We are incredibly proud of Molly and her application for this rural scholarship. Her story reflects the opportunities, support, and dedication that define our school. This is just one example of what makes education and the sense of community at Monticello Schools so special.
But her story is just one of many. We are proud of all of our students and the futures they are building.

MONTICELLO SCHOOL DISTRICT
A Safety Message from Mr. Brokopp

Reunification Drill — Completed Successfully
Dear Monticello School District Families and Community Members,
We are proud to share that this morning, Monticello School District successfully completed our first full Reunification Drill — and we could not be more pleased with how our staff and students performed.
Today’s drill represents the final step in a multi-year commitment by our Safety Team to build a complete, practiced, and confident emergency preparedness program. This work did not happen overnight. Over the past several years, our staff has participated in lockdown drills, law enforcement-led classroom release drills, and dedicated In-Service training sessions each school year. We have invested significant time and energy preparing for crises that we pray will never occur — because we believe that preparation is the greatest gift we can give our students and families.
Reunification — the process of safely returning students to their families following an emergency — was the final piece of that puzzle. As many in our region witnessed following incidents in communities like Mount Horeb and Madison, the reunification process can be chaotic and deeply stressful for families when it has not been planned and practiced in advance. We took note. We were determined that if Monticello School District ever faced a situation requiring reunification, our families would experience a process that is calm, organized, and as reassuring as possible under any circumstances.
Today, we can confidently say that we are prepared. We have a designated reunification site, all necessary materials and documentation staged and ready, clearly defined staff roles, and — most importantly — a team that has now walked through every step of the process firsthand. Our staff and students practiced the full reunification flow this morning alongside law enforcement partners from Monticello, New Glarus, and Green County, and the results exceeded our expectations.
We feel very confident in where our safety program stands today. We also understand that preparedness is not a destination — it is a practice. We are committed to continuing to rehearse and refine these steps each school year, so that our readiness never fades and our families can always count on us.
Our students are our most precious responsibility. Everything we do in the area of safety — every drill, every training, every plan — is done with them in mind. Thank you for your continued trust and support as we work to ensure that Monticello remains a safe and welcoming place to learn and grow.
With gratitude and pride,
Monticello School District Administration & Safety Team
