Moving Right Along: Ready for Classroom Remodeling!

 

Moving Right Along: Ready for Classroom Remodeling!

What an exciting start to our summer construction! I'm thrilled to report that ABM, our construction partner, has completed the demolition phase of our classroom remodeling project, and they are now ready to begin the remodeling phase. And even better news: they're moving right along on schedule!

If you've been by the school, you've probably seen the activity. For the past two weeks, their teams have been working diligently, carefully and efficiently clearing out the designated classroom spaces. This essential first step creates a clean slate for the modern, innovative learning environments we're envisioning for our students.

It's always a bit chaotic during demolition, but I've been so impressed with the professionalism and precision of the ABM crew. Now that the dust (literally!) has settled, we're looking forward to seeing the transformation begin. Walls will start going up, new layouts will take shape, and we'll begin to see our vision for enhanced classrooms come to life.

We'll continue to provide updates as the project progresses. We're committed to creating the best possible learning spaces for our students and staff, and it's fantastic to see such positive momentum right from the start.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your continued support as we work to improve our school facilities!

Dr. Robert Motte 

Superintendent of Schools

Additions to the Hound Hub at the Middle/High School

Brewing Confidence & Building Skills: Expanding Real-Life Opportunities in the Hound Hub As we continue shaping the future of “ The New Modern Monessen,” one of our most important responsibilities is preparing every student—not just academically, but for life beyond the classroom. That’s why I’m excited to share two exciting initiatives we’re working on right here in the Hound Hub at the middle/high school, specifically designed to provide meaningful, real-world experiences for our life -skills students. First, we have developed a student-run coffee shop inside the Hound Hub. This space will not only serve fresh coffee and light snacks to staff and students, but more importantly, it will serve as a hands-on learning environment. Our life skills students will take on responsibilities ranging from customer service and money management to food preparation and inventory. The goal is to give students the confidence, independence, and workplace experience they need to succeed in life....

Unleashing Potential: The Greyhound Learner Profile

  Unleashing Potential: The Greyhound Learner Profile By Dr. Robert Motte At Monessen, we know that great teaching starts with truly understanding who our students are—not just academically, but behaviorally, socially, and emotionally. That’s why we’ve developed the Greyhound Learner Profile , a practical and powerful tool that gives our faculty and staff deeper insight into every student we serve. The Greyhound Learner Profile is built around three key contributors: RISAC Code The RISAC Code identifies students’ dominant learning and thinking styles. Whether a student thrives through reflection, interaction, structure, action, or creativity, this framework equips our educators to adjust instruction to match how students process information best. E-Colors  This personality tool helps us understand how students approach learning, relationships, and challenges. E-Colors (e.g., Red for action-driven, Blue for empathetic, Yellow for social, Green for structured) foster aw...
