SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Chromebook Insurance
MJHS is a One-to-One Technology school. Students will be provided with a Chromebook to use at school and at home for the entire school year. There will be no charge for this, but students will be responsible for any damages that might happen to their assigned device. We highly encourage you to purchase the $30 protection plan that will cover unforeseeable damages. A new device costs $525, a broken screen is $40. It covers up to $525 in damage as long as it isn't intentional damage. VERY worth the cost. You can pay on school cash online or at the school finance office.
School Lunch
We will continue to use the new system called LINQ Connect for meal services in the 2026–2027 school year. This system will continue to make it easier for families to apply for Free and Reduced Lunch, manage lunch balances, view menus, and more—all through the new LINQ Connect online platform and mobile app.

Attendance Office Announcement
Check Out Procedures
Once students have come to school they may not leave without a parent first checking them out through the attendance office. In order to ensure the safety of our students, a parent or authorized adult must come into the office to check the student out.
Students who leave school without checking out through the front office will be considered sluffing.
Students returning to school from an appointment or coming late must check in at the attendance office before going to class.
All Nebo junior high schools are closed campuses. Students may not leave the campus during the school day without being checked out by a parent or with the approval of a school administrator. Those students who need to leave regularly (such as going home for lunch) may obtain an ongoing pass from the school administrator.
To maximize student learning opportunities, students will not be called out of class before a parent is at the school to check them out.
Tardies
Students are expected to arrive on time, ready to participate and learn. A student who arrives at school after the 7:55am bell is considered tardy. A parent must directly contact the school to excuse a first-period tardy.
During the school day, students will be marked tardy if they are not in their classrooms at the time the bell rings. Students with more than 3 tardies in a class will be required to:
Serve lunch detention.
Forfeit the privilege of attending dances and celebrations.
Detention
Detention will be served during lunch, under the supervision of an administrator or other staff member.
Phones are not allowed during detention, and detention credit will not be granted if phones are visible or used.
Students will be able to eat their lunch during detention time.
Disruptive behavior or failure to follow directions will result in detention credit not being granted.
Students who have truancies or more than 3 tardies in a class will not be allowed to participate in school dances or citizenship celebrations.
Front Office Announcement
Our school office is open to assist families with registration, enrollment questions, and general inquiries.
Office Hours
Monday–Friday
8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
DoorDash is convenient, but is NOT approved on campus. Orders will be sent away as it is not allowed. NO DOOR DASH deliveries will be accepted to the front office. We appreciate your help in this matter.
Dress Code Policy
Please take some time to review the Dress Code policies below.
Arrival & Dismissal Procedures
For parents new to MJHS, our pick up/drop off zone is not as wide as the middle school zone. Because of this, we only have one pick up/drop off lane. The other lane is to be used for drive thru only. Please only stop in the pick up/drop off lane, to ensure the safety and efficiency of the process. If you arrive early, please feel free to enter the parking area. Students will be able to quickly get to the parking area safely by using the cross walk and it will not cause a traffic back up on 1200 N.
For students riding bikes, scooters, or skateboards, please remind them that they will be responsible for securing/locking their own devices (our bike lock area will be open, but there will be racks for them to use). We also ask students not to ride their devices on campus, with all the traffic at pick up and drop off, it is safer to walk them to the locking area once they arrive. As a reminder, state law 41-6a-1115.5 states that children under 14 years old are not allowed to operate any E-bike on public roads, trails, or property without adult supervision. Additionally, no batteries from E-bikes or E-scooters can be brought into the school.
