Don't forget the Freshman Icebreaker will be held this Thursday, August 10th from 10:30 AM to 1 PM at MHS. Students can participate in a practice schedule, find their lockers, and learn about Wavetime. This event is a great way for 9th graders to get to know their teachers and student mentors. There will also be a scavenger hunt, team-building activities, and pizza!
The Mattoon High School schedules for the new year are now available in Skyward for registered students. We encourage you and your student to review their first semester schedule. If a change needs to be requested, your student needs to complete the google form below using their school email account. At this time we are taking first semester changes only. We will be sending out a request for 2nd semester in November. 📋
The deadline to request a schedule change for the first semester is Friday, August 18th by 3:30pm. Students must fill out the Schedule Change Request form. 📝
Be mindful that we will try to accommodate the requests, but some changes are not possible because classes are balanced and some classes are full.
Also remember, there are NO lunch hour changes.
