We are thrilled to announce the start of Hispanic Heritage Month! This is a special time of the year where we celebrate and honor the rich cultural contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. This celebration runs from September 15th to October 15th, and it is an opportunity for all of us to embrace diversity, learn about different cultures, and appreciate the unique perspectives that enrich our school community.

Keep an eye on the activities that the Diversity club and the Spanish Teachers will be sharing during this time.

And, ... bye bye, adiós, adeus!

We look to build a strong school advisory council this year to guide our important work. A school council is a representative, school building-based committee that meets quarterly and is composed of the principal, parents, teachers, community members, and students. School councils are to assist principals in:

1. Adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards
2. Identifying the educational needs of students attending the school
3. Reviewing the annual school building budget
4. Formulating a school improvement plan
5. Review the student handbook

If you are interested please send an email message to principal Jennifer Police at jpolice@monomoy.edu indicating your interest in serving on the school council.

Mrs. Hall can help you navigate the application and interview process. Cape Cod Tech looks at your grades, attendance, and conduct as important factors in your application. Please reach out to Mrs. Hall if you or your child are a potential applicant.

Hello to all of our new families! We hope the school year has been off to a good start! Please feel free to reach out to your child’s counselor at any time.
