Our Annual MDJH Curriculum Night takes place tomorrow night (Thursday, September 19th) here at the school.

This year we have some changes to how the evening will be run. Please refer to the schedule below to see when you can attend:

• 6:20pm – Doors open
• 6:30pm – Parents and guardians of our Grade 7 students only are asked to come to the gym for a meeting with our administrative team.
• 7:00 – 8:00pm – Grade 7 parents and guardians will visit the classrooms of the Grade 7 teachers.
• 8:00 – 9:00pm – Grade 8 and 9 parents and guardians will visit the classrooms of the Grade 8 and 9 teachers.

It has been brought to our attention that, on the Power School App, you are unable to see the Day 1 schedule but can see the actual day of the week and date. So, to avoid confusion for all of you, we will follow today’s schedule – Thursday, September 19th, 2024 (Day 5) – as seen on your app instead of Day 1 as previously stated. Please consult with your youth as well for assistance in finding the information prior to arriving at our school.

We will ring the bell every 10 minutes to let you know when to switch classes and proceed to your next teacher.

We will have our student council members here to assist with finding classrooms as well in the event that you get lost.

We hope to see you here!
