Mattanawcook Jr. High School

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.

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.
