<DIV><SPAN class=458304022-01102008>The following information has been sent from
me to MJHS parents in past years. If you have seen it before, this is
a review with no pop-quiz. The information is also attached to the 2008-09
MJHS Student Directory that is now available in the school office for $1.00 to
cover the printing costs. Our MJHS Parent Support Team recently updated
this document to help keep communication lines open. We hope you
find the MJHS Student Directory useful. Please stop by the
office anytime to pick up your copy. Your son or daughter is also welcome
to purchase a copy.</SPAN></DIV>

advice is just plain old common sense, and some of the advice comes from years
of sometimes very painful experiences with thousands of students and parents.
