Reminder: Thursday, Oct. 22 will be the first PLC two-hour delay of the 2026-27 school year. On PLC two-hour delays, employees will begin their regular workday while students arrive two hours later than their usual start time. Bus pickup times will also be approximately two hours later than normal. The YMCA will reach out directly to families with children enrolled in the Club Kid Extended Day Program with more information about childcare on this day.
What is a PLC Two-Hour Delay?
During the 2025-26 school year, the Monticello Central School District expanded its use of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to strengthen teaching and learning across the district.
Through this work, teachers collaborate to review student learning, share effective instructional practices, examine curriculum and identify ways to provide additional support or enrichment.
Monticello will continue building upon last year’s PLC work throughout the 2026-27 school year, but will utilize a series of two-hour delays, instead of half days. Dedicated time for teacher collaboration is also included as an action step in the district’s new Blueprint for Excellence strategic plan.
2026-27 Scheduled PLC Two-Hour Delays:
- Oct. 22
- Dec. 10
- Jan. 21
- Feb. 10
