Lunch News
Entrees of the Day:
THE MJHS CAFE ENTREE OF THE DAY: Student lunches cost $3.00 for a meal. An Entree, a Milk and a Veggie make it a meal… and you may add a fruit, too. Extra food choices cost extra and you will need money on your account to cover things like a second burger, cookie or water.
Things You Need to Know:
School Rule
BUS STUDENTS report to the CAFETERIA after school to wait for busses. There is time to use the restroom and gather your belongings from your locker. A teacher will call out your bus. Playing on phones and iPads is the most #1 cause of students missing the bus.

Short shorts are not in dress code. They must be mid-thigh. Please look at the dress code policy
JUST A REMINDER...NO HOODS from sweatshirts should be worn during class and in the hallways.
** NO OPEN DRINKS IN LOCKERS… NO POLAR POPS… HOT OR ICED COFFEE DRINKS… and NO OPEN SODA BOTTLES! Your lunchbox beverages must remain in your lunch box sealed until lunch.
If You are a Student with an iPad:
This announcement is for you. Your iPad is a learning AND communication device. Checking your email is a student responsibility. Not optional but an expectation. PLEASE add an alarm to your iPad if you need one, but you need to check your email at the beginning and end of every school day - and more often, if possible.
Forgotten Items
There is a shelf in the office where you can pick up the things your parents bring to school. You will not be called to the office to pick up your forgotten items. This includes student responsibility items such as PE shirts, iPads and food items. Your parents can email you when they deliver items. You are always welcome to stop by the office and look for your item between classes.
Lost & Found
LOST AND FOUND is located on the black rack outside of the cafeteria. If you have lost something, be sure to check there first and in the office. All lost and found items are donated following the end of the quarter.
