From the Principal


Congratulations to our 6th graders, we wish you all the best in the next chapters of your lives.  Always remember: Once a Knight, Always a Knight!   We will be here for you whenever you need us.

As everyone prepares to enjoy the sunshine of the summer, the sand between your toes or the late night campfires, don't forget to also read a good book, do a few math problems or create a good science experiment.  Remember, your learning never stops!  

Even though we have closed the doors on another successful school year, we are already hard at work preparing for September.   When you return you will see a completely redesigned secured entry into our building. Constructions crews are hard at work so that it will be finished for your return.   

So why we work hard on the building, you keep working hard on your brains and in September we will merge the two together for another successful school year.

Enjoy your summer and see you in September.

Brian LaPorte

Mission: The Isaac Monfort community is dedicated to providing the essential skills necessary to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring children who will become contributing members, and future leaders, of a global society.

Theme: Leaders Light The Way

Monfort students will strive to be:

  • Inquirers: Their natural curiosity has been nurtured. They have acquired the skills necessary to conduct purposeful, constructive research. They actively enjoy learning and their love of learning will be sustained throughout their lives.
  • Thinkers: They exercise initiative in applying thinking skills critically and creatively to make sound decisions and to solve complex problems.
  • Communicators: They receive and express ideas and information confidently in more than one language, including the language of mathematical symbols.
  • Risk Takers: They approach unfamiliar situations without anxiety and have the confidence and independence of spirit to explore new roles, ideas and strategies. They are courageous and articulate in defending those things in which they believe.
  • Knowledgeable: They have spent time in school exploring themes which have global relevance and importance. In doing so, they have acquired a critical mass of significant knowledge.
  • Principled: They have a sound grasp of the principles of moral reasoning. They have integrity, honesty and a sense of fairness and justice.
  • Caring: They show sensitivity towards the needs and feelings of others. They have a sense of personal commitment to action and service.
  • Open-minded: They respect the views, values and traditions of other individuals and cultures, and they are accustomed to seeking and considering a range of points of view.
  • Balanced: They understand the importance of physical and mental balance and personal well-being.
  • Reflective: They give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and analyze their personal strengths and weaknesses in a constructive manner.
