Whether it's the bus drivers who safely transports students, the front office team who help run the school, the cafeteria staff who provide nourishment, the nurses who keep students healthy, the custodians who keep our buildings sparkling, or the paraeducators who help students succeed, our Education Support Professionals are an integral part of our school team!

Monomoy is launching a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Advisory Council, which will advise the Superintendent and the School Committee, resulting in thoughtful actions that respond to the needs of all students, families, and staff. The goal is to create a school district in which all students feel like they belong, all students are successful, and demographics are no longer an indicator of success.
