7GA Parents:
Today our 7th graders met with the MJHS counselors to discuss scheduling for next year. They should have brought home a handout (see attached photo). Tomorrow, Mrs. Walton's Social Studies classes will meet with the counselors one-on-one to make choices. Coach Volner will meet on Thursday, and Coach Johnson will meet on Friday. Please look over the handout with your child so they make informed choices for Junior High!
