Monson-Sultana School

 

Dear Monson-Sultana Students, Parents, and Staff,

 

Welcome back! We’re thrilled to kick off the 2024-2025 school year with you. This year is going to be especially exciting as we work together to help every student thrive and achieve their best. Our school board is laser-focused on student learning, and we’re making big investments across the board to ensure that our students have everything they need to succeed.

 

We’re also excited to announce that our new construction projects are nearing completion! Soon, our students will enjoy a brand-new playground, a state-of-the-art library, a fantastic gymnasium, and a community resource center. These new additions are going to make a huge difference in the daily lives of our students and families, and we can’t wait for you to see them.

As always, we’re committed to the areas that matter most:

• School Safety: Keeping our students safe is our top priority.
• Social and Emotional Health: We’re here to support the whole child.
• High-Quality Instruction: Our teachers are dedicated to providing the best education possible.
• Attendance: We’re focused on making sure every student is here and ready to learn.
• Strong Student-Teacher Connections: Building meaningful relationships that support learning.
• Positive Student Behavior: Encouraging a school culture of kindness and respect.
• Parent Involvement: We want to partner with you in your child’s education.

We encourage you to stay involved, stay in touch with your child’s teachers, and participate in our school community. Whether it’s attending events, joining the booster club, or taking part in parent education opportunities, your involvement makes a huge difference.

 

Monson-Sultana Joint Union Elementary School District has a proud tradition of excellence, and together, we’re going to take our school to new heights. Let’s make this a fantastic year for our students!

Our school has a comprehensive, up-to-date safety plan in place to address a variety of emergency conditions. The plans are reinforced through drills with students and at regular meetings of staff.  You can review the plan by.  
Our school disaster plan includes emergency procedures in case of:

• Traumatic Incidents
• Imminent Danger—Code Red
• Evacuation
• Civil Defense/Disorder
• Bomb Threat/ Bomb Emergency
• Earthquake
• Chemical Spill
• Crime in Progress
• Fire/Explosion

We utilize a state of the art communications system provided by SchoolMessenger that enables us to call every student's home in a matter of minutes in the event of an emergency.
 
On-going training increases our ability to deal with conflict, anger, and other threats to safety. Our plan stresses prevention; our goal is to be prepared.

Your children are surrounded daily by professionals who have dedicated their lives to helping their students. In the event of an emergency, you can count on these caring individuals to make student safety their first concern.
 
In most incidents, public safety and emergency management personnel will play a critical role in identifying the specific nature, cause, and extent of the emergency, as will provide guidance to administrators on the appropriate response steps.

If you have questions about your child's safety and school support responses, please contact our Principal/Superintendent. Your understanding, support, and cooperation are vital as we take these precautionary actions on behalf of our students.
