Monroe City Schools – Ready to Achieve!
Continuous Learning Plan 2021-2022
School Operational Guidelines
Superintendent Brent Vidrine
Introduction:
MCS plans to provide continuous learning for the 2021-2022 school year. Students will be offered two
distinct learning modes: face-to-face, as allowed by medical and government officials, or 100% virtual.
For virtual students, necessary equipment such as Chromebooks and wifi hot spots will be provided to
facilitate student access to learning. For face-to-face students, a variety of teaching methods and materials
will be used. To extent possible, face-to-face students will attend classes daily in school buildings. During
any disruptions to daily brick-and-mortar attendance, students and staff will continue to connect online.
The goal of seamless academic support of all students will be mastery of grade-level expectations.
Mission Statement:
The Monroe City School District is committed to excellence in teaching and learning. We hold high
expectations for all students, parents, and staff. We share, with our community, the responsibility for
providing a safe, caring environment designed to help students become productive citizens. We pledge all
available resources to help prepare students to live and work in a rapidly changing, technological society.

identified as close contacts to a case.

quarantine after 10 days from last contact with COVID 19 positive person.
• If no symptoms develop during quarantine and the person has a negative test collected no earlier
