Future Monnig Middle School Mustangs!  Middle School is right around the corner and we would like for you to start thinking about what elective classes you would like to take next year.  

All 6th-grade students take Math, Science, Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Moving to Wellness. These classes make up five of the seven periods we have in our school day.  This means you get to choose two electives.  So, watch the video with your parents and start thinking about your future!

Elective Choices for 6th Graders: Art, Band, Choir, Career Technology, Dance, Junior Cadet Corps, Orchestra, Theater

Our teachers and staff are going above and beyond during this time and much of their hard work is behind the scenes. We want to recognize our RHE teachers and staff for all the wonderful ways they're helping us "Keep Our Stride"! We are asking YOU (parents, friends, other teachers, and staff) to help us nominate Magnificent Mustangs - Teacher & Staff Version where they'll be highlighted in the Pony Post and PTA Facebook group! Please submit nominations to brooke@safecarepartners.net 

The Virtual Learning Support page is the go-to resource for students and parents. Whether you're getting started using a digital device or online application for the first time or need to learn more about how to use a resource, you'll find the support you need here. Our Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) were designed to give you clear, step-by-step directions for completing common tasks within various applications.  In addition to our QRGs, you will find helpful videos that walk you through the applications used for virtual learning.  On this page, we've compiled information and resources specifically for students and parents to help with common learning tools like Google Classroom, Google Meet, Seesaw, ClassLink, and much more. For students who have received a district-issued device, we have several resources available to help parents and students with technical issues. Our goal is to ensure that parents and students have the knowledge and technology skills needed for success during virtual learning.
