The Monarch Messenger
Friday, December 15, 2023
From Doan's Desk....
Given our numerous district-wide internet outages at the end of this week, we will see if the Monarch Messenger reaches everyone today. This has been a sobering reminder of our reliance on the internet for everything from phones, copy machines, bells, intercom, and the obvious classroom applications. Hopefully, we are past these major system outages, but if anything were to happen next week we would be prepared to adapt and ensure we can successfully finish our finals.
Thank you to everyone for your understanding and patience as we navigated all the challenges associated with the loss of network connectivity.
Sko Yotes!
Greg Doan
Principal
