Dear Monson-Sultana Students, Parents, and Staff,

 

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We are excited for another year of learning, growth, and achievement together. At Monson-Sultana, we are committed to creating a safe, welcoming school where every student feels valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.

 

This past year, we were thrilled to be recognized as both a California School to Watch and a National School to Watch! This tremendous honor reflects the collective hard work of our teachers, staff, administration, wellness team, parents, school board, and—most importantly—our students.

 

These recognitions celebrate schools committed to doing what is best for students every day. We are proud to provide rigorous academic instruction alongside career technical education, physical education, the arts, and other electives that help students discover their strengths and explore future possibilities. This achievement belongs to our entire school community!

 

Our PBIS Raiders RISE system continues to guide students in demonstrating Respect, Integrity, Self-Control, and Excellence. These shared values strengthen our school culture and support students’ academic, social, and personal growth.

 

Our school board and staff remain united in their commitment to the priorities that matter most:

 

• • • • • • • • • • • School Safety: Keeping our students safe is our highest priority.
                    • Social & Emotional Health: Supporting the well-being of every child.
                    • High-Quality Instruction: Providing engaging, challenging, and meaningful learning experiences.
                    • Attendance: Helping students be present, prepared, and ready to learn every day.
                    • Strong Student–Teacher Connections: Building trusting relationships that inspire success.
                    • Positive Student Behavior: Encouraging kindness, respect, and responsibility through Raiders RISE.
                    • Parent & Family Involvement: Working together to support every student’s education.

 

We encourage you to take an active role in our school community by attending events, joining our Boosters Club, and staying connected with your child’s teachers. Your partnership helps make Monson-Sultana a place where students thrive.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. We are here to serve you and your children. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Together, let’s make the 2026–2027 school year one filled with opportunity, achievement, and Raider pride!
