HONESTY will be our February Character Word of the Month
Hello MJT Families:
I guess winter found us as Punxsutawney Phil has made his mark with the weather and season. Stay warm this weekend.
In order to foster our safe, kind and responsible expected behaviors, we have developed a newly implemented "Think/Reflection" Form, with the help of our counseling team and staff, to support any child that may need additional guidance with behavior in school. If you see one coming home, the purpose is to connect positive behavioral supports to students.
Here are a few items to note:
February 10, Hudson Headwaters Dental Program is going to present to all our classes on dental care.
Superintendent's Conference Day-Friday, March 11
Will be completing iReady testing soon.
Please do not hesitate to contact our main office or me directly if you have any questions or comments.
Have a nice weekend!
Sincerely,
Paul

COVID SAFETY:
- This letter is currently in the mail to all families regarding changes at the local and state levels regarding COVID-19 protocols. This information has also been placed on social media and the school website. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LuAKLz1qklFGHP3-7fawGaxNp1ZeITsA/view?usp=sharing
- Only students who are under an official order to quarantine by the county/state may receive remote instruction. A Google link will be sent to families from the teacher. You can also arrange to pick up any materials that may be needed for instruction by contacting your child's teacher.
- We are limiting outside guests from the building.
- If a student is excluded from school, you will receive a phone call after we complete the contact tracing ASAP with details. The county officially orders the quarantine and the return date.
Mask Use
Masks are required by Commissioner's regulations -- which are the rules schools must follow: "all students, personnel, teachers, administrators, contractors, and visitors must wear masks at all times indoors, regardless of vaccination status."
Masks are required to be worn whenever students/staff are moving outside on school grounds where 6ft distance can not be maintained. This includes arrival and dismissal since our student groups tend to move into smaller groups of students as they enter or leave. Once off campus, students do not need to wear masks.
Students may remove masks if they are receiving nutrition/nourishment.
