Quote of the Week
"I love carpool duty!" -said by every 7th grader ever.
When you ask your 7th grader what you did at school today and they say, "Nothing."....
During the first week in advisory, students set up their cubbies, picked class jobs and began our daily prayers. We also drew pictures of what character traits a model student in 7th grade has. During our class meeting on Friday, we discussed Morning Carpool Crew protocol, the rules regarding 7th grade dances, our new Middle School Green Slip, and our updated Think Sheet and BCNs. Please ask your 7th grader about this new information. They can show you all of these important documents on Schoology on the advisory class page. More direct and specific information for parents will come at Back to School Night.

When your 7th grader talks about the English teacher, Mrs. Mercado, and you don't know who she is....
We are excited to introduce Mrs. Mercado who is joining the English department as a teacher for 6th and 7th graders. She is also an advisor to 7th grade students. She believes that a basic foundation of grammar and writing is crucial for living in today's world. She will be emphasizing these important skills throughout the year and collaborating with other teachers to make sure they are instilled in all 7th grade courses. She also believes in choosing books that will drive student interest.
She joins us after six years of teaching English to 6th-8th graders at St. Louise De Marillac in Covina. She is incredibly enthusiastic and eager to be part of the MJS community!
Mrs. Mercado is a lover of scary movies and can't wait for our school Harvest Festival!
