Hi MSD Families,
We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Rooms, built right into our Monticello Billies School app, offers secure and safe two-way messaging.
This addition allows Monticello School to bring the community closer together. From messages to educators, to events, to lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.
Why Rooms?
One place for every message. No more juggling multiple communication apps, flipping between inboxes, or remembering different logins.
Text notifications. You’ll get notified automatically of new messages even if you haven’t downloaded our district app.
Safe and secure. Built-in moderation and other safety tools allow us to ensure safety of all communications, at all times.
What to Expect:
Rooms will become our primary method for all communication between staff, coaches, families, and teachers.
Rooms will be live and ready for messaging with educators in August for 2026-27 school year.
We’re excited to bring our communication into one clear, connected experience for you.
Sandra Lanehart
Superintendent, Monticello School District
