Macdonald Drive Junior High

Hello to our MDJH community. We hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Christmas break. School will be resuming tomorrow, January 4th, in an on-line format. Here are some notes to help you have a successful First Day back at MDJH.

• Tomorrow, January 4th, will be Day 5 on the schedule.
• Students will follow their regular 5 period schedule, just as if they were attending in person.
• Here is our daily schedule:
  • Period 1 – 8:13 – 9:10
  • Period 2 – 9:11 – 10:0
  • Recess – 10:08 – 10:23
  • Period 3 – 10:24 – 11:21
  • Lunch – 11:21 – 12:14
  • Period – 4 12:15 – 1:12
  • Period 5 – 1:13 – 2:10
• Students will start the day in Period 1, as there will not be a homeroom period.
• Attendance will be taken in each period. Students are expected to attend every class, just as if we were in the school itself.
• Recess and lunch breaks are built into the schedule. Students should use that time to stretch and move about, use the washroom, or grab something to eat.
• Classes may not last the full scheduled period, and will be a combination of different teaching strategies. There may be direct teaching, group work, individual assignments, etc. Each class will be conducted at the discretion of the teacher in charge.
• The Google Meet link for classes will be in each teacher’s Google Classroom.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s subject teacher, or the administration.
