MDJH Update – April 27
A couple of items to share:
School Supplies
We are now in the last stretch of the 2021-2022 school year. Please refresh your child’s school supplies. We have been receiving many requests at the office for pencils, pens and paper.
Pizza Day
On Friday, May 6, MDJH will be having a pizza day! The minister for Windsor Lake, the Honorable John Hogan, will be providing pizza to all MDJH students! There will be pepperoni and cheese pizzas, and there will be a gluten-free option available at the office.
Rapid Tests
Students will be coming home with 10 more rapid tests (2 boxes). The homeroom teachers will be distributing these to the students today.
School Community
Please remind your children to be their best selves at the food establishments and other businesses in our community. We continue to get calls complaining about the behaviour of students. Also, please remind them to use the crosswalk.
Exciting addition to our MDJH Webpage
We have added a new link, ‘Morning Announcements,’ to the main menu on the school’s web page. The MDJH community are now able to check the announcements read over the PA to students each day. They will be posted each day by 8:15.
Happy Holidays from MDJH!
Early Dismissal Tomorrow – April 14th
A reminder that students will be dismissed at 1:08 pm tomorrow (Thursday, April 14th), and regular bus runs will begin at that time.
We will reopen on Monday, April 25th, and it will be Day 1 on the schedule.
