<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>First of all, on behalf of the MJHS staff, I would like to thank
everyone who took the time to bring food, share positive thoughts, and
generally show your appreciation for our staff during Staff Appreciation Week.
MJHS is the largest school in the Moscow School District and everyone from
cooks, custodians, maintenance workers, resource officer, lunch duty aides, para-professionals,
teachers, secretaries, and administrators have benefited (and gained weight)
from this outpouring of kindness. We know that all of you are also busy
with your own families, jobs, and activities, and we greatly appreciate you for
your support.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Today is a busy day at MJHS. Sixth graders from throughout the community
are touring our school and registering for next year’s classes. Our
eighth grade ambassadors are giving sixth graders the “cook’s”
tour of classrooms, PE locker rooms, and showing them how they will get their
lunch each day. Natalie Stone and Kris Poncek (MJHS Counselors) are
heading up registration and orientation. It is a blast to see our new
students and get to know them for the first time. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>We have completely finished with this year’s round of the ISAT.
Every student who attends school at MJHS received some form of this assessment
that is required by the State Department of Education. Initial unverified
scores show considerable growth in many areas, and we are glad to be done with
this chapter for the year. Parents will receive assessment results after
they are finalized by the test vendor in late June.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">School District</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> website.
This change will save thousands of pieces of paper and considerable expense.
We hope it is more convenient for you. We’ve also updated the district’s
website address to simplify everyone’s life. The new address
is: <a href="http://www.msd281.org/">www.msd281.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

activities are noted on the calendar below. In addition, teachers will be
helping students get ready for end-of-year projects, tests, assignments,
etc. If your son or daughter needs to be absent from school, please
contact the office at your earliest convenience to let us know of the absence.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
