Registration Email Reminder and PTO link

This was emailed on July 23 at 4:45... Parents & Guardians, This is just a reminder that you can now begin the online registration process including paying fees.  All parents were assessed the Registration fee (which has been combined this year with the technology fee) and an Activity fee.  If your student is NOT playing a fall sport OR in a music class, you don’t have to pay the activity fee right now. But if your student is in a music class or playing a fall sport this year, you will need to pay the activity fee during the registration process. The activity fee is a one-time fee, regardless of the number of activities in which a student participates.      Below are the same links I included in my email earlier this month. Student Information (important dates, fees, yearbook info., school pictures., PTO) Registration Instructions   New Student Orientation (this is the same as what was shared previously) Sports physicals can be dropped off in the office between 7:30a-3:30p.  The

Grandparents Day

 Friday was a great day at MJHS.  We shared breakfast and lunch with our students' grandparents during our annual grandparents day.   It is always great to have our grandparents in the building for a meal and visiting a couple of classes.  The classrooms and the lessons presented daily may look a little different but from the past, but what hasn't changed over the years is our teachers continued dedication to our students.  I think our families got a glimpse of that on Friday.   Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to make this happen once again.  I'm not sure how long we have done this, but it is suspected it's been at least 30 years.
