Please note that a revised MJHS practice schedule has been uploaded to the MJHS athletic page. The changes do not effect this week.

The MJHS fall practice schedule has been uploaded to the MJHS athletic page. Please take note of the times that practices begin and conclude, as it is important that athletes have rides available once practice has concluded. Also, just a reminder that we request that parents wait in their cars for their student athletes. We will have a number of teams practicing at once, and we must follow the guidelines provided regarding the 100 person limit at all outdoor gatherings. As always thanks for the patience that you have exhibited throughout, lets enjoy the rest of the fall.

Below you will find the link to the Covid 19 screening app created by Northern Light. Athletes can simply add the app on their phone and show the coach the green check mark prior to the start of practice. https://covid.northernlighthealth.org/covidsportscheck

We need your help getting paperwork properly signed. We've returned forms to many of our students. One form is the green colored computer Acceptable use Policy or AUP. That paper needs to be signed in order for your child to use and take home their laptop. The other paper is the yellow Student Profile. This page requires a signature on both sides and some parents missed the second signature. Thank you for your help!

In case the previous link to the Extra- Curricular Handbook would not open try this Handbook; https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/369763/Extra_Curricular_Handbook_19-20.pdf

In lieu of a fall parent meeting I have created a slide show that will describe the measures we have taken to provide athletics for our student athletes this fall. Your son or daughter will be bringing home an assumption of risk form that will need to be signed by both you and your child. On that form you will see that there is a place for you to denote that you have watched the slideshow and read the Extra -Curricular handbook. Please see below that I have attached links for both the handbook and slideshow below.

We know that students and parents are wondering if there will be fall sports options at MJHS. We hope that there will be agreed upon guidance from State organizations this week. The next step after that is for the RSU No. 67 Board of Directors to discuss and decide how to proceed at their meeting on Wednesday, September 16th.
