A Message From the Principal
Parents, I was recently informed by the owner of Pizza Shack that a large number of MJH students walk over and hang out at the Pizza Shack after school to wait for their parents. As he enjoys having a safe place for our students to grab a snack and socialize, he informed me that some of our students have been disruptive and conducting themselves in an unbecoming manner. He does not want to turn away any of our students but he says if the behavior continues, he will be forced to. He would appreciate your support. Thank you.

MONTHLY EL PARENT NEWSLETTER
below is the link for the February EL Parent Newsletter from Region 6.
WEDNESDAY LATE ARRIVAL DATES THIS SEMESTER:
Lunch Visitors
At this time and until further notice, MISD campuses are closed to lunch visitors. In addition, students are not allowed to have lunch delivered to the campus. Deliveries to students including lunches will be limited and on an emergency basis only. Students forgetting lunches will be allowed to charge a meal in the cafeteria.
MJH Parent/Student Handbook
The Parent-Student Handbook will be available on the MJH website. We encourage you to become familiar with the information contained in the handbook. Forms such as Release of Picture/Directory Information, Medication for the Nurse, Change of Address/Phone Number, and Technology Agreement are found at the back of the Handbook.
Transportation
We ask that you make every effort to request transportation changes prior to 1:30 p.m. in order for us to be certain that your student leaves in the correct manner. You may make changes by:
1. Sending a note with your child;
2. Faxing with a photo of your I.D. to 936-276-3301. Please include your student’s first & last name on any change. Emails or texts to teachers, phone calls to the front desk, and student-relayed messages are not requests that we honor for safety reasons.
· MJH CAR RIDER LINE/BUS POLICY
Due to the continued growth of MISD, we will no longer allow extra riders to ride the bus routes. Only registered riders will be allowed on the bus routes. We highly encourage students to car-pool to school due to the high volume of traffic and limited parking during the morning hours.
