Pageant forms, payment and headshots due tomorrow! 👑

Current 8th grade students are still going to MJHS tomorrow but our time has changed to afternoon. They are going to tour the school, meet and hear from the counselors and administrators, and receive their course selection paperwork. There are still a number of parents who did not complete the form in Parent Square, giving permission for their student to attend. Please complete that today so that your student can join us! There will be a parent meeting tomorrow night at Mortimer Jordan High School that begins at 5:15. It will be held in the auditorium. Course selection sheets will be due back to our front office (NJMS) no later than 2/12/26. If you have any questions about the 8th grade tour, please reach out to Mrs. Stewart or to Britany in the front office. Questions about the parent meeting should be directed to the high school.
