Principal's Message

Dear Students and Families,

 

We are excited to welcome you back to school! I am looking forward to working with all of you to make the school year great. Below are some very important guidelines to follow for the first day of school:

  1. Parents and guardians, please update contact and email address information on PowerSchool.
  2. Parents and guardians, please fill out the Alternate Income Form “formerly called lunch application” at https://montebellousd.rocketscanapps.com/ or use the QR below.
  3. Once PowerSchool and Alternate Income Form are done students can look up their class schedule on PowerSchool starting August 4th using their district username and password. If parents or students have difficulties with PowerSchool please send an email to [email protected].
  4. 6th Grade or new students only – A Chromebook agreement form will be provided on the first day of school. Chromebooks will be assigned during the first week once forms are completed.
  5. The school day is from 8:00 am – 2:00 pm. We recommend you arrive promptly at school between 7:30-7:45 a.m. There are 2 entrance and exit gates, front of the school (Live Oak St) and the east gate (Jaboneria Rd.) All gates will be opened at 7:30 am and locked by 8:00 a.m. and re-opened from 2:00 pm -2:15 pm.
  6. Report to your 1st period class at 7:55 am when the first bell rings. You will be marked tardy if you arrive after the second bell rings at 8:00 am, as that is when classes begin.
  7. The Parent and family engagement policy (PFEP) and the School Parent Compact is available in the front office upon request in English and Spanish in addition it is available on our school website. https://montebello-bgi.edlioschool.com/

Students, you are expected to come dressed appropriately. An expectations assembly will be scheduled during the first week of school to go over dress code, code of conduct and rules.

 

Don’t forget to have your tools for success which includes a backpack and the following school supplies: 2 inch binder, (6) dividers, zippered pouch, pencils, pens, highlighter, line paper and a charged Chromebook.  All schoolbooks and additional school information will be distributed by the teachers during the first week of school. 

 

Cell phones are not to be used while on campus. A telephone is also available for students to use in the front office in case of an emergency. The school is not responsible for any lost or stolen cellphones. 

 

The school office is open from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm for any help. If you have any questions, please call us at 562-927-1319. Also please visit our school’s website and follow us on Instagram @bgifalcons or Facebook for updates.
