Extreme Weather Reminders Students are welcome to wait indoors when arriving to school. At the Jr/Sr High, students are welcome in the building by 7:20 AM to warm up in the Junior High Gym with supervision or join in the cafeteria for a free breakfast. At GES, students not taking breakfast, can wait in the warm foyer for classes to start. And at MJT, PreK students can wait in the vestibule with their guardian, or in family car if they prefer, and all other bus and vehicle drop-offs go right into the building. Walkers should be encouraged to wear warm winter gear to school. If your student needs a coat or other winter gear, please contact your school nurse or Principal and we'll be glad to assist. At the Jr/Sr High, students are able to "shop for free" for warm clothing, winter jackets, socks, hats, personal care items and more in the Care Closet, located in the Junior High Guidance Office.
