MMS Announces New Inclement Weather Procedures
December 13th, 2017 by Monticello Schools
Monticello School District Superintendent Sandra Lanehart recently announced state approval for the new inclement weather procedures for all schools in the district.
If Monticello School District students are out of school for inclement weather (e.g. snow days), they will no longer have to make them up at the end of the year if they follow the new procedures. This new change comes after the state allowed school districts to propose an alternative make-up policy for up to five days missed for inclement weather.
Each campus in the district has adopted its own procedures for handling the days missed (up to five). Teachers at Monticello Middle School have created
assignments students will have to complete at home during the days missed.
All students will be given a paper copy of the assignments on December 12.
These assignments should be taken home and kept in case of inclement
weather days. Also, some teachers have made assignments available to
students on Google Classroom and/or MMS Teacher Webpages.
To determine student attendance, each student will be provided with an
Assignment log that identifies each assignment and the date completed. The Student will sign and the student’s parent/guardian will sign to validate that the student completed the tasks.
All student work from AMI days will be graded and recorded by the teacher.
Students will be counted present if they have turned in all completed
assignments as well as the Assignment log signed and dated by both the
student and the parent by the third day following the AMI day. Failure to
complete assignments or turn in the Assignment Log by the student will result in an unexcused absence and a 0 on the assignment.
The principal will determine whether the absence is to be counted as an
unexcused absences.
Teachers will be available for a portion of each day in case students need help
with the work, (via email, google classroom, etc.) from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the days missed.
