balls hitting rackets on the MJHS campus. This is a significant statement
because I can’t remember a time in my career at MJHS when we have been able
to be on our fields so early in the spring. Last year we barely got to
play on our baseball field during the spring season because of snow and
incredibly wet weather. Because of the early start, there is plenty of
interest in spring sports. At the bottom of this letter you will see important
information about the 7<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> grade Track
program. You can also see additional start times for all of our spring
activities at <a href="http://www.highschoolsports.net/">www.highschoolsports.net</a>.
We hope your son or daughter is able to take part in some of the
outstanding activities that we offer.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

fundraiser takes place. We have multiple contests throughout the school
to raise as much as possible for this worthy cause. It is one of three
fundraisers that our school participates in, and we have always been the top
fundraiser in the Northwest Region. Last year we raised over
$4000.00. All funds raised go to the Leukemia Foundation. We do not
sanction door to door fundraising and hope that you can spare some change from your
piggy banks for this activity. Checks are welcome and should be written
to “Leukemia Foundation”.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Friday, March 12. Over the years during long breaks some of our students
have gotten into mischief unless supervised. I have posted a “Parent
Guide” at the Principal’s Page on the MJHS website. I hope it
has some ideas to help you support your son or daughter’s free
time. I know they don’t want us watching over them, but they need
us now more than ever. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

our eighth grade students and their parents are invited to their ninth grade
orientation. The event is planned to give important information about
high school requirements and is especially important for all students in the
class of 2014. Many guidelines have been recently adopted by the Idaho
State Department of Education and we will be explaining all of the changes as
they relate to students who will be graduating from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName

final day of the quarter is April 1, with April 2 being a no school day and a

up on grades and progress. As soon as the third quarter starts, we
will be starting our annual round of Idaho Standards Achievement Tests.
During April we will be giving over 2000 different tests, all on the
computer. It is a busy month and we recommend great attendance all the
time, but especially during our ISAT testing window (Apr. 12-23). Also
during that time we will be on a special testing schedule that will give
students ample time to complete their assessments without being rushed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
