We all know the phenomenon of “summer slide” when, unfortunately, students tend to lose academic ground. With many states canceling in-school instruction for the rest of the academic year, how do we combat a “COVID-19 learning slide” while keeping the social and emotional health of our youth front and center? Parents! Learn how to empower your students’ parents to slow a learning dip during this unprecedented time.

Learn proven, evidence-based SEL strategies that have had profound effects on millions of students. Mawi Asgedom will explain how parents can help students expand their Can Do Circle in both academic and personal areas and adopt a growth mindset for future success.

Join us Thursday, May 7th, for a free webinar and discover how to help your students and their parents through COVID-19 learning.

Power to Power SAT

Family Game Night

Join us for a FREE fun, interactive, and educational webinar focusing on keeping students ready for school and SAT, engaged, and parents along with students can continue to build the path to college preparedness. REGISTER HERE

The competition begins:

During this fun family educational game night - parents will rely on their child to set them free from an activity room, but never fear as students will need their family to set them free from another activity room - all while reviewing the SAT categories which are: math, reading, and language/writing.

Are you ready for the challenge?

The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, April 30th from 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. CST through Skype (a free teleconference application). This is a FREE event, but we do require a registration so that we can effectively structure the activity rooms. A Skype link will be emailed after you have processed your registration. Limited spaces available. REGISTER NOW

As your students prepare for the AP Computer Science Principles final submission, we wanted to touch base with you about some unique characteristics.

There is no exam in this course, but there are 2 performance tasks. The students are hard at work on the last task called “Create.” This task is due to their teachers on May 18 so that the teachers have an opportunity to ensure that a readable file is submitted to the College Board.

Please note that this deadline is different than the one published by College Board due to our earlier end date of the semester.

The College Board has updated their website to include a page with updates for students and educators. They are as follows:

• https://apcoronavirusupdates.collegeboard.org/students
• https://apcoronavirusupdates.collegeboard.org/educators
  

This will help everyone keep abreast of any changes that might arise due to the global pandemic

Until further notice, we are unable to process a Verification of Enrollment (VOE) form for students seeking to obtain their driver's license. If you would like to obtain a VOE once we are able to gain access to McMillen High School, please click on the link and complete the request form.

These scholarships are developed and funded by private organizations and available to the general public. Eligibility depends on individual scholarship requirements.
