I am using my school-laptop because I don’t have one. It have two OS( Ubuntu and windows). Windows shows “Your PC is monitored and protected “ and I want to know if my school can monitor the laptop if I use Ubuntu.

"Your PC is monitored and protected" -- Is that the antivirus (Windows Defender) ? It may mean that the antivirus is "monitoring" your PC to protect against malware, and may have nothing to do with your school's surveillance.
In Ubuntu there is no need to use an antivirus for malware protection. Of course, if you use the school's network, they may monitor how you use their network, but they certainly cannot see which programs you run in Ubuntu, or which files you access.
If you format the Ubuntu partition as ext4 (which is the default option), Windows cannot even access the partition where Ubuntu is installed.
