Mandatory letter
If your child receives a letter like this then it is our determination as educational professionals that she or he is in need of tutoring to facilitate their academic success. Failure to attend these sessions will result, in most cases, your child's failure to learn the necessary skills and be at the necessary level to move to the subsequent grade level.
I hope that everyone who has a child in tutoring will help us help your child be successful.
Thanks!
Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s),
Your child will be required to attend Mandatory tutoring for our
Response to Intervention Program. This Intervention is required in hopes that
the extra tutoring will bring your child’s scores up to an equivalency of their
current grade level and is necessary for their academic achievement here at
Monticello Academy.
This tutoring block set aside for your child is mandatory and your
child must attend. If you have any questions, please feel free to call your
child’s teacher at (210) 858-1487.
The tutoring time set aside for your child will be from _________ to
_________ on the
(time) (time)
following days: _____________, _____________, ________________. Your
child should
(Day) (Day) (Day)
report to their teacher’s room at the above times/days each week.
Tutoring will begin (the new times/dates) the week of February 10, 2014,
and continue until further notice. Please make sure you pick your child up at
the time of tutoring completion. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Dr. Debbie DeLeon

Welcome back!
Happy New Year!
Welcome back to Monticello Academy! We are excited to be here and we look forward to working with your students. Please remember to watch the weather...it's Texas and it can be cold in the morning and warm in the afternoon. We don't have outside time unless the temperature is warm enough but with the wind, it can still feel cold, so make sure your student has a coat and hat for these chilly days.
Check out these other blogs about teaching and learning. They are quite interesting:

Attendance
In order to have at least a 99% attendance rating, we MUST have notes for every absence. It is our policy that parents or guardians provide a doctor's note for every absence so they are excused. It is Texas law that all students under the age of 17 attend school. As a school of choice, we will work with you and your students to maintain a 99% attendance rating.
It is the best interests of your child that they come to school everyday. Even one day can make a difference in your child's educational success. We all want the best for the children so bring your child to school everyday, even if they are sick. If they are sick, visit with the school nurse at her office on the main campus and she can provide a note to excuse the absence.
It is the parent's and teacher's responsibilities that the children make up all work missed during the absence.
We do miss them if they are not here!
See Mr. White if you have any questions.
