Hello Trojans!
It was so great meeting so many of our families during conferences this week. Our teachers not only shared valuable insight about how students are doing, but also learned more from families about their students and how we can best support them. Those conversations are such an important part of the partnership between home and school, and we’re very grateful for a community that is willing to work together on behalf of our kids.
Next week, we’ll settle into our regular schedule and launch Targeted Trojan Time, or T3. T3 gives students dedicated time to get extra help, ask questions, get caught up, or extend their learning. It’s another support we’ve built into our school day to make sure students have opportunities to get what they need to be successful.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or need support!
Go Trojans!
-Mr. Doffing, Principal
-Mr. Zabel, Assistant Principal
MHS Regular Bell Schedule

Showing Up Matters: Show Up Prepared

A successful school day often starts the night before. Consistent routines help students arrive at school on time and ready to learn. Simple habits such as getting enough sleep, packing backpacks, charging devices, and planning for the morning can make a big difference. When students feel prepared, they are more confident and ready to make the most of their day. If you have questions about regular attendance or need support, we are here to help. Leave a comment or contact us.

Picture Retakes

Picture Retake Day is Thursday, September 17th.
All students who did not have their picture taken on August 26th will need to have their picture taken on Retake Day. Notes will be distributed to these students with their assigned picture time.
Students who need to have their picture retaken may go to the auditorium during their assigned retake time.

T3 Begins This Week

T3 returns to our schedule next week!
Students will learn about T3 and how to sign up during Homeroom on Monday.

Mark Your Calendar

If you signed up for the PSAT, it will be administered on October 20th from 8:00am to 12:00pm in the MHS Auditorium.  Below you will find a link to some PSAT study materials.

End-of-Day Pick-Up Requests
To allow our staff sufficient time to locate and prepare your student, all end-of-day pick-up requests must be received by 2:00 p.m.
If a pick-up request is received after 2:00 p.m., we will do our best to have your student ready; however, we cannot guarantee that your student will be ready at the time of pick-up.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Picking Up Your Student Early From School?

If you need to pick up your student early from school, please contact the office at 360-398-8111. We would be happy to get your student for you. If possible, please try to call at least 30 minutes in advance. We understand that emergencies happen and a last minute pick up may be needed, but it is great to have the extra time to make sure your student is ready when you arrive.

Arriving Late To School

Please remember to sign in, in the office, when you arrive at school. Make sure to write your first and last name on the sign in sheet. Remember we need to be able to read your writing.
