Policy Review: Truancy & Check out/Check In Policy *** Truancy: If a student is absent from class and a parent/guardian has not contacted the school to excuse that student, the attendance secretary will notify parents by phone, email, or mail of the student’s absence. If a student chooses to be absent without completing the steps outlined above, no credit will be given for make-up work. A student shall be considered truant if absent without school and/or parental/guardian permission. A student will also be considered truant for cutting class or leaving the building without following the proper checkout procedure. A forged excuse or providing an incorrect reason for absence to avoid a penalty will also constitute truancy and fall under a major rule violation as stated in the student discipline policy. *** *** Check-out/Check-In Policy: All students must officially check out at the office before leaving the school grounds. This applies to students who are 18 years of age as well. Before checking out, the student must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. If students arrive on campus any time after the first tardy bell, they must check in at the office and be issued a tardy slip before attending class.

MHS has an amazing opportunity coming up this week! We were officially chosen as a nationwide stop on the Blue Collar Tour from Western Welding Academy! We are so excited for this amazing opportunity. Western Welding Academy will be here on March 11 for this all-day opportunity for all students, not just those involved in welding. Thanks, Kami Willie and Lexie Evans, for making this possible!

We are only a MONTH away from Donkey Basketball.
