SCIENCE OLYMPIAD TEAM COMPETE AT REGIONALS

Our Science Olympiad team competed at regionals this weekend, hosted at Snow College. We competed

against the top science magnet schools in the state and successfully defended last year's title. The team took top

3 in 18 of 23 events, took first place in 14 of the events, and won first place overall. It is one of, if not the best,

regional performances in school history. The team is now preparing for the state competition which will be on

March 28th at the University of Utah

Here are the individual results from the tournament:

MONDAY MAKE-UP DAYS (Bell schedule listed below) We will hold four Monday Make-up Days this school year: October 21, December 16, March 2, and May 4. On these days students will be released at 1:10pm to go to their classes and visit with teachers regarding missing assignments, grades, etc. Releasing students at this time should also allow our bus students an opportunity to meet with teachers before catching their buses. Buses

will run on their regular Monday schedule. If parents would like to meet with teachers we encourage they visit after 2:10pm, allowing students to be helped first. Teachers will be available until 2:45pm. If you have questions regarding Monday Make-up Days, please contact the school at 801-794-6740.

ACT TEST FOR JUNIOR STUDENTS

On Tuesday, March 10th the ACT will be administered to all Junior students at MMHS. Sophomore and Senior students will not need to attend on this day.

Juniors will need to bring with them a no.2 pencil and an approved calculator if they wish to use one for the math portion of the test. All of the problems on the math test can be solved without the use of a calculator. This year’s test does not include the writing section.

Most students will be using chrome books for testing. The school has a limited number of computer mice available so if you would like to have a mouse to use with the chrome book you may bring one with you.

Testing will begin promptly at 7:50 so please be on time. A list of room assignments will be posted by the Counseling Office and Library. Testing will take approximately four hours and buses will arrive to pick up students at 12:30.

For a free guide to help prepare you to take the test online visit https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/state-and-district-solutions/act-info-for-examinees.html

Cell phones, smart watches, or any other electronic device that can connect to the internet are not allowed to be used at any time during the test, including breaks. Please make arrangements to leave these items at home on test day.

ATTENDANCE INFORMATION Parents: If you leave a message to excuse your student on our attendance voicemail

system, be sure to check your student’s SIS account 24 hours after your call to ensure the absence has been excused. (It takes 24 hours for SIS to reflect absences that have been

excused.) Sometimes voicemail messages are unclear or not audible, resulting in the student’s absence not being excused. That is why it is so important for parents and students to be proactive in checking SIS to confirm absences have been taken care of.

Please contact our attendance office if you have questions or concerns regarding this process. Thank you!

We are excited to announce that we will be having our school-wide Career Day on Wednesday, April 1, 2020. We will be on assembly schedule that day and our Career Day will go from approximately 9:00-10:00 a.m. The presentations will be in the classrooms and will last 25 minutes. Students will have the opportunity to choose two speakers from the list provided to them that day. We will have a wide variety of careers and hope that your student will take advantage of this opportunity to listen to these professionals. Our presenters are volunteering their time and we appreciate their efforts. Speaking of presenters, we are in need of more speakers! If you would be willing to speak to our students about your career during our Career Day, we would love to invite parents to participate. In keeping with the Utah State Board of Education's "Step Up to Higher Education" program, we are looking for careers that require “1, 2, 4 or more” years of training, certification or formal education after high school. For more information, please contact Robyn Dunn at robyn.dunn@nebo.edu. We will also have a mini-career fair during lunch with approximately 20 vendors available for students to visit with. Vendors will include cosmetology schools, military recruiters, MATC, ALC, and local companies who will be hiring students for summer work. If your company would like to set up a booth to recruit for summer employment, please let Mrs. Dunn know. There is no booth rental fee.
