Millennium Families,
Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you well and that you had a restful and joyful winter break. As we return to school, we are excited to welcome back our students, staff, and families for a fresh start to the new year. I hope the winter break was enjoyable for all our Tiger families. My husband and I stayed local and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We can get much better than 60's and 70's during this time of year. I sure do love our Arizona winters.
The second half of the school year brings new opportunities for learning, growth, and connection. Whether it's tackling challenging subjects, participating in extracurricular activities, or preparing for upcoming milestones, we are committed to supporting every student in achieving their goals.
Students return on Tuesday, January 7th - I want to remind you that students will return on Tuesday, January 7th. I hope they enjoy one more day of the break. Our staff will return on Monday, January 6th and have a day to prepare for students returning. We are refreshed and ready to start second semester.
As we return to school, please be reminded of our morning drop off procecures. It is still awfully dark in the morning. Please use caution when dropping off your student.
Student Morning Drop off - Two important items:
1. Please refrain from dropping off your student in the middle of the street along Wigwam Blvd. This is a huge safety concern for our students. Please utilize the drop off loops either in the west student parking lot, the front loop along Wigwam Blvd or down Park Avenue to the baseball parking lot.
2. Westbound traffic on Wigwam Blvd - Please refrain from turning right into the front drop of loop from the outside lane. It is not a turning lane. This is preventing the east bound traffic from turning left into the drop off area. I believe this is what is leading to students being dropped off in the middle of Wigwam Blvd.
These are all safe places and ways to drop off your student. Goodyear PD has been out monitoring and writing citations. We want to ensure all our students arrive safely to school. We appreciate your partnership.

Civics Test - did your child take this test in 8th grade?
Both our feeder districts, Avondale (AESD) and Litchfield (LESD) Elementary School Districts, have administered the state required Civics test to students in 8th grade. AESD gave the test to our current 9th grade students (Class of 2028) and current 10th grade students (Class of 2027). LESD gave the test only to our current 9th grade students (Class of 2028).
We have records from both the Avondale and Litchfield Districts of which students received a passing score. We are working to make sure the right individuals at each high school receive this information. Please do not contact the feeder districts to request scores. In addition to the opportunities for our students to meet the Civics test graduation requirement while they were either in AESD or LESD, we also offer students the opportunity to pass the Civics test during high school.
Open Enrollment applications for the 2025-2026 school year are open!
This is your opportunity for students to apply to a school outside of their zoned boundaries or for students outside of the district. If you are unsure of the school you are zoned for, please visit the "District Boundaries" tab using the registration link below.
