Technical Difficulties – Phones at MDJH

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our phone lines, possibly due to the windstorm of this past weekend. We have been in contact with our phone service provider, and the issue is being addressed. In the meantime, if you are trying to contact a staff member at the school, please use email as that has remained unaffected by the problem we are experiencing.

Pi Day / Breakfast Club Food Drive

The MDJH Math Department is having a fundraiser to support the KES Breakfast Program. Homerooms are challenged to bring in food items, or paper bowls and plates, and the first class to reach 314 points by March 14th (PI Day) will win a pizza party! To see how many points your donations will earn, see the chart below:
