First Day of School

School for the freshman starts at 7:40am on Tuesday, September 2nd.
Only the freshman attend a full day of school on the first day. In the morning, they will be meeting with older students in "The Link Crew" for orientation  and participating in "getting acquainted" activities. All students including the upper class men then report to school for a lunch cookout, before attending shortened classes for the rest of the day.
The students can eat at the cookout by getting a ticket with their lunch pin number ( this number is on their schedule) which will be charged to their account. Please note that all students were issued new lunch pins this year. They also have the option of bringing in a bagged lunch from home. The PTA will be providing a dessert.

Welcome, school supplies

Introduction/School Supplies

Welcome to Mayo High School- Class of 2018
My name is Carolyn Sedlack, I have three children one just graduated Mayo this past Spring, one will be a senior this year and an incoming freshman. I am one of the parents that will be contributing to this blog. This blog is being created to ease the transition from middle school to high school for the parents and students. Please be sure to let us know if there are topics that you would like us to address, by simply using the comments section.

Here are today's pearls of wisdom:

There is no school supply list at the high school level.
The students usually only need pens, pencils, and a notebook and folder for each class.
The teachers will notify them on the first day of school of any other items that they may need.

Calculators??
From the newsletter...It is suggested that students in Geometry have a scientific calculator.
Students in Intermediate Algebra, Algebra 2, Math Analysis, Statistics, Math 4 College and Calculus will need a graphing calculator, a TI-84 or TI-84 Plus is suggested. Please refer to newsletter for further details, p. 11. (you can access the current newsletter on the Mayo website under the parent tab at the bottom of the home page)

Make a copy of your students schedule for future reference (it will be helpful at open houses and conferences) or you can always access it on Skyward.

Don't forget to read through the first 50 pages of the planner your student received at schedule pick up. It contains the contact numbers for Mayo High School,daily schedule times, school calendar with events marked and a lot of other useful information.

Welcome!

Welcome to this new adventure!  Whether this is your first child or you have lots of experience with students in high school, we hope that this online newsletter will help you.  A shout-out to MHS parent Dotti Loutfi, who did a tremendous amount of work a few years ago to pull together an Unofficial Guide to MHS.  We will use this guide as a resource to determine what information to share on this page.
