Monticello Middle School Gearing Up to Bring Kids Back

Administrators and teachers in Monticello are getting ready to bring kids back and make things feel normal again. 

 

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, first-year principal of Monticello Middle School, Mark Hughes, indicates they will be doing everything they can for kids to maintain social distancing but they also are going to focus on the social and emotional well-being of the students. 

 

 

According to Hughes, there will be an emphasis on trying to make things as normal as possible. He believes there will certainly be things that are different but believes learning will feel normal again when the focus shifts to the classroom.

 

 

Hughes and his staff are blessed to have a relatively new facility. He indicates because newer buildings are generally more spacious, they can get creative in how they socially distance.

 

 

Monticello Schools students will report to class for the first day of school on Tuesday, September 8. 

 

The deadline for parents to select if students will be returning to class or taking advantage of remote learning this Wednesday, August 12. We'll have more with Hughes on what remote learning will look like for his students later this week on Regional Radio News.
