Equal Access Initative
One of the greatest obstacles to an equitable education is access to the communication tools necessary to succeed. To help close the achievement gap, Montera Middle School will be implementing the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program or MYP starting in the 2017 -2018 School year. This will represent a major shift in our programming and will expand our course offerings to eight subject groups. The subject groups are language and literature (ELA), individuals and societies (social studies), language acquisition (foreign language), sciences, art and music, mathematics, PE, and design (electives). To support the implementation of this program, Montera is launching a one-to-one technology initiative to ensure that all students have access to collaborative learning tools in their classrooms. Please help us with the goal of having Chromebooks for every student in every classroom by donating to our GoFundMe page. Read on for the GoFundMe link.
