A Newsletter of Monroe County Schools
The Monroe County School District will post a daily report of Covid-19 statistics on its system website. The new format will document daily totals of both student and staff cases and exposures for each school campus. These reports will be archived for future reference.

The report will be updated by 5 p.m. each day in the Monroe County Schools COVID-19 Information Toolkit located off of the district's home page. Data reported will be the day's statistics as available and processed. Reports will be posted on each regular school day.

In addition to the new daily report and the existing weekly update, there are many other resources available on the Covid-19 Information Toolkit.

Young Georgia Authors’ Writing Competition 2020-2021 System Winners

Congratulations to all of our students who participated at the system level of the Young Georgia Authors’ Writing Competition. We appreciate the efforts of our teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators for their continued focus on literacy and for encouraging students to develop writing that represents their best efforts and for providing a context to support and celebrate the
writing successes for all students.

The students who placed FIRST for their grade level at the system competition will advance to the RESA level of competition. Their names are highlighted in green. We should know the winners for the RESA level of competition by the end of April. In addition, our system winners who placed FIRST for their grade level (names highlighted in green) will be recognized at the May Board of Education Meeting. Click here for a pdf of the winners.
