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.
From the Principal’s Desk:
How to make the most out of your junior high years: Take time to learn about your school. Every junior high school has its own calendar of events, attendance and tardy policies, rules and people to go to for help. If you look around your school, you’ll find teachers, a principal, counselor, librarians, tutors, secretary and custodians. ALL of these people at MJHS are here to help you have the best junior high experience possible. At some point, you are probably going to have a question concerning your locker, a class, another student or a teacher. In most cases you can get your question answered or your problem taken care of by going to the right place. However, adults at MJHS cannot help you if you do not ask. We love to help, so don’t be afraid to ask when you need some assistance.
Parents, please remember that dropping off students in the parking lot at MJHS is not allowed from 7:45 a.m. – 8:10 a.m. The parking lot can be very dangerous and most times students are not watching out for cars. Please drop off your child on Academic Drive.
Mr. Darryl Hogue
