Dear Monticello families,
Beginning January 1, 2025, Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) began a new division-wide policy to support student learning: Personal Device-Free Education, to create a healthier, more focused learning environment. This initiative ensures that all students can engage fully in instruction and school activities without the interference of digital distractions. Continuation of no student personal communication devices (Cell phones, Apple watches, etc) in classrooms with the extension of the policy to include Bell-to-Bell (when school begins and when school ends). This includes lunch and class transition times. No devices should be out during this time period. If a student is in possession of a personal device at school, it must be stored away the entire day.
Many high school students are involved in a variety of activities after school that often get canceled or rescheduled for a variety of reasons. In an effort to not rely on messaging to students via cell phones during the day, and because students may be at different school locations throughout the day, each high school is developing a system for students to check activities online via their computer throughout the school day.
At Monticello High School, SportsYou will be our preferred team communication platform for the upcoming school year for ALL Virginia High School League Athletics & Activities programs. SportsYou allows coaches, students, and parents to communicate in a safe, transparent, and efficient manner while not sharing personal contact information. SportsYou can also be accessed on school-issued computers so students may remain in compliance with current ACPS cell phone policies.
Parents and Students are encouraged to download the SportsYou app on your mobile device (https://sportsyou.com/home.html) and enter the Team Code provided below for your respective team(s), as well as enter Team Code "UWZT-TC3Y" for Monticello Athletics Department News & Information directly from the Athletics office.

If you have any issues joining a SportsYou group, please email me at and share which group you are trying to join, and I will respond with detailed information to assist you. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we integrate updated ACPS procedures with our school and athletics program practice.
Go Mustangs!
