Meet Lucy
EJMHS is excited to have our own therapy dog for the 2023-2024 school year and beyond!! Lucy belongs to Mr. Hudson, our new principal, and has been a therapy dog since December of 2021 where she served as a therapy dog at Mr. Hudson’s last school. Lucy will be available to staff and students throughout the day and will spend most of her time in the office. When she is out in the building, she will be on a leash with a staff member. We look forward to Lucy working with our students!
Happy Last First Day for the Class of 2024
WEB and LINK
The day before school had a special start for our 7th and 9th graders. They were able to meet wtih upper classmen who were able to make them feel right at home at EJMHS. Our WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) students helped our 7th graders get acclimated to their lockers, schedules and room locations before the Open House. Our LINK Crew welcomed our 9th graders officially to the high school side of the building! It will be a fantastic year for all.

Medication Dispensing Information
Please sign the attached consent form if you wish to give permission for your student to receive medical care at the East Jordan Wellness Center. Medical care could include anything from treating a small cut or minor injury to receiving over-the-counter medication for a headache during school hours. Please note: No vaccinations are given at the East Jordan Wellness Center. A verbal consent from a parent or guardian will be accepted one time for the first visit; a signed consent form will need to be on-file for all subsequent visits to the Wellness Center.
A separate consent form is required if your student has prescribed medication that is scheduled to be taken during the school day. This form must be signed by you and your student’s prescriber. Please direct any questions about prescribed medications to the main office at this time.
If you have any questions about the East Jordan Wellness Center, please contact my office at
231-536-7716.
Thank you for your cooperation,
