Dear Bulldog Families,
We are just under a week away from kicking off remote learning for the 2020-2021 school year. Whether you picked the in-person/remote learning or MODEL program, we want you to know we are here for your students. Administration, teachers, and staff are working hard to provide the best learning opportunities for our students. With that being said, here are a few things families need to know:
Virtual Open House: Open house is on Monday, August 31st, 6-7PM. Teachers will be inviting parents/guardians and students to an informational Zoom meeting where they will discuss classroom expectations and course details for the quarter. Each Zoom will be about 15 minutes in length. Be watching your Skyward Family access for invites to each teacher’s Zoom.
Wednesday, September 2, 2020, is the first day of school! This is a Wednesday, so following the remote learning plan, it will be a shortened class schedule. Click here to view the Remote Learning Schedule.
Attendance & Grading: Attendance will be taken daily. Parents, if your child has a doctor’s appointment, is sick, or will not be available to participate in the daily lesson, please go into Skyward and enter his/her absence. Grades will also be entered into Skyward on a regular basis, so please make it a routine to check on your child’s progress regularly.
Remote Learning Expectations: Click here to view our Remote Learning Expectations for students, teachers and parents. Please review the expectations with your student as this will be important to their success. We are all in this together, and together we will be successful!
M.O.D.E.L: If your student is doing all online, he/she will be receiving an email with his/her login information and classes scheduled. Counselors are currently working on these schedules, making sure students are enrolled in courses that meet graduation requirements. Parents will also receive more specific information from the on-site coordinator in the weeks to come.
Google Classroom/Zoom: Students who selected the in-person/remote learning will be receiving Google Classroom codes via email in the days to come. Once they are in Google Classroom, they will be given a link for Zoom meetings. Zooms will start at the beginning of each period and may last the whole class period, may be broken up into chunks of time, or may have different checkpoints with the teacher such as beginning and end, depending on subject matter and the lesson for the day.
Textbook/Material Pick Up: If your student is in the in-person/remote learning option and did not pick up materials for their first three classes last week, you need to come to the school either Monday (8/31) or Tuesday (9/1) between 8:00AM-12:00PM to collect your textbooks. Remember - MASKS ARE REQUIRED.
We are excited for this new school year. It’s going to have its challenges, but as Bulldogs, we know we will succeed when we work together.
Sincerely,
Alec & Anne

Dear MHS Families and Students:
Through the course of last spring we worked to keep you and your students updated on the happenings around the school community, as we moved through the continually shifting end to our 2019-2020 school year. Our hopes for the 2020-2021 school year was to begin in person, but as you are aware, for the safety of our students, staff, and community, we are starting the year in the remote setting. Thus, it will be imperative to keep communication lines open and keep you informed of the continuously changing landscape of education.
Many of you have completed the annual registration document and have likely received a schedule for the start of the year. During the week of August 24th, we will be having in person pick up for materials required for the start of the school year for the remote learning model. That schedule will be emailed to families today. Please note, if you have chosen to take part in the M.O.D.E.L. program, it will not be necessary to come in and pick up materials to start the year. We will be reaching out to those families to enroll your student for the first 9 week quarter in the days to come.
We have come a long way since the spring, and we are excited about offering the best possible educational opportunities for our students this year whether it is in person learning, in the remote model, or the online M.O.D.E.L program. So, stay tuned as we will be providing informational updates including what students and parents should expect when we start our learning on September 2, 2020 in the remote setting.
Welcome back, and until we have an opportunity to see you in person, stay safe and healthy.
Alec and Anne

Please watch for the following letter to arrive in the mail within the next few days. It was mailed Friday, August 14, 2020. The Annual Student Information Update will open in Skyward Family Access on Monday, August 17th.
Welcome Back Bulldogs and a special welcome to the “Class of 2026”. This has been an unprecedented year and now, more than ever, we are looking forward to working with you and your student as we return to learning. As decided at the School Board meeting on Tuesday, August 11th, we will begin the 2020-2021 school year remotely, meaning we will not have face-to-face instruction but will be learning from home until it’s deemed safe to return to the building.
We’ve included a learning schedule for students in this mailing and while we know there continues to be questions regarding the upcoming school year, we are working very hard to get answers out to you all. As previously indicated, our classes for the Jr/Sr High will be reduced to 3 subjects for the first nine weeks, then changing to 3 different classes for the subsequent nine weeks, etc. Detailed information on remote learning, text book retrieval, chromebook check-out, etc., will be broadcasted in the days to come. We encourage all parents, guardians, and students to watch the district and school websites at www.monteschools.org and by logging into your Skyward Family/Student Access, as we post information there regularly. As we near the beginning of school, your student will be included in Google Classrooms for each of their classes. These invitations will come via their school email – so it is imperative that students are checking their emails regularly.

Dear Bulldog Parents and Students:
All I can say is WOW!!!! If this hasn’t been the wildest ride you could take over the last 13 weeks, I don’t know what is… We have made it to the close of the 2019-2020 school year. I am speaking for all the staff when I say thank you for your patience and support during this closure. We have an awesome community, and I think it’s safe to say we have all earned a little break from zoom and google classroom.

My favorite memory of my senior year was the time I got to spend with all of my friends. One favorite memory specifically is when two of my friends and I went to Thriftway and bought a head of lettuce which I then proceeded to eat throughout the day.
To our Bulldog families; your patience and flexibility during this closure has been tremendous. It is hard to imagine another community that is as dedicated to the success of all of our students than Montesano. I am honored to serve as the principal for your students and would like to personally thank you during this closure.
As we move into the last two weeks of the 2019-2020 school year, we want to bring you up to speed on a few pieces of information:
