What is Standards Referenced Reporting (SRR)?
Standards Referenced Reporting (SRR) is a research-based approach to assessing and reporting student achievement. SRR focuses on what students know and are able to do. Teachers teach, assess and provide constant feedback to students on where they are currently in their learning, where they need to go to meet each standard, and how they will reach each standard. Interventions and enrichment are provided to students based on where they are with their learning and understanding. When a student struggles to reach proficiency, MCSD staff intervene on the student’s behalf to provide interventions and additional opportunities to learn and relearn the standards. If a student demonstrates proficiency on a standard prior to teaching and learning occurring, MCSD staff provide enrichment opportunities to enhance student application of the standard.

We now use School Messenger as our notification system. As part of our enrollment into the School Messenger Notification System, you can opt-in to receive text messages for weather-related announcements, school emergencies, general notifications, and more. However, because of communication regulations, you must choose to receive these text messages. If you do not complete the steps to opt-in, you will not get any text alerts from the school.
Steps to OPT-IN:
- Open a new text message on your mobile phone
- Enter 67587 into the recipient field (who you are going to send the message to)
- Type Yes into the body of the text
- Push send
You should receive a text message right away saying that you are now enrolled in the Monticello text alert system. Sometimes this can take up to 24 hours. If you do not receive a message within 24 hours, please contact Morgan Murray-Zimmerman at morgan.murray@monticello.k12.ia.us or 319-320-1132.
*If you do NOT want to receive text messages from the MCSD, simply do not respond to the text message.
Each parent/guardian that has a student enrolled at MCSD will also get our email notifications. In order to get these text messages and emails, you need to be sure you have a valid cell phone # and email in your Infinite Campus account. LOGIN TODAY and verify your information!
