Monticello Live

During the 2011-12 school year the Monticello School District will begin the process of implementing a new curriculum for all English and math classes. The District will join all other public schools in the state of Arkansas in teaching the “Common Core State Standards”.

The new standards have been designed to provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, to be relevant to the real world, and to reflect the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. Arkansas is one of 44 states that have agreed to adopt the Common Core State Standards and the common assessments that will come along with the standards.

Monticello Elementary School will implement the new curriculum in the 2011-12 school year. Monticello Intermediate School and Monticello Middle School will implement the new curriculum during the 2012-13 school year. Monticello High School will implement the new curriculum during the 2013-14 school year.
