New 2023-2024 Bell Schedule for Monroe County Middle School
April 13, 2023 - Beginning in August 2023, Monroe County Middle School students will have new arrival and dismissal times. Classes at the middle school will begin at 8 a.m. Dismissal will take place at 3 p.m. This change will help alleviate bus traffic congestion and allow more space for future growth.
Transportation Director Jake Davis says, “We have run out of space to safely add additional buses to our loading areas at Monroe County Middle School and Mary Persons High School. As we continue to anticipate the need for growth, we have to address that now.”
Aligning the times at MPHS and MCMS will also allow Monroe County Schools to station buses simultaneously at both schools, allowing them to begin their routes sooner, while also accommodating the large number of student athletes needed to transfer from one campus to the other.
More information about the change will be released as we get closer to the start of the school year.

IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE REMINDERS
It has come to our attention that there is some confusion about the requirements needed to document student absences at MCMS. Please be aware of the following excerpts from our MCMS Student Handbook-School Attendance Policy:
“Upon returning after an absence, a student should bring a note from the parent or doctor.”
“Students who desire to document an absence shall present a written excuse signed by a parent or guardian within three (3) school days of returning to school. Documentation may not be sent by Fax, email, or telephone."

"The end of the school year is approaching, and students cannot wait until summer vacation...However, parents want to make sure their children don’t forget everything they learned over the school year once their brains turn off school mode and turn on their summer vacation mode."
· Book Clubs - Summer learning doesn’t have to be expensive for families. Create a summer book club with parents and children. Set weekly goals for all of you to read up to certain chapters, ask each other questions, and make it fun for everyone involved! It will keep kids up to date with their reading skills as well as engage in responding to topics orally in front of family members. By creating this book club, kids will be involved with family, friends, and characters from different books which may eventually become their favorite books as time goes on! It’s also a great way for your children to tackle their summer reading assignments. And studies have shown that is there is a discussion around the book – like in your family book club – they are more likely to fully grasp the material."
