Dear Parents / Guardians, We are excited to offer online registration again (July 1 - August 1, 2025). Hopefully you will find it easy to navigate and a convenient use of your valuable time. If you have any questions, please call one of the school offices during the month of June or the last week of July. A few tips to help you get started: We have tried to make sure we collect everything we need virtually. However, we know it may not be perfect. If you have suggestions for improvement, please reach out to one of the school offices. Please use a computer, laptop, tablet, or Chromebook to register. The app on your phone is difficult to use for registration. If you have more than one student returning to the district, you will need to scroll down through the shelf of tasks on the left to register each one. Residency documentation will need to be uploaded for every student you register, but please use the same documents for all your children. Payment for Registration fees will be accepted through the Online Registration portal. You may pay with either a Debit card or Credit card. We will also have in person registration that will be determined at a later date. In person registration will be for ALL New students to the district and for those who do not have a device capable of completing online registration at home.

We are excited to share with you that on Friday, May 2 all MMJH students will be attending a field trip to the UIUC-Prairie Research Center. The students will leave at 8:05am and return at 12:30pm. All students should dress for the weather (currently there is no rain and temps look moderate) and wear appropriate shoes for walking around the exhibits for the day. Students will be assigned small groups with staff chaperones for supervision and logistical purposes. Water stations will be available, but students must have their own water bottles to refill as cups will not be available. Please leave expensive Stanley's, Yetis, and the like at home. Snacks will be provided, and lunch will be served when we return. Any student that is late and misses the bus will have supervision at school to work on assigned tasks from their teachers.
We are excited to share this opportunity with our students! Follow the link for information about the exhibits available. https://expo.prairie.illinois.edu/
Please reach out to Mrs. Miller (mmiller@gobuffaloes.org) with any questions or concerns.
Congratulations to our MMJH Track and Field athletes on their performance this weekend at the County Meet! A number of students placed well and/or had personal bests or season bests. Way to go everyone!
Mary Miller Junior High would like to recognize Mrs Carolyn Surowka for her exceptional contributions as our 7th-grade math teacher at MMJH. Her dedication goes beyond the classroom, as she also coaches the Scholastic Bowl & sponsors the yearbook, demonstrating her commitment to our students’ growth & creativity. Her passion for teaching not only fosters a love for math but also encourages teamwork & collaboration among students in all activities. We want to congratulate her as our Golden Ruler award recipient! This honor reflects the impact she has made in our school community. Please join us in recognizing her tireless efforts & inspiring both students & staff alike. Her influence truly makes a difference in the lives of many here at GRF.
The last few weeks have been crazy busy — but absolutely worth it!
These amazing kids have put in so much hard work, and it truly shows!
Our Junior High team placed 1st in the Section 18 Livestock Judging Contest! Huge congratulations to our top three: Eli Meeker, Mallory Rollins, and Cadence Brewer!
Even more exciting — our top two qualified to compete at the State Livestock Judging Contest at the University of Illinois, where they ranked in the White category!
I am beyond proud of everything they’ve accomplished in just their first year of livestock judging.
This is only the beginning, and I can't wait to see where their talent and dedication takes them in their FFA journey!
