The following were in attendance: Sandy Gibson, Lisa Morris, Julie Holt, S.J. Jung, Henrianne Westberg, Mary Jo Van Gerpen, Carolyn Birmingham, Hillary Dilworth, Marie Charles, Laurie Riley, Lisa Nelson, Deanne Clifton, Nancy Akin, Principal Dale Kleinert, and after morning duty, Assistant-principal Kevin Hill. Immediate Volunteer Opportunities Susan told of the different areas where volunteers are needed. The first was for someone to take minutes at our monthly meetings. (By the end of the meeting we had volunteers for this.) Our first parent meeting will be in October and it will be a Meet the Staff --Ice Cream Social. We need someone to work with Assistant-Principal Kevin Hill to coordinate this meeting. The meeting will start at 6:30. Also needed is a staff appreciation coordinator to line up parents to do acts of kindness for the teachers and staff, such as providing treats or salads. Principal's Report The school is using the internet more to get information to parents. Mr. Kleinert began sending a bi-weekly newsletter in August that includes parent updates to keep them in the loop about school activities. A variety of information can be found on the school's website including sports activities. Teachers are also being encouraged to put their information on the website. Mr. Kleinert plans to have separate e-mail listings for 7th, 8th, and 9th grade parents. It will take a few weeks to get these listings compiled. Mr. Kleinert emphasized that it is the school's goal to make each student's school experience a successful one and will work with the parents toward that end. This Week's Activities *There will be an assembly at school for the students to find out about the different clubs and activities that they can participate. Thursday, September 8, is Parent Back-to-School Night starting at 7:00. Ice cream cups will be served. *Friday, September 9, is School Picture Day. Junior High Representative for Facilities Committee Desiree Jacobson volunteered to be the epresentative. The committee will be looking at immediate short-term needs for schools. Financial Report The financial report will be available at the next meeting. Assistant Principal Report New Assistant Principal Kevin Hill gave an introduction of himself, telling of having worked in both California and Montana before coming here. He is a Montana native. He has enjoyed being in Moscow so far and looks forward to working with students and staff at Moscow Junior High. Future of Family Nights Last year the programs provided were informative but the turnout of families was disappointing so this year we may regroup and rethink them. We may perhaps have them more student-planned. THE MISSION OF THE MJHS PARENT SUPPORT TEAM IS TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE THE WELL BEING AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF OUR CHILDREN BY COORDINATING AND PROMOTING PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS, STAFF, AND VOLUNTEERS. ______________________________________________________ Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/ From dkleiner@sd281.k12.id.us Mon Sep 12 19:30:53 2005 From: dkleiner@sd281.k12.id.us (Kleinert, Dale) Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 11:30:53 -0700 Subject: [Mjhsteam] Bi-weekly Principal's Letter to parents Message-ID: <95E1F60B84FCFF4E8C1316844CC6C2AB02096AEA@eastside.wan.local> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C5B7C8.1B86D290 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable September, 12, 2005 =20 Dear Parents,=20 =20 MJHS is off to a great start.

We will have opportunities for students who are absent to take make-up tests, but it is very important to attend school as much as possible during the testing sessions.

If you need to have additional contact with your child's teachers, a request for a weekly progress report can be made through the counselor. When the request is made, the counselor develops a blank set of progress reports (usually nine weeks worth) to be sent to the parent. The parent then gives a blank progress report to the child each Tuesday morning before leaving for school.
