Monongah Middle School

Parents, Please be reminded that our building will not open until 8:00 am. Students are NOT to be dropped off to wait in the parking lot unsupervised. Thank you

Welcome back Monongah Middle families! We can't wait to get this year started and see all of our students again. One change for the upcoming school year is morning arrival time. We are unable to have anyone on duty for supervision until 8:00, therefore, doors won't be open until 8:00 am for students to begin entering the building. Dismissal begins at 3:21. Have a great year!
