Spirit Wear
Our main fundraiser as a PTO is through the sale of “Spirit Wear.” You will have an opportunity to purchase caps, t-shirts, hoodies, and blankets at Meet the Teacher on September 10th. Plan to come a few minutes early to shop in the school lobby. We will also take orders if your size isn’t available!
Meet the Teacher
Meet the Teacher at Montgomery Junior High is Tuesday, September 10 from 6-8pm.  Report to your student's first period class promptly at 6pm.  This night is for parents to follow their student’s schedule to visit classrooms.  Students will receive Meet the Teacher Letters/Student Schedules on Monday afternoon in 7th period for the students to bring home.
