Monett Schools uses various communication methods to connect with Monett families. It is crucial for parents/guardians to update their contact information in PowerSchool via E-Registration. Maintaining accurate and current contact information ensures the District can promptly reach Monett families for important announcements and updates related to students.
ParentSquare provides features such as instant messaging, school-wide announcements, event calendars, and the ability to access information specific to the child's class, grade level, and campus. While we will continue to use other communication methods, such as email and our school's website, ParentSquare will be our primary platform for information, updates, and fostering effective collaboration between teachers, staff, and parents.
