In an effort to cut down on mailing costs, a new procedure for the monthly newsletter will begin with the October newsletter, however, the Aug./Sept.  newsletter will be mailed.  We will be sending the menu/newsletter with the students and posting it on the Junior High web page.  Information will be posted at www.morrisonschools.org.  

Lanyards are available for sale in the office.  This is a convenient way to keep track of lunch cards.  The
cost is $2.00.

On the first day of school, students received the 2010-2011 Handbook. Parents and students are highly encouraged to read through the first portion of the book, as these pages contain MJHS rules and guidelines and other helpful information. Students, teachers and PARENTS are required to sign the form stating the handbook was received and reviewed.  Handbooks may also be viewed online at www.morrisonschools.org/jhhandbook.
