Principal Petty's Weekly Update

Good evening,

This is Marcus Petty Principal of James Monroe High School with important announcements:

  • School stars on August 5 with Transition Day for our ninth graders. Grade levels 10-12 will return on Tuesday, August 6.

    On Transition Day, ninth graders will meet their teachers, experience new classes and routines, and start the 2024-2025 school year with success! We look forward to seeing our ninth graders only on August 5, and all students together on August 6.

  • We will continue our division-wide implementation of Responsibility Centered Discipline (RCD). Our school-wide foundations are attached for you to review with your child. This initiative is part of our commitment to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for all students.
