Parent Teacher Conferences Wednesday and Thursday (September 29th and 30th)

Please plan on attending Parent Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, September 29th or Thursday, September 30th.

Wednesday 3:30-7:30 PM
Thursday: 3:30-7:00 PM

For those of you who are unfamiliar with how Parent-Teacher Conference works, the following information should be helpful.

Location: Gym

The teachers are all in the gym. You may visit one or all of your child's teachers. Teachers will meet with parents on a first come-first serve basis. The teachers do their very best to keep their conversations short, but please be aware that there can be some long wait times. Please do not let this deter you! There are seats for you so that you don't have to stand in long lines.

It may be helpful to check Skyward before you come so that you are well informed about how your student is doing in a particular class.

You don't attend EACH night; only pick one.

The Principal and Vice Principals will be available if you have any questions.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call the office.

NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1ST!

6:00 PM 20 Minute General PTSA Meeting in the Auditorium

All parents and students are encouraged to become members of the Mount Jordan Middle School Parent/Teacher/Student Association. Dues are only $4.00. Even if you can only help "once in a while," it is a great organization trying to make a real difference at the school. You will be updated via email of volunteer opportunities. Please consider joining and making a difference.

At the 6:00 PM meeting, you will be given more detailed instructions on the rest of Back to School Night. Each grade (7th, 8th, 9th) will have a grade-specific meeting. The night ends with parents and students able to visit classrooms and teachers to ask specific questions. Your students should have received and signed disclosure statements by Thursday, so if you have any questions about class requirements, this is an excellent time to ask.

This event was really successful last year, and we are hoping you come to Back to School Night this year and enjoy the free hot dogs and get to know your teachers!

WALK IN REGISTRATION

Registration packets will be mailed out in early July. Previously, packets were mailed into the school and processed. This year, Mount Jordan is trying something a bit different. There will be three walk-in registration days available. Parents are encouraged to bring completed packets into the school. This experience will provide a "one stop shop" for you to complete paperwork, ask questions, pay fees, pay for and pick up P.E. clothes, meet with school counselors, find out information about required immunizations and learn about the Parent-Teacher Student Association efforts.

Your registration packet will include all of the information about walk-in registration. Of course, registrations may also be walked into the school during normal school business (summer) hours, but parents are encouraged to participate in walk-in registration.

The dates of walk-in registration:

• Monday, August 9th, 7:00 AM-12:00 PM (early hours to accommodate working parents)
• Tuesday, August 10th, 7:00 AM-11:00 AM (early hours to accommodate working parents
• Wednesday, August 11th, 2:00 PM-6:00 PM (evening hours to accommodate working parents)
