Mattanawcook Jr. High School

MJHS Sport registrations are rolling in. In case you haven't yet registered your student for sports, please follow this link: https://students.arbitersports.com/mattanawcook-rsu-no-67/24-25-mjhs-fall-sports. If you have previously registered a student through Family ID, please use the same email. There is a "forgot password" button to help you continue, should you have forgotten your password. If you have not yet supplied a copy of either a sports physical or a well-child-check, you can email them to dphillips@rsu67.org. We have heard that HAN is currently scheduling sport physical appointments. If your child needs one, please feel free to call 794-6700 to make that appointment. Thank you for not waiting until the last minute to get your student registered. This allows me time to make sure everything is in place. The athlete will not be allowed to participate if all the steps are completed before the start of their sport season.

Hello MJHS Families: We are already gearing up for fall sports. Family ID will open on Monday, June 24th for you to register your athlete. The 5 sports offered at MJHS are: Golf for grades 6-8, Girls Soccer grades 6-8, Boys Soccer grades 6-8, Football for grades 7-8. Cross Country is offered to 5th-8th graders. Please note: A sports physical or a well-child-check form must be on file before the student can participate. We are trying to give you plenty of time to get this in place before the school year begins. If you have a returning athlete and aren't sure if their physical is current, you can email me at dphillips@rsu67.org. I will look into it as soon as possible and let you know. If your student has never participated in a sport at MJHS, a physical will be needed. If your child has had a well-child-check within the past 12 months, we are able to accept a copy of that in place of a sports physical. Both are not needed. If you have to make an appointment and can't get one until after the sports season starts, we will need something from the doctor's office stating the date and time of the appointment. An appointment card or a note are both acceptable forms of communications. Please watch for start dates of each sport. Some will begin before the first day of school. We will post on our website and our Facebook page, what those dates are, as soon as they are finalized. Thank you for taking a moment to take care of registering sooner rather than later. This will ensure that everything is in place to start the season smoothly.

8th grade families: Doors open for last assembly at 1:00 and it begins at 1:30 today, Tuesday, June 11th. We ask that 8th graders arrive between 1:00 and 1:15.

8th grade families: Families who requested extra tickets by sending in a note or email prior to June 4th, 2024 will receive up to four extra tickets of those requested. These tickets will be sent home with your 8th grader today. Please call us at 794-8935 before 1:45pm today if you prefer to pick your tickets up instead. For those who requested more than four, we will keep your request on file, and if more tickets become available, we will fulfill as many as we can.

The last day of school for MJHS students is Tuesday, June 11th, and there is an 11:30 dismissal that day. We hope our students and their families enjoy a happy and healthy summer vacation. We would also like to wish our 8th graders the best of success in high school!

Due to impending thunderstorms, MJHS baseball practice, softball practice, and tennis club have been cancelled today, Thursday, May 23rd. All indoor clubs and activities are still running as scheduled.

5th grade families: Unfortunately we have to postpone the concert for tonight, May 22nd, due to pigeons in our gym. Despite our best efforts to safely remove them, we have been unsuccessful. They are a distraction to our 5th grade performers and the gym is now a mess from our attempts to safely remove them. The new 5th grade concert date is Wednesday, June 5th, at 5:30pm. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to seeing you on June 5th.

The Girls B team beat Ridge View to end their season last night at home. This was a great team win and a great way to end our season of 5-1. Tenley Oliver, Emma Howe, and Khloe maris led the way on the mound for the Bobcats. Our bats were hot with several players getting hits including Natalie Cloukey, Farrah Brown, Emma Howe, Whitney Chanette, Audrie and Eliza McLellan, Amelia Sinclair and Charlotte Powers…Khloe Maris had a great hit to center field and she earned herself an in the park home run due to her aggressive base running. The girls will celebrate Thursday after school until 330; remember to bring your uniforms! GO BOBCATS!

As part of our district strategic plan, we will be conducting a school climate survey for students, families, and staff. The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete and is anonymous. The data collected will be used to identify perceptions of the school climate. District and school staff will use the results to inform next steps. Each school has a unique survey link. Here is the link for the MJHS family survey: https://www.pbisassessment.org/Anon/ZgTU00Cp4W0

Due to busing, the B Softball/Baseball will leave the school at 3:30. The games will begin at approximately 5:15 in Dexter at the Ridge View Community School. We are thankful for the bus drivers stepping up to help us out.

Unfortunately, after exhausting all possible viable transportation options to today's meet at Cohen, MJHS will not be attending. Instead, they will practice 2:30-4.

The MJHS baseball game against Warsaw today, 5/7, will be played at Manson Park in Pittsfield. The softball game will be played at the middle school. GO BOBCATS!

8th grade families, 5/3/24: Your students are bringing home an envelope containing last assembly tickets and a letter. Please ask your student for this important information. If students are absent, they will receive them when they return next week. If your family consists of two separate parent households, your student will bring one set of tickets to the home they are staying at today and we will mail the other set to the other household. (We have asked your student which household to mail it to.) The letter provides information about the date, time, number of tickets, and the process and timeline if you want to request additional tickets. PLEASE NOTE: There was an error on the tickets. The date is TUESDAY, 6/11 at 1:30. My apologies. Dolly

We have had an increasing number of students who arrive with large non-water beverages and not enough time to consume them in the cafeteria before classes begin. We ask families to remind their students that MJHS only allows water to be carried throughout the day and as a beverage in classrooms. Students who do not finish non-water beverages before going to class in the morning can finish them at lunch if they can be stored in their locker.
