A Note From The Principal

Dear Families,

We’re Almost There—Let’s Cross the Finish Line Together!

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’re so close to reaching our $62,000 goal for the We Love Mills school fundraiser! We need $12,000 to reach last year's mark. With just 3 days left, we’re calling on our amazing Mills community to help us finish strong.

Please share your child's mybooster.com donation link with friends, family, and neighbors. Every share and every dollar makes a difference.

With significant cuts looming in district and state school funding, your support is more critical than ever to preserve the programs and experiences that make Mills so special. Let’s rally together to reach our goal and show our love for Mills! ❤️ Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of this effort!

Bundle Up—Cold Weather is on the Way!

With very cold temperatures expected soon in Austin, please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the weather. Warm coats and layers will help them stay comfortable. Our campus will continue to follow the Austin ISD weather guidelines for outside activities during the winter months.

Don’t forget to check the Lost and Found! We have many jackets, sweaters, and other items waiting to be claimed. Stop by soon to see if anything belongs to your child.

Thank you for helping us keep our students warm and cozy! ❄️
