MESSAGE FROM MR. HERRERA, CAMPUS PRINCIPAL
Good Morning RAM Family,
The 2026–2027 school year is officially underway, and Week 1 is in the books! It was wonderful seeing all of our Rams back where they belong—filling our hallways with energy, excitement, and school pride as we continue to bring the Emerald City to life. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for helping us get off to a great start.
Safety & Security Reminders
The safety and security of our Rams remains our top priority. We ask for your support by ensuring that students wear their school ID every day. Student IDs help us quickly identify who belongs on campus and are an important part of maintaining a safe learning environment. Please remember that wearing an ID is also part of our school dress code.
Speaking of dress code, we appreciate your partnership in helping students arrive at school dressed appropriately each day. Your support reinforces the high expectations we have for all Rams and helps create a positive learning environment for everyone. Please review and follow the school dress code outlined below.
Grade-Level Meetings
Throughout next week, we will be meeting with each grade level to discuss the keys to success at Montwood High School and set the tone for a successful school year.
Schedule:
Monday, August 3: Freshmen
Tuesday, August 4: Sophomores
Wednesday, August 5: Juniors
Thursday, August 6: Seniors
Schedule Change Requests
We appreciate your patience as our counseling team works through the many schedule change requests submitted during the first week of school. Our counselors are diligently reviewing each request and will continue processing them through August 13. Thank you for your understanding as they work to ensure every student has the most appropriate schedule possible.
