This evening provides an opportunity for parents to meet their sons' and daughters' teachers, to learn of their goals and objectives, and to know of their expectations for student performance in each class.  If parents have specific questions regarding their child's performance, please make arrangements for a conference with the teacher at a later date. Questions during the brief time allowed should be of a general nature for the benefit of all.

Hello Islander Parents:

 

Our school year got off to a successful start and we have been enjoying the fabulous fall weather. Thanks to our custodial crew and our secretarial team for getting us through all of the opening festivities. I am proud of our ASB leadership for the work they have done to welcome all of our students, especially those new to MIHS. Also, our parent VOLUNTEERS were so crucial and helpful to the opening of school. Thanks very much to each of you --- without your critical help, we would not be experiencing such a strong start.

 

Construction:  This past week we have been moving classes in the 400 wing temporarily into the library while construction crews prepare that area for the new addition. We hope to have the library open and running on the regular schedule after next Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014. I realize this is an inconvenience for our students; please know there are places around school for students to study if they want quiet time. If they have questions or requests, they can inquire with the principals.

 

Pick Up and Drop Off Zones/Parking:  Many of you have noticed the new drop off and pick up zones in front of the main entrance. When you come to pick your student up in the afternoon, we ask that you please pull forward all the way to the end of the zone and stay in one lane. In other words, keep moving forward. Thanks in advance --- others will appreciate it.

 

Bridges: This year we are trying something new in Bridges. Once a month, students get to use this time to see their individual teachers about their class work, etc. This allows students to get individual help or ask questions to their individual teachers. It is also a time to work on assignments to catch up or get ahead. Attendance is important in Bridges; a student cannot have more than 3 absences. We use this time to build community, provide required training for students, and work on school--- wide initiatives in a learning community. Bridges lessons can be found on our website.

 

Daily Bulletin The best way to learn about the  daily happenings around school is to read our daily bulletin on  the website. We also have a few  hard copies that can  be found in the information  racks outside of  the main office. There is a featured section that  we have created for students called  the "PrinciPALs' section; we will  have announcements in this  section from time to  time. Again, thank you  for helping your Islander students and  staff get the school  year off to a  great start. 

 

Go Islanders!

This seminar will provide basic information and is particularly geared to freshmen, sophomores and juniors and their parents.  It will cover the overall college preparation and selection process.  Get a road map for what your student needs to be doing now!

Each College Night is divided into two parts.  At 6:00 p.m., Mrs. Hillstrom, MIHS College and Career Counselor will present a 30-minute optional Naviance Tutorial.  Naviance is MIHS' web-based service for curriculum planning, career exploration and the college choice/application/admission process.  Students and parents can use valuable research and organizational tools provided by this program.  Mrs. Hillstrom will also use Naviance for her bulk email deliveries.  Learn how to register on Naviance and about what the service has to offer at the Naviance Tutorials.  The evening's topic then begins at 6:30 p.m.
