MCJHS Awards Day May 23 at 9am in the auditorium

Your 8th-grade student will need to have some things completed prior to registering for their 9th-grade school year. They will need to have a current school physical completed (NOT A SPORTS PHYSICAL), the school physical will count as their sports physical, so you DO NOT need to have a separate physical done if they intend to play sports. You will be receiving your child's health forms that need to be completed in the mail. Please watch for these and do not wait until the last minute to have them completed, the physicians fill their appointments quickly. Also, your child will need to have a dental exam completed by May 15, 2026. Dental Safari will come to see our students in September if you would like to utilize that option. More information will come on Dental Safari. If you have any questions, please call me at 618-262-5104, ext 1112. Stephanie Kolb RN, BSN, PEL-CSN

Summer School Driver's Ed: If your student is going to be a Freshman AND is (or will turn) 15 this summer or before the end of August *OR PLANS TO BE IN THE MARCHING BAND*, they will need to sign up for summer school driver's ed. I will take care of signing them up when I meet with them in the next couple of weeks, but please note that the cost is $75 and can be paid in the main office with a check made out to MCHS. Please also see the schedule at the link below to be sure there are no conflicts, and note that students cannot miss more than one day. If they miss that one day, they must attend the make up day at the end of the class. If this conflicts with your summer plans, we will make other arrangements during the school year. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CeY3dI9SMWhym5W0jnAxdYPpyF_aXsACcWAsq7BuSGY/edit?usp=sharing

Incoming Freshmen Parents: Please check your student's English Google Classroom or the class Facebook page to look over the high school course catalog and four year plan. Your student will be called up in the next few weeks to select classes for Freshman year. Please talk with them about their choices this week before they have to select classes. Your student has been informed of their math and science recommendations. If you have questions please email: tniduaza@wabash348.com
