Thank You!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to the many parents who helped out or sent in items for the Back to School Teacher Breakfast.  We had a great response from you and the breakfast was greatly appreciated by the teachers and staff at MJH!  Also, a big thanks to those who volunteered to help out in handing out student schedules on the first day of school.  We appreciate your help in fulfilling our volunteer needs.  Throughout the year we will send out emails looking for volunteers to help out or to send something to school.  Thank you in advance for supporting MJH.  We know everyone is busy (some more than others), so we appreciate any help we can get.  If you know that you'd like to volunteer this year, please contact us at mjhptomailbox@gmail.com
Meet the Teacher - Sept 6
Meet the Teacher at Montgomery Junior is Thursday, September 6 from 6-8pm.  Report to your student's first period class promptly at 6pm.  This night is for parents and students are not required nor encouraged to attend.   Meet the Teacher letters were handed out yesterday during 7th period to the students. If the letter did not make it home, click here for a copy of the letter that parents can use that evening by filling out their student's schedule.  Spirit wear will also be available for purchase at Meet the Teacher.  If you know someone who has not signed up for PTO, September 6 is a great time to sign up.
