<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

complete projects, assignments, and tests. The last day of the quarter is this
Thursday, and there is no school for MJHS and MHS students this Friday, April 2,
only. The day is scheduled as a work/grading day for MJHS and MHS teachers. All
MSD <u>elementary students</u> have no school on Thursday and Friday, April 1
& 2.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'>Earlier this year we asked for parent help to monitor Internet usage at
home. Of concern at the time was inappropriate usage of social networking
Websites. Once again, we have learned that some of our students are making up
social networking WebPages for other students without their permission as a
form of harassment. We have worked with some students who are being harassed
even though the activity is not happening at school. We are involved and will
attempt to help as much as possible because the issue has started to carry over
into the school day. It is important to note that students are blocked and
have no access to social networking sites at school. Please monitor your son
or daughter’s Internet use and help them make good decisions about social
networking while online. If you are unable to monitor on a consistent basis,
there are several software tools that you can purchase that give you the
flexibility to view complete historical activity. We have heard that “PCPandora”
is one of several good monitoring tools.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

the MJHS Multi-Purpose Room this Friday night from 7-10 p.m. Only MJHS ninth
grade students and their pre-invited and approved guests are eligible to attend
this event. This dance is advertised as a “dress-up” activity, and
it is important to note that MJHS does not endorse expensive clothing and
activities such as formals, tuxedos, limo rentals, expensive restaurant meals,
etc. If you would like to chaperone this dance, please contact Kevin Hill via
email or school phone.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'>Our annual mandated Idaho Standards Achievement Test season begins on
April 12 and ends on April 23. During the two week session, we will give over
2100 different tests to all students at MJHS. Seventh and ninth graders will
take a Science, Math, Language, and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Reading</st1:City></st1:place>
test. Eighth graders will take everything except a Science test. We will be
on a special schedule during the testing session and it is posted on the “Principal’s
Page” at the MJHS website for planning purposes. The advice we give during
this session is to make sure your son or daughter gets plenty of sleep and
hearty breakfasts before testing days.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'>Speaking of food, our school meal program is an incredible deal for
students. Our school Nutritionist, Mimi Pengilly works hard to provide healthy
and appealing meals for all of our district’s students and the following
information from her gives important information to you regarding the program.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'>In the breakfast program we offer a rotation of menu items throughout
the week, including a main entrée and choices. All of our cereals are whole
grain cereals. We offer whole grain toast and homemade muffins with at least 50%
whole wheat. The pancakes, waffles and French toast also include whole grains.
We offer fresh fruit as a choice to 100% fruit juice everyday. We continue to
offer foods like coffee cake on a limited basis because they are student
favorites but do not fit the nutrition standards and cannot be offered
everyday.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'>The lunch program has seen many changes. We comply with the nutrition
standards that limit how often we can offer prefried foods. We can continue to
offer these foods, but not as often during each week. As we have featured for
the past several years, there is a main menu each day and other entrée choices
to fit student preferences. All meals come with side dishes including a fresh
veggie bar, fresh fruits, and 1% white and fat-free chocolate milk. We have
decreased how often we serve chips or prefried potatoes with the lunches. When
we do serve chips, they are whole grain or baked chips. Many foods are now
made with whole grains, including the pastas, tortillas, pizza crust, burrito
shells, even the corn dog batter. We have introduced new foods to the menu
this year including Turkey Carnitas (shredded turkey tacos) and Mandarin
Chicken with rice and stir fried veggies. Low sodium turkey breast is used in
the sandwiches. We continue to make many of the entrees in our school kitchens
and still bake rolls from scratch. The nutrient averages are posted on the
bottom of the menus each month. These show that the meals provide enough
calories, vitamins, minerals and fiber for the growing student, with limited
amounts of sodium, and fat. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
