[Mjhsteam] Principal's Letter 2-11-09

Dear Parents, 

 

Thank you for everything you do to help our students and staff.  I
usually end my letters with this statement, but I can't tell you enough
how important your support is at so many different levels.  As a parent
myself, I know how much energy, time, and expense it takes to make sure
our sons and daughters have what they need to be successful.  Your
responsibility as a parent is incredibly important and sometimes very
difficult, and we respect and honor all you do.  The staff at MJHS is
also dedicated to making sure that we carry out our end of the
responsibility to ensure student success.  Together we can provide the
best possible experience for the students in our community.

 

The Winter All-School Dance will be held tomorrow evening from 6:00-8:00
p.m., at the Multi-Purpose Room.  We can always use additional parent
chaperones.  If you can help, please send me or Kevin Hill an email
letting us know that you are available, or just show up!  We will also
have teachers and administrators available throughout the event to
ensure its safety.  Please be aware that a high school basketball game
will be taking place at the Fieldhouse during our dance and parking will
be very hard to find in our main lot.  Please visit with your son or
daughter to make arrangements for pickup and drop off in an alternate
location.

 

We have several other activities going on at this time.  The Leukemia
Penny drive is almost complete, but you still have time to send a
donation with your son or daughter.  As I write this letter, many
classrooms are counting and sorting coins.  This community service
project is a great opportunity for our students to understand the
importance of helping others.  MJHS has consistently held the honor of
being the top fundraising school in the Northwest for this important
effort.  Thursday, Feb. 12 is the last day to donate

 

The African Library Project is also winding up.  Students have been
asked to bring gently used books to the MJHS library.  Picture books,
easy readers, chapter books, and games are especially needed.  Thursday,
Feb. 12 is the last day to donate to this project.

 

I would also like to thank the MJHS Parent Support Team for their part
in making our recent parent night very successful.  Over 150 parents
attended this event which gave very good information about the dangers
of underage drinking and drug usage.  The program was sponsored and
presented by the Idaho Drug Free Youth Council.

 

You probably already know that there will be no school this Friday,
February 13.  A School Improvement/Curriculum day is scheduled and our
teachers will be meeting with departments and by grade level to advance
curriculum ideas.  Our MJHS teachers will also be involved in training
to begin our process of moving to our new schedule.  Monday, February 16
is President's Day and there will also be no school that day.

 

A February calendar of events is included at the bottom of this letter
and our sports schedule is located at www.highschoolsports.net
<http://www.highschoolsports.net/> .  Please feel free to contact us at
any time for assistance, questions, or concerns.

 

Sincerely, 

 

Dale Kleinert, Principal

Moscow Junior High School
