week of school. It is a big week with lots going on. The Latah
County Fair is a big deal for most junior high students, and fair
conversations make for lots of excitement. We will start our fall
round of ISAT testing next week. Additional information about testing is
included in this letter, but first we would like to introduce everyone to the
MJHS Listserve.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=3>We always encourage students to attend
school, especially during their testing days. Every school day is
important, but if students miss on their original test date, they will have to
miss their regularly scheduled class to take a make-up. We've made every
effort for students to have enough time to do their best. Lots of sleep
and a hearty breakfast before coming to school is also<SPAN

appreciate your support during our testing seasons.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
