Welcome to Monroe-Gregg School District

Monrovia High School Sports Physical Night

Improved Security:

Last summer a team of volunteers, including key stakeholders in the community, conducted a safety audit of Monrovia High School. One of the main needs that became apparent from this walkthrough was an entryway that directed all visitors directly to the main office for check in. An improved entryway would also close off direct access to our building for individuals intent on harming our students and staff.

We were fortunate enough to receive a Secured School Safety Grant last year that is helping to fund the solution to this problem. In the next few weeks you will be noticing some construction at the main entrance for our new secured entryway. While we apologize for any inconvenience, we hope you share our continued efforts to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

New Raptor Sign-In Process:

In a continued effort to keep our students and staff safe during school hours, our schools will be implementing a new process for visitors. We would like to introduce you to another new system being installed in our schools to help protect our children. The V-soft system by Raptor Technologies will help us track visitors, contractors and volunteers at our schools, thus providing a more secure environment for all students and staff.

As you may have seen, all of our schools utilize a camera phone buzz in system to gain access to the building between 7:53 am and 2:40 pm. Upon entering the building, visitors are directed to the main office and greeted by our staff. The new process continues this procedure and adds an extra layer of security.

When visitors, contractors or volunteers check in or when parents come to pick up students, they will be asked to present a valid state-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or military ID). This will be scanned into the system and it will provide automatic badges with names and date stamps for the visit. All visitors will be asked to present a valid photo ID when entering our schools beginning on Monday, February 3rd, 2014.

As always, we ask that parents be sure to update their child’s school profile with any changes as to whom may pick up their child, custody changes, and/or contacts whenever cell phone numbers, emails, caregivers or other information changes. Your child’s school office can assist you with this process.

We appreciate your help and support in helping keep our schools as safe as possible. If you have questions regarding the system, please contact your child’s school office. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience with this matter.

Calendar Updates:

The updated calendar is available on the Monroe-Gregg School’s website at www.m-gsd.org under the 2013-2014 calendar tab.

Staff, Students, Parents & Family:

It is that crazy time of the year when the weather can change at any given moment. This is just a reminder that from time to time, the school will send out "Alert Now Messages" pertaining to changes in our school day based on the weather and other events beyond our control.

Along with an "Alert Now Message" we will notify local TV and Radio stations of our situation. We will post any closings or delays here on our school web page for your convenience.

Please remember we always base our decisions on what is best for the students, their safety is foremost in our minds while trying to provide the best education possible.

Best wishes,
Monroe-Gregg Administration Center
