Did you know about our partnership with Rural Virtual Academy?

Minocqua J1 students can enroll with the RVA full time or take World Language classes in 7th & 8th grade.

If full time virtual schooling interests you and your family, student registration for 2026-2027 school year opens on February 2nd! If you have any questions or would like more information, please reach out to Dayle VanderLeest (dvanderleest@mhlt.org or 715-356-5206)

Dear MJ1 Families,

Due to current circumstances, we feel compelled to remind you that we have community resources available to help with food related needs. We have included a Google form sign-up for Hope in a Backpack, Thanksgiving Meals, and Christmas Meals. If your family is interested, please sign-up for the ones you would like and we will contact you with more information. We have also linked a food resource guide from FORK, Oneida, and Vilas counties with available food security resources in our area. If you have any questions, please reach out to either Ms. Bandur or Ms. Sandstrom.

MHLT Families,

The NEW option, Transversa My Ride K-12 App, is available to access your child's bus information.

If you have filled out the Formstack survey, your child's route information will now be viewable in the My Ride K-12 app.

If you choose to download the My Ride K-12 app you will need your child's student ID which can be found in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.

If you have questions related to your child's busing information please contact Lakeland Area Bus Company at (715)356-5984.

After-School Resource program offers a great opportunity for students to work on homework and finish projects. Students can get help from the teacher and will have access to computers. Agreement has to be filled out & signed to participate.

Please read the attached forms regarding HOPE in a Backpack program or possible eligible donations throughout the school year for families in need. We care about you because we are family!!

We're back at it again!! Help the 8th Grade raise FUNds for this school year.
