Parent Conferences
The annual parent/teacher conferences are slated for Thursday, November 4th from 1:00 – 6:45 p.m. and on Friday, November 5 from 8:00 – 11:45 a.m.. Parents should call the school to set up a 15-minute appointment with each student's team. Stop by the office to get your personal schedule when you arrive at the school, if needed. We hope to see you at conferences! Call early, appointments fill up quickly.



Concessions will be open each Friday after school - only snacks will be sold.


Each month, MJHS will send home a newsletter with your child .  It will include the month's lunch menu as well as any activities happening at MJHS and/or in the Morrison School District that pertain to our students.  Families are encouraged to keep these monthly newsletters in a convenient spot at home for easy reference.   A version of the  newsletter is posted on this web page. If you did not receive a hard copy of the newsletter and would like a copy, your child may pick one up in the office.   Remember, you can also see the Junior High Daily Assignments from our school web page, www.morrisonschools.org, as well as your child's progress reports/grades.  Please call the school if you have any questions.

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.
