students to concentrate on their important work left to be done. The next
several weeks are very busy as we begin to end large projects and start to wind
up our academic year. Most MJHS students are now registered for the 2010-11
school year and we are busily developing our Master Schedule and course
selections for next year. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

p.m., in the MJHS Multi-Purpose Room. We are in need of parent chaperones and
if you can spare the time, we would love to have you come and enjoy some
quality time with our students. If you are able to help, please contact Kevin

ton of state mandated tests this last week and we are finishing up our make-up
tests for those students who were absent or didn’t finish during the regular
testing session. Preliminary reports show that many of our students made great
gains. We will mail individual reports by hard copy to all parents as soon as
we receive them from the State Department of Education in mid-June.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

program this year. Multiple activities have been available for students and
one more is coming up very soon. On April 28<sup>th</sup>, we are co-sponsoring
a “Fill The Racks” event that encourages students to walk, ride, or
glide to school. Of course, we will be emphasizing safe riding tips and also
encouraging all students to wear their helmets. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Just recently one of our parents came to school to let us know that
some harassing messages were directed at her child from other children on a
social networking website. A Moscow Police Department investigation is ongoing
to determine who wrote the mean words. In addition, one of our students sent a
message to those involved that simply said, “Stop This – It Is
Wrong!” The parent who brought us the messages wanted us to compliment
the student who stood up to the bullies and consequently was able to stop a
string of hurtful messages. If your child sees inappropriate messages, please
encourage them to do the right thing and help stop the online bullies. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

educational opportunities that our students receive each and every day. In
