Monroe City Schools – Ready to Achieve! Continuous Learning Plan 2021-2022 School Operational Guidelines Superintendent Brent Vidrine Introduction: MCS plans to provide continuous learning for the 2021-2022 school year. Students will be offered two distinct learning modes: face-to-face, as allowed by medical and government officials, or 100% virtual. For virtual students, necessary equipment such as Chromebooks and wifi hot spots will be provided to facilitate student access to learning. For face-to-face students, a variety of teaching methods and materials will be used. To extent possible, face-to-face students will attend classes daily in school buildings. During any disruptions to daily brick-and-mortar attendance, students and staff will continue to connect online. The goal of seamless academic support of all students will be mastery of grade-level expectations. Mission Statement: The Monroe City School District is committed to excellence in teaching and learning. We hold high expectations for all students, parents, and staff.
