Mifflin County Junior High is committed to maintaining a positive and responsive school environment. If you have a concern or complaint about Board policy and procedures, programs, personnel, operations, or facilities, concerns should be addressed directly with the teacher, staff member, or administrator involved.

To support this goal, we ask that families review the Student Handbook for Secondary Education, which outlines important policies, expectations, and guidelines. We encourage parents and guardians to read through the handbook with their student to ensure everyone is familiar with school rules, attendance policies, and behavior expectations. Please note that as policies change, the Student Handbook may be revised accordingly.

Parent Conferences are on November 23 and 24. These are the two dates for parent conferences. However, parents can request a parent-teacher conference at any time. Parents can contact the teacher, school counselor, and/or principal to schedule a parent-teacher conference. More information to come from Mrs. Manges.

 

While we have added flexibility in how we offer parent-teacher conferences in November, the available times still do not work for some parents. We want to remind them that parent-teacher conferences are not solely available on those November dates.

Policy 105.1 - Parents/guardians and students have an opportunity to review instructional materials and have access to information about the curriculum, including academic standards to be achieved, instructional materials, and assessment techniques. To request review of instructional materials and access to information about the curriculum, including academic standards to be achieved, instructional materials, and assessment techniques, submit a written request to the building principal.

Policy 906 - Many issues can be resolved through open and respectful communication. More information on complaint procedures is provided in Policy 906 of the MCSD Policy Manual.

Policy 110 - The building principal will be responsible to ensure that no student in the school is denied participation in any school program for financial reasons and that the privacy of each student is protected. The principal will use the guidelines of the free and reduced price lunch program to determine the ability of students to provide necessary school supplies. Parents/Guardians must complete the Application for Instructional Supplies and submit required documentation when requesting free instructional supplies for students. Please contact the principal for more information and to request the application.

We handed out Over-the-Counter Medication forms to students. A parent/guardian must complete and sign this form for students to receive medication from the school nurse. If your child does not submit the Over-the-Counter Medication form to the Nurse's Office, your child will not receive medication at school. Forms are available in the nurse's office. As a reminder, students are NOT permitted to carry any medications on their person during school hours. This includes cough drops, medicated creams, eye drops, or anything else that is used for medicinal purposes. Any medication required to be taken at school MUST be transported to school by a parent/guardian or designated adult and accompanied by a physician's order. Parents and guardians are required to sign medications into the nurse's office at drop-off. If your child requires an inhaler, a new physician order must be submitted to the school nurse EACH school year before your child can carry an inhaler on their person. Failure to do so is a violation of the MCSD Medication Policy.

Our district is proud to foster a strong sense of community through various events and involvement opportunities.
