We had a great first week of the school year welcoming back all of our students on campus. Thank you for your patience as everyone gets adjusted back into a routine. Students are getting adjusted and finding the best route to each of their classes. Lunch time seems to be flowing smoothly and everyone is getting fed in a timely manner. I know there are a lot of cars arriving and departing campus at the same time. Thank you for taking extra precaution during these times.

I am excited about our transition to digital IDs this year. This adds another layer of protection for our community. They will be able to access them with any electronic device - cell phone, Chromebook, etc. The digital IDs will take the place of the printed IDs we have used in the past. Students will use them for getting on the bus, entering campus, bookstore purchases, lunch purchases, etc. This week during advisory students will learn how to access their digital IDs. No more sending students to the bookstore for replacement IDs because they forget them at home. 😄 You will find more information below about the digital ID platform, Minga.

This week several of our fall sports will begin tryouts. The schedule for tryouts is listed below. Reminder all our students must be clear in Final Forms prior to tryouts.

Good luck to all our student athletes!

Millennium HS is a member of the Agua Fria High School District family of schools

We're excited to introduce Minga, a new platform designed to make your child’s school experience easier and safer. At Millennium, we’re committed to providing a safe and supportive environment, and Minga helps us achieve that goal.

What this means for your child:

• Access digital IDs and school updates from any school-issued or personal device at app.minga.io using their school email credentials. The app can be accessed through a 1-1 device (a school laptop, notebook, tablet, or other mobile computing device).

• Stay informed with important school announcements and events, fostering school community and spirit.

• Automates tasks like attendance and event check-in making it easier to focus on learning.

We take safety and security seriously and so does Minga. Learn more about Minga and its security features in the Welcome to Minga Family Guide.

If you have any questions or need further help please refer to the Minga Help Center or contact us directly.

Courses that are eligible for dual enrollment with either EMCC or Rio Salado will be able to sign up and enroll this week. Please see the counseling section below for more information. Teachers have been making this announcement with their classes about this opportunity.

This coverage does need to be renewed each school year. DPP must be purchased by Monday, September 9th.
