there will be various spots throughout the community of Gamaliel for public observation. 

Parents wishing to watch the eclipse with their child(ren) may choose to check them out of school to view the eclipse at one of the public viewing areas prior 10:30 am at each school's location. 

Students will not be dismissed to parents while at the Gamaliel Elementary School location.

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.

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.
