Senior posters due April 1-4

It has been a long-standing tradition at Monarch HS for senior families to create a photo poster to celebrate their graduating senior. Typically these posters have been displayed only at After Prom, but this year they will be on display at Monarch HS for the week leading up to Prom/After Prom. Please look here for senior poster guidelines and examples.

Posters must be dropped off at the Monarch front office between April 1-4 and they should be collected April 14-17—many families re-use these posters for graduation parties.

Contact monarchafterprom@gmail.com with questions.

Its TIME!! Your students will take the State of Colorado’s Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) Science as well as the PSAT9/PSAT10 and SAT in two weeks. We need to know if your student is going to be in attendance, and if they are not, please complete this Google form.

Please see the schedule with specific dates and times below:

Again, I would like to encourage all of our students to participate in testing this year. If you have questions, I welcome the opportunity to chat with you about this important effort no later than March 5, which is the district deadline for submitting written requests to opt a student out of testing. Click here for additional information about testing, including a general schedule of these assessments in the Boulder Valley School District, including the grades affected.

For any questions or concerns or to request more information, please contact either assistant principal Ailey Ruger or assistant principal Dr. Cara Maronek.

For students who have testing accommodations, testing slips with your students' accommodation and what room they will be testing in were sent out on Thursday, March 13th. You can reach out to Dr. Maronek if your student did not get an accommodation slip, and you feel this is an error. We will have lists on test day to make sure your student gets to the room they are going to test in case this slip gets lost before then.

It is that time of year again -- AP testing is right around the corner and we could use some help! We need Hall Monitors because our testing groups are so large! (Way to go Coyotes!) It is important that we have a certain number of adults here to help the testers have their best experience. The only qualification is that you cannot be a hall monitor if you have a student in the exam room.

SENIORS! Are you thinking about paying for college?

We know many of you are applying to college, and part of that process is figuring out how to pay for it!

The first step is filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

The FAFSA has undergone some big changes in the last couple years causing some confusion.

Here is an article about the FAFSA and when you should apply.

• Seating is open, no tickets are needed for entry.
• There will be a live stream of the graduation ceremony.
• Seniors are allowed to decorate their cap for graduation.
• GradImages will be on site during our graduation ceremony to take photos of the students receiving their diplomas on stage. They will email proofs for purchase to families.
