From the Assistant Principals
As part of our commitment to adhering to our Aztec Values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience, MOH has implemented a non-privilege list effective 8/23/2023.
At this time, the non-privilege list includes students with the following:
- Attendance: 8 full day absences/48 single period absences
- Discipline: Any students suspended from school the first 6 weeks of school. Any new suspensions will be added to the list.
Any students on this list are prohibited from attending extra-curricular activities or school dances.
The list is reviewed weekly and emailed to students and parents each week. Students may clear ONE full day absence by attending Saturday School. The Saturday School schedule and sign up form are available on the WAAG. The WAAG can be found on our website and is emailed to all Aztecs through Jupiter every Sunday. Any students on the list for student discipline will be re-evaluated at the next grading period.
************************************************************************************************
Aztec Values are the foundation of how we treat one another on campus. Assistant Principals visited classrooms the first two week of school to explain the expectations of all students at MOH. Always remember to be respectful, responsible and resilient to our Aztec Family.

Montgomery High is a Title I School. Title I is a federal program that provides extra funding to eligible schools to improve the academic achievement of students. All programs funded with Title I dollars must be used to enhance the school programs of the school. In order for schools to qualify for Title I, 35% or more of the students must be considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. The goals of a Title I Program include the following: increase student academic achievement, provide direct instructional support to students, develop professional development for teachers and to promote parent engagement and education. All Title I programs must be included in the school’s Site Plan for Student Achievement. This plan is developed and monitored by the School Site Council and English Language Advisory Committee. Please contact the Parent Center staff if you have any questions related to Title I.

COVID Update
February 9, 2024
Dear MOH Parent/Guardian,
Covid-19 Guidelines changed recently, and they were officially adopted by the district last week. Below are the main points, but please also review the complete SDCOE Covid-19 Decision Table for more comprehensive information.
STUDENTS WHO TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID -19:
With Symptoms: stay home when symptoms appear. May return to school when they are fever-free for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication AND other non-fever symptoms are mild and improving.
No symptoms: Remain at school unless symptoms develop. Then follow the symptomatic guidance above.
All students who test positive for COVID-19: Should wear a mask indoors through day 10 after their symptom onset or positive test date if asymptomatic. Students may remove their mask sooner than 10 days if they have two sequential negative tests at least one day apart. Should avoid contact for 10 days with individuals who are at higher risk for severe COVID-19.
Since the guidelines have changed and there is no longer a mandatory isolation period, MOH will no longer automatically clear student attendance for the days they are out ill. We will rely on the parent/guardian to call in to clear student absences daily, as we do with all other illnesses.
Though the guidelines have changed and are becoming more lenient, we still strongly urge you to keep your ill students home if they are experiencing symptoms such as a fever > 100.5 F, body aches and chills. If your student has other minor symptoms of Covid-19 such as a headache, sore throat, or runny nose we encourage you to get them tested immediately after symptoms start, and then again 2- 3 days later. MOH has Covid-19 tests to provide to student families in need.
Thank you,
Lani Kennedy MSN, RN
