Mattanawcook Jr. High School

The 8th grade teachers would love to share information about the progress your 8th grade student has made this year. We are offering "exit conferences" on Tuesday June 1 and Wednesday June 2. Your 8th grader will be bringing home a sign-up sheet for you to look at. Your "conference" can be an email, phone call or zoom meeting at a time convenient for you. The team feels it is really important to touch base with you one more time and we hope you feel the same. Please be looking for the sign-up sheet and return it ASAP. Thanks for all you have done to support your kid(s) and the 8th grade team this year!!
