HONESTY is our February Character Word of the Month
Hello MJT Families:
Here we are heading into mid-February. It was nice to feel that sunshine this week while it lasts. Whether you are home relaxing, on the run (probably this the most), watching the Super Bowl or thinking about Valentine's Day, make sure to take some time for you and your family.
Here are a few items to note:
Winter Break-February 21-25
Superintendent's Conference Day-Friday, March 11
See below for Pre-K and K Registration information for next year.
Please do not hesitate to contact our main office or me directly if you have any questions or comments.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine's Day!
Respectfully,
Paul

- 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.
