MHS Picture Day is Thursday, September 9!
We are excited to announce we are using a new photography company, Solis Images. All students will have their pictures taken for school records. Students will bring home a QR code/order number so families can preview the pictures online* prior to ordering. See the attached flyer for more information. Portraits will be shipped directly to home, not to the school.
*If you need to order with cash or check, please contact the HS Office for an order form.
You may contact Solis Images with specific picture ordering questions at 425.737.3395.

Here we go, Bulldogs!
The first day of school is Wednesday, September 1. School starts at 8:20AM. We’ve adjusted our arrival times so that all students are welcome to arrive anytime between 8:10-8:20AM. Students will enter through the front doors of the school (we won’t have separate entrances like last year).
We will be offering FREE breakfast & school lunches to ALL students. (A la carte lunch items must be purchased separately.) When students arrive at school, they will either go to the Commons for breakfast or straight to their 1st period class. Again, class begins at 8:20AM. Dismissal times are 1:45PM for high school students and 1:50PM for junior high students.
We are looking forward to a great year! Go Dogs!

Seniors and Senior Families,
The forecast has been moving in the wrong direction and looking at tomorrow’s anticipated rainfall, we have made the decision to move the ceremony inside the Bo Griffith Memorial Gymnasium.
Seniors: you will check in at the back side of the gym (the exterior entrance closest to the weight room) at 1:30PM. Reminder: we’d like to leave the student parking lot open to your guests, so please park in the lots by the tennis courts and also use the staff parking if necessary. Also, remember which side of the gym you were sitting on during practice yesterday. That is the same side you’ll be sitting on tomorrow, so you can tell your guests which bleachers to be in.
The HS gym foyer doors will open at 1:15PM. Guests will check in through the front doors, where they will give their name to the greeter. Please remember that masks are required at this school event.

We are excited for tomorrow! Congratulations, Bulldogs!

For those unable to attend, the event will be live-streamed. Click here to view the live-steam link.

CLASS OF 2021!

Seniors and Senior Families:
Here we are in what could easily be classified as crunch time for graduation. We are very concerned that if a senior was exposed to COVID after Sunday and had to quarantine from a close contact at school, that senior would be excluded from graduation on the 13th. We would like to give you, as senior parents and students, the option over the next seven school days to keep your student at home for online classes to prevent the potential exposure and quarantine. We still plan on having all the in-person events for seniors and no student who chooses not to come to school in the next few days would be excluded from those events.

A COVID-19 student survey was created by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), Health Care Authority (HCA), and the Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences in the University of Washington School of Medicine (UW) to help capture the thoughts, feelings and behaviors of students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This survey asks questions about mental and physical health, hope, social support from peers and adults, thoughts and feelings pertaining to school during the COVID-19 pandemic, attitudes towards and use of alcohol, marijuana and other drugs, and COVID-19 precautions.
This 25 minute survey is anonymous, voluntary and administered to students in grades 6-12. It will be given to students at Montesano Jr/Sr High School on March 24th during 1st period. Students have the ability to skip individual questions or the survey altogether. Please contact the HS Office at 360.249.4041 if you have any questions or concerns.
