Millennium Families,
APRIL BREAK - FRIDAY, APRIL 19TH - NO SCHOOL
Our juniors showed up on Wednesday for the ACT. They came prepared and focused for the day. This week is our final testing day for our sophomores. They will take the ACT Secure on Wednesday, April 17th. *sophomores only attend school on Wednesday 4/17.
We had a great turnout for prom this weekend. The venue looked great. It's always fun to see our students dressed up looking nice.
Millennium High School Full Campus Master Plan - We know there are buildings on campus in dire need of updating. Our campus needs some attention throughout. With our district leaders, I am very excited to share we are in the initial phases of developing a full campus master plan. We know all improvements will not be able to be done at once. It will most likely take several years. This will be an awesome opportunity to put our heads together and put together a master plan. We need community input. If you are interested in being a part of this process, please email me at nbundy@aguafria.org. Our first meeting will be this month.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dress Code - As we move into warmer weather, I want to remind our parents and students about our dress code. Students out of dress code will be required to change and be in dress code prior to attending class. The dress code can be found in the Student handbook on page 27. The biggest violation we see is strapless, backless, and excessive torso exposed.
Arriving to campus - This is just a reminder school begins at 7:15am. Please be sure students arrive with plenty of time to enter campus and get to class on time. There seems to be a little lull at 7am, which is a great time to arrive.
Reminder - all students are required to show their ID upon entering campus every morning. If students do not have their ID they will be escorted to the bookstore to get a replacement ID. Replacement IDs are $2.00.
