Mattanawcook Jr. High School

We have received many questions regarding dressing up for Halloween at school this Friday. Students will be able to dress up if they are able to follow the guidelines listed below: MJHS Halloween Costume Guidelines 1.) Dress code – all regular MJHS dress code policies apply. 2.) Masks- you must be able to see, breath, and hear. Any mask that prevents staff from identifying students will not be allowed. Additionally, students must be able to wear their regular protective mask. 3.) Violence – no pretend “prop” weapons such as guns, knives, or swords. Fake blood or other liquids that could stain clothes is not allowed. 4.) Appropriateness – costumes cannot promote use of drugs, alcohol, or violence of any kind. Costumes may not be offensive or inappropriate in any way. 5.) All students participating must come dressed in their costumes.  Time is not permitted for getting ready in the building. Students who wear costumes that do not follow the costume guidelines listed above will be asked to change their clothing. 

Red Ribbon Week at MJHS! Please join us in our MISSION to help keep kids drug-free. Next week, Nov. 2-6, will be Red Ribbon Week at Mattanawcook Junior High. This is the largest drug-abuse prevention campaign in the nation. The challenges our youth face today are not the same as when we were growing up, but our desire to keep children and families drug-free has never changed: support our nation’s families and communities in nurturing the full potential of healthy, drug free youth.

The MJHS yearbook advisor, Jean Hanington, will be taking student pictures on Friday, 10/23, for any students who did not have their picture taken on 10/14. In-person pictures will be in the morning at MJHS. Remote student pictures will be from 1-2pm at MJHS. Please call the school to let us know that your student plans to have a picture taken.

The MJHS fall practice schedule has been uploaded to the MJHS athletic page. Please take note of the times that practices begin and conclude, as it is important that athletes have rides available once practice has concluded. Also, just a reminder that we request that parents wait in their cars for their student athletes. We will have a number of teams practicing at once, and we must follow the guidelines provided regarding the 100 person limit at all outdoor gatherings. As always thanks for the patience that you have exhibited throughout, lets enjoy the rest of the fall.
