MSD114 NEW STAFF SPOTLIGHT This is my third year teaching and my second year in 3rd grade. I was born and raised in Frankfort, IL, and after spending last year teaching in Knoxville, Tennessee, I’m happy to be back in the area. Outside the classroom, I enjoy baking, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my cat and dog.

***Attention MJHS Parents and Students***
The front of MJHS is still being sealcoated after the rains Saturday night. For at least tomorrow's Locker Move-In, parents will need to enter the property and park on the west side of the building, closest to the track field area. Please use the doors closest to the library (Door 24) to access the building. We will keep you posted about the rest of the week as soon as we know.
Our technology department has been working on the issues with PowerSchool all weekend (thanks, Mrs. Leppin). We do know that when students log into PowerSchool, they can see their locker information. When parents log in, they can see transportation information. We are working on the glitch that currently doesn't allow students and parents to see both, as they should.
We will have paper copies available at Locker Move-In for those students who need it.
