    Random Metal Detection Program

     

    Dear MHS Parents,

     

     

    The Broward County Public Schools Random Metal Detection Program has been established to prevent, deter, and curtail the introduction of weapons into our schools. Classrooms are randomly selected throughout the District to be screened through the use of a random selection model. All Monarch High School students in the selected classrooms will be subject to the screening process, which will be conducted using hand-held metal detection wands.  This process will be used at schools throughout the District at random and DOES NOT mean that there has been any threat made on the campus when the random metal detection occurs at a school.       

     

    For more information, please watch the video from Superintendent Cartwright.

    Random Metal Detection Program Message

    Thank you.

     

    Respectfully,

    Mental Health Services

    Students at school

    • Mental health and wellness include emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Mental wellness impacts students’ relationships with family, peers, and their school performance. It affects how we think, feel, and act. Mental health also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and the choices we make. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. (mentalhealth.gov) 

      Mental and psychological wellness are integral to school success. School mental health services are essential to creating and sustaining safe schools and supporting engaged learners. There is a growing need for mental health services for children and youth, and schools are a natural place to provide services. School-employed mental health professionals are trained to provide services in educational settings.

      When the whole community gets involved, we move from a place of “I” as in “Illness” to one of “We” as in “Wellness!” 

    Seniors... get your picture taken for the yearbook. No purchase necessary.

  • Policy 5900: Anti-Bullying Parent Training

    Broward County Public Schools recognizes that parents/legal guardians are an integral part of a school’s safe and respectful environment as well as their child’s success. Therefore, SBBC Policy 5900: Anti-Bullying mandates that parents be provided access to an annual training module that educates them on the application of Policy 5900, including how to report and intervene with suspected bullying, the bullying investigation process, as well as each student's right to appeal the investigation findings. For more information on the District's bullying prevention policy, go to www.BrowardSchools.com/Anti-Bullying.

  • Policy 5010: Dating Violence Prevention Parent Training

    Broward County Public Schools recognizes that parents/legal guardians are an integral part of a school’s safe and respectful environment as well as their child’s success. Therefore, SBBC Policy 5010: Against Student Dating Violence or Abuse (Grades 6-12) mandates that parents be provided access to an annual training module that provides student dating violence prevention awareness, so they are better able to prevent, identify, respond, and report suspected dating violence. For more information on the District's dating violence prevention policy, go to www.BrowardSchools.com/DatingViolencePrevention.

    PARENT TRAINING DIRECTIONS

  • Agents/Consultants/Contractors/Vendors/Visitors/Volunteers Training

    School Board policies 5900 and 5010 are applicable to any student, employee, Board member, District employee, agent, consultant, contractor, vendor, visitors, volunteer, or other person in the school or outside the school at school-sponsored events, on school buses, and at training facilities or training programs sponsored by the District. While on school grounds, these adults may be responsible for the welfare of pupils and are expected to know policy information and adhere to behavioral policy standards. Therefore, both policies mandate trainings be made available to these parties, so they are better able to prevent, identify, respond, and report suspected bullying or student dating violence.

    DIRECTIONS: Agents, consultants, contractors, vendors, visitors, and volunteers within a BCPS site will click on the links below to find the directions and complete the trainings prior to working within a school.
