The Monett R-1 School District uses various communication methods to connect with Monett families. It is crucial for parents/guardians to update their contact information in PowerSchool via E-Registration. Maintaining accurate and current contact information ensures the District can promptly reach Monett families for important announcements and updates related to students.

ParentSquare provides features such as instant messaging, school-wide announcements, event calendars, and the ability to access information specific to the child's class, grade level, and campus. While we will continue to use other communication methods, such as email and our school's website, ParentSquare will be our primary platform for information, updates, and fostering effective collaboration between teachers, staff, and parents.

Download the ParentSquare App!

Monett R-1 has an online database for family and emergency contact information, health information and required school forms. All families are required to update and complete their information by Open House on August 13th and 15.

Any student attending the district is eligible to use a district-owned device. The non-refundable usage fee must be paid in full before a student is eligible to take a device off of district property for grades 6-12.

Follow this link for terms, payment, benefits, common repairs, replacement costs, and an FAQ section.

Students in grades PK-5 will not be taking devices home (unless there is a district need/situation that would require all students to have a device at home). A device fee of $30 ($15 Free/Reduced Lunch) will be collected for all students in grades 6-12.

If you wish to pay the device fee online, please follow this link. The convenience will be waived for RevTrak from July 1 through September 4 to allow parents to pay laptop fees, meal accounts, and anything that needs to be paid to prepare the student for school.

It's time to start thinking about the 2024-2025 Free and Reduced Meal Application. The Free and Reduced meal program is designed to provide eligible students with free or reduced meals.
