FROM DOAN'S DESK....
Welcome back Yotes!
We have had a great start to the school year this week. It was nice to have our building full of students after a summer of construction.
We invite everyone to attend our Back-2-School Night on Monday, August 18th at 5:30pm. This year, we are doing something a bit different with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the building to see the new spaces. We are also planning to grill some hot dogs and hamburgers on our newly accessible patio at the back of the cafeteria.
Back-to-School Night Schedule:
- 5:30pm- Ribbon Cutting (Outside at the Main Entrance) with a Welcome by Mr. Doan
- 5:30-6:20pm- Building Tours and BBQ (Food will be on the back patio of the Cafeteria)
- 5:50-6:20-Freshman Parent Meeting with Mr. Doan and MOHI Counselors
- 6:30-7:49pm-Follow Your Student's Schedule and Meet Their Teachers
