Illinois School Summative Designation
I wanted to share our Summative Designation that was just released by the state of Illinois. Please see below that we received a "commendable" status again this year. The only level above “commendable” would be "exemplary" which means you are in the top 10% of schools. We were only 4 points away from being “exemplary”. We out performed 80% of Illinois schools. We will continue to work to improve the areas of Math Growth and student Chronic Absenteeism. A student is counted as chronically absent when they miss 18 school days, which is 10% of the school year. Please help us improve this area by getting your child to school on time each day. For more details you can view our school’s information by going to this website, Illinois School Report Card

Dental Safari coming to MJHS January 8th!
MJHS Dance December 6th
6-8pm - $7 admission
We have started the year off with a large number of discipline issues. After analyzing the data, 83% of our students have ZERO discipline incidents. This includes detentions, in-school suspensions, and out of school suspensions. We currently have 303 students enrolled at MJHS. A total of 28 students have only 1 discipline incident and 22 students (7%) have 2 or more incidents. If your child is in the 17% of students that have had a discipline incident, please talk with them about this. Any student that has at most 1 incident(detention level) in the 2nd quarter, will earn the privilege of attending a dance at MJHS on December 6th. An in-school suspension or out of school suspension will prevent a student from attending the dance. This will begin for the 2nd quarter on October 15th. All students will have a clean slate and have the opportunity to attend if they do not have more than 1 detention. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Mrs. Hayes.
Bus Transportation
We contract our bus service with Robinson Transport. If you have bus questions or concerns regarding the bus or bus routes please reach out to them at 618-309-6923.

MJHS HOUSES
All students are required to stay until 2:55pm on these meeting dates. Students will only be allowed to leave early on these dates if a parent comes to the office and signs them out.
Each house represents one of our core values.
What is Homeroom?
We have a HOMEROOM/RTI period at the end of the day from 2:33 - 2:55. This period allows for additional time for teachers to work with students that have a D or an F in their class. It is also used for students to make up assignments that they may have missed from being absent. If students do NOT have a D or an F then they are free to leave at 2:33 each day if they have a ride. Students may stay until 2:55 when the bus bell rings. Students that do NOT have a homeroom assignment have social time in the gym or cafeteria with their friends. The homeroom list is posted to the link below on Sunday evenings. The student's school ID is used to post their homeroom assignment. This list is also emailed to all students and posted in the school each Monday morning.
