PICTURE ORDERS
PARENTS…..if you missed out on ordering a school picture package and would like to place a late order, please call Studio 5 School Portraits at 970-674-0520.
PORTRAITS FOR ALL
“Portraits for All” believes that every high school senior deserves to have a high-quality senior portrait that they are proud of. We connect students who aren't in a financial position to pay for a portrait session with professional photographers in their area who are willing to donate their time and talent. Any rising high school senior in the Boulder/Denver metro area who qualifies for free or reduced lunch or can demonstrate financial need through another avenue (such as referral by a high school liaison) is eligible to request a session. We will do our best to match you with a photographer if one is available near you. For more info go to:
GUEST SPEAKERS
Monarch offers a 9th and 10th grade AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) course which is an elective college preparatory course(s) that purposefully prepares students with the skills, courses, and experiences to successfully attend a four-year college upon high school graduation.
AVID focuses on presenting students with career and post secondary opportunities which includes having monthly guest speakers share their journey and work experiences. This would include a time commitment of approximately 45 minutes for a group of 40 students.
If you would be interested in being a guest speaker, please complete the brief form linked.
PICTURE RETAKES
If you would like to have your picture retaken, Studio 5 will be here on Friday, October 7th to do picture retakes.

Hello Monarch community!
My name’s Vanessa Carroll, and I’m the new Grad+ site lead here at Monarch. As a former Fairview English teacher, I’m thrilled to shift into this innovative role which is both new to me and new to MHS and BVSD.
Encompassing four quadrants (see below), Grad+ is a program designed to increase high school students’ postsecondary opportunities in both higher ed. and workplace arenas. Monarch's done a wonderful job creating dual and concurrent enrollment opportunities, promoting the Seal of Biliteracy, and building AP and CTE programs and classes. I’m here to help expand and grow that process by working with students and getting them into existing Grad+ affiliated programs, bringing in new programs and getting students onboard, and working with and supporting Monarch teachers and the greater Monarch community.
The Grad+ quadrants =
College Before Graduation and Advanced Courses
Industry Certification
Seal of Biliteracy
Work-based Learning
Please look for my weekly Grad+ blurb in the Monarch Messenger. Each week I’ll walk you through a different aspect of Grad+ and specifically discuss how I can help Monarch students access these programs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at vanessa.carroll@bvsd.org.
Thanks! Vanessa Carroll
