Students are not allowed in the hallways without an escort during exam times. Additionally, we will have an open campus during Wednesday and Thursday exam times. Students are not required to be on campus during times when they do not have a final exam.
Semester two will officially begin on Monday, January 27th. Please make sure your student(s) checks their schedule for any course or room changes. Additionally, the new semester is a great time to reflect on career aspirations and goals. Have a conversation with your student(s) about these and let’s continue to work together to make sure it’s a great finish to the 2019/20 school year.
Good luck on all exams and projects!
Have an awesome day and GO WARRIORS!

ACT Preparation Opportunities
The state required ACT test for all current Juniors is coming up in early March. Strong performance on this test can help our students access college admission, tech school admission, entrance into skilled trades apprenticeship programs, and can help with scholarships. Our Warriors typically do well on this test, but an increase of a point or two on the score can often lead to significant changes in opportunities for admission and scholarships. The following resources have proven to help our students who engage in them. Please consider joining one of the following opportunities. It may provide the little extra help needed to open the door for the dream opportunity for your student.

Behavior in America class Food Drive
Hello MHS Students and Families!
From January 27th - 31st, Ms. Glaser’s Behavior in America class will be running a food drive as a way to honor the work and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. All donations will go to Feeding America. Please donate non-perishable food items (no glass please!) in your 2nd hour class during this week. The class with the most donations will win a prize!
Another way to help support the food drive is by donating at the Winterizer on January 31st! The event will be held at the high school from 5 pm until 10 pm. Donations can be brought to any of the various sporting events -- Diving, Wrestling, Girl’s Basketball, or Boy’s Basketball. The teams will be having a competition amongst themselves to see which team can raise the most amount of food. You can choose which team you want your donation to count towards.
Please help us reach our goal of donating 750 pounds of food. Thank you for giving back to your community!
Sincerely,
The Behavior in America Students
