MJHS Ski Club sign-ups will begin on Monday, January 6th, when we return to school. Students will sign-up on clipboards in the cafeteria during their lunches. Parents and guardians need to complete FamilyID registration before students will be eligible for ski club. Students whose registrations have been completed will receive a letter with information about scheduled equipment pickup dates, planned trips, costs, etc. While equipment use is free, families are responsible for returning equipment in good condition and paying for the $25 lift ticket as well as making sure their student is registered on FamilyID, has proper clothing for the weather conditions, is willing to wear a helmet, and has water and food for the trip.

12/26/24: MJHS is currently looking for an assistant ski club coach for the upcoming winter season. (The season is weather dependent, but typically from sometime in January through March.) This is a stipend position per the teacher collective bargaining agreement and includes a commitment to attend ski equipment distribution and collection after school dates as well as supervising and teaching our student skiers on Saturdays and some weekdays during February vacation at ski mountains likely to include Mt. Jefferson, Big Rock, and Big Moose. Applicants do not need to be expert skiers, but should have a familiarity with the basics, be willing to spend most of the day outside, and have enthusiasm to work with students in grades 4-8. Please email your interest and/or questions to Sarah Hainer at shainer@rsu67.org.

Here are the November Breakfast and Lunch Menus for MJHS!

11/1/24: MJHS will be hosting conferences for parents and guardians on Thursday, November 21st and Monday, November 25th from 3:00-6:30pm. Families will receive sign up information from homeroom teachers at least a week before these dates. Parents and guardians will have the opportunity to discuss their student's academic, social, and behavioral progress with the teacher. Mrs. Berry, Mr. McCarthy, and Mrs. Hainer will also be available in the library for questions about the school and resources for students. We encourage you to attend, and to continue communicating with your student's teachers throughout their career at MJHS. Teachers can be reached by email or Class Dojo and will be provided with a message if you call the school to speak with them while they're teaching. If you have an emergent need, the best choice is to call the school at 794-8935 since teachers are not able to read emails or Dojo messages while they're engaging with students. Parent/Guardian login access to PowerSchool is available if you have not already done that. This access allows you to see grades for each class as well as assignments and attendance.
