Important Allergy Update for 2023-2024 School Year

This is a reminder to our school community that we have the following serious and life threatening allergies here at MDJH, and therefore, they must not be brought into or consumed in the school:

  • all nuts
  • shellfish and fish
  • eggs

In addition, students and staff are reminded to always wash their hands after eating and to clean up eating areas after eating, as we also have several severe allergies to foods that are difficult to ban due to their common nature.

Families are reminded to inform their child’s Homeroom teacher of any allergies or medical needs during the first days of school, or prior to, if possible. As well, allergy and medical forms need to be updated and submitted to the school at the beginning of every school year. You can find the necessary forms here: https://mdjh.info/medical-forms/.

MDJH LEARN/EAL Art Show

This past Friday and Monday, students in the LEARN and EAL programs at MDJH shared some of the beautiful and personal artwork they created in this year. Ms. Catherine Wright, a local artist, spent 12 hours with students in the LEARN program exploring culture through printmaking and held a 2 hour intensive workshop with students in the EAL program. Both groups created some amazing work. We were happy to share this with other students, teachers, school board personnel and families this week.
