End 1Q and Help-a-Thon Email, Oct. 11

  Parents and Guardians, Today was another “great day to be a Junior Potter!”  The Help-a-Thon was a great success!  From what I saw and heard from others, our students worked their tails off!  Here is a folder of pictures from today.  Additional pictures will be added.   I wanted to remind everyone that we do in fact have school on Monday, Columbus Day.  There have been years in the past when we had this day off from school, but not this year!  Our next days off will be for parent/teacher conferences on October 24 & 25.  Also, we do not have school on Election Day, November 5, either. Today was the end of the 1st Quarter, and report cards will be emailed home next Friday afternoon. You can still sign up for conferences.  Please use this link to sign up for an in-person conference and this link to request an email update.

Oct. 1 - Gray Team Parent Email - Teacher Appreciation

Gray Team Parents/Guardians,  Each year the Red & White Club (PTO) coordinates “teacher appreciation” breakfast/snacks for the staff on or around the first Monday of each month.  Instead of asking all parents each month to consider contributing, we will ask one team’s parents each month.  For this month, we are asking the 8th Grade’s Gray Team parents. Please consider donating to this committee for October 7.   Here is the link to this month’s schedule.   Full Link:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0845ADAE2FA0FE3-mjhs2#/ Thank you, Chris Carter Principal

8/14 Meet the Teacher Night Reminder Email

Parents / Guardians, Welcome to the new school year!  We sincerely hope everyone has had great start to the new year.   Tomorrow’s  Meet the Teacher Night  is from 6:00-8:00.  Parents will follow their student’s daily schedule, giving each class 10 minutes so you can hear details from each teacher. We encourage everyone to bring their student's schedule.  We recommend using the PowerSchool App. If you need the schedule, please stop in the office, and we will gladly print one for you.   Everyone will start in the Kiln (new gym) at 6:00 for a few brief remarks and then move to their first hour class at 6:15.  No worries, we will not mark anyone tardy.   We hope to see you all there! Chris Carter Principal BTW - If you need to leave any medication at school, here is the  form  that needs to be filled out.
