Parent-Student Handbook
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. This handbook outlines Monfort Elementary academic and athletic policies and procedures. In addition to this handbook, District 6 developed a Parent-Student Handbook (District 6 Handbook) that includes more detailed information regarding disciplinary information, as well as the rights and responsibilities of students and parents. The District 6 Handbook can be viewed here: PARENT-STUDENT HANDBOOK 2023-2024.
Students and parents are expected to review the information contained in the Monfort Elementary Handbook and the District 6 Handbook carefully. Please keep in mind that student and parent rights and responsibilities are covered in greater detail in the District 6 Handbook. If you have any questions or need additional clarification on a topic, please do not hesitate to contact the school’s administrator, Pamela Baack, at 970-348-2100. For more detailed information regarding board policies, please visit the district’s WEBSITE .
Dear Monfort Elementary Students and Parents,
On behalf of the staff at Monfort Elementary School, we are excited to welcome you to the upcoming school year. Our goal at Monfort is to provide an outstanding educational program that will encourage students to attain their highest possible achievement level while recognizing and respecting their needs as individuals. We strive to help each child to develop academic and social skills that will contribute to their future successes and enjoyment of life. We will be creating a culture of excellence that will guide everything we do here at Monfort.
Our teachers are working collaboratively to provide quality instruction in all subject areas. Mrs. Knoche and I will work diligently during professional development meetings and staff evaluations and will strive to be as visible as possible to every student and staff member to assure that our staff is consistently working at the highest level. Our MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) team and the staff will work to teach the students our expectations of a positive, safe and collaborative learning environment for all of our students and in every learning location in and around the building. Our MTSS team will lead and support the staff so that every student will receive interventions they need to become the best learners possible. We are confident that these practices will enhance the learning experiences we offer students on a daily basis.
The Monfort family handbook is intended to make useful information available to families and answer questions that come up during the school year. The policies of Greeley-Evans School District 6, regulations, and behavior matrix (including but not limited to those in this handbook) also apply at Monfort Elementary and keep our attendance, conduct, and discipline as consistent and fair as possible. Although this handbook makes reference to district policies and regulations, the actual language of the referenced policies and regulations is controlling over the language in the handbook. By sharing expectations and responsibilities we hope to be able to work closely with you to support the growth of your children. Please do not hesitate to call us at (970) 348-2100 if you need additional information or clarification of material in this handbook. Effective schools are characterized by strong partnerships between school and home to help children become successful. We look forward to your involvement and support as we enjoy the opportunity to work with your children!
Sincerely,
Pamela Baack, Principal
Lacey Zwirn, Assistant Principal
