Hello Coyotes! A video was posted on mojavehigh.org showing you how to read your schedule. Please check your Google Classroom and your email often. Teachers will be inviting you to your classes. Remember Digital Learning starts on Thursday.

Hello Mojave families this is your principal Mr. Polmounter reminding you that the school year starts Thursday, August 6th. During this time of Distance Learning we are going to be doing things a bit different to start the year. Each Mojave student will only be working on 2 classes at a time. On Tuesday you can check Infinite Campus for your schedule and mojavehigh.org for a video explaining how this process will work. You will be assigned 5 classes but instead of working on all 5 classes at the same time you will only start with Periods 1 and 2 and will only work on these classes until August 28th. You will still complete all 5 of your classes throughout the quarter. You will have daily live interaction with your teachers. Period 1 will begin at 8:00 am and Period 2 will begin at 10:00 am. If you have any questions or don’t have access to a working chromebook please contact the school as soon as possible @ (760) 948-3999. Thank you very much!
