Millennium Families,

This past week was our first spirit week and all school assembly of the school year. It was fun seeing students dressed in their jerseys for media day. My favorite day day was Throwback Tuesday where students dressed like their first day of kindergarten. The amount of Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake I saw on campus brought back a lot of memories. 😄

This week progress reports come out on Friday, September 6th. Please note, progress reports are NOT mailed home. They will be available through ParentVue and StudentVue.

On Friday, September 6th we are expecting our first home football game against Campo Verde. If you have been on our campus the last few months, you've probably noticed all the construction going on around the field. While it still looks like there's a lot to be done before the game, we are hopeful we'll be in a good spot to host both our Freshman football game on Wednesday, September 4th and varsity on Friday. We won't be operating at full capacity with all the safety improvements being made on the concourse, and we appreciate your flexibility and understanding as those projects are completed in the coming weeks. It's going to be amazing when it's all finished.

Reminder No School

Friday, August 30th - Monday, September 2nd.

School resumes on Tuesday, September 3rd.

Coming Up: No School on Wednesday, September 11th for Teacher Inservice Day!

Have a great week Tigers!

Chromebook Device Protection Plan (DPP)

*This is the last week to purchase the Chromebook Device Protection Plan (DPP) for this school year.

Students having issues with their Chromebook need to contact the library. Many issues can be solved through tips and tricks on the Library website. Students are required to have our campus technicians do any and all repairs to their device. The Chromebook Device Protection Plan DPP is a great way to ensure these repairs are covered. This coverage does need to be renewed each school year. DPP must be purchased by Monday, September 9th.

Varsity Football - Weapons Detectors

In an effort to provide a safe environment for our student athletes, students, families and fans, the AFUHSD has implemented the use of weapon detectors at our football ticket gates. All spectators will be required to pass through the weapon detectors before entering the stadium. Small bags/purses will be permitted and may be subject to a search upon entry (no backpacks or large totes). Clear bags are acceptable. In addition, fans who activate the weapon detector will be subject to a search and may be refused entry to the event. Please plan accordingly and arrive early to the event. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. **THERE WILL BE NO ENTRY AFTER HALFTIME**

We encourage you to arrive early. Gates open at 6 PM. Tickets can be purchased online through GoFan.Co.

Purchase Tickets Ahead of Time on GoFan

Purchase Athletic tickets ahead of time on GoFan.co. We also offer student and family passes in our bookstore. Save time at the gate and purchase one today and enter through our pass gate.

The Self Management group is a Tier 2 intervention and 10 week course. We will be focusing on teaching students knowledge and tools to support executive functioning to stay focused, delay gratification, follow and remember tasks, exercise impulse control, and organize tasks, things, and time.

If you think any of your students could benefit from being a part of this group, please submit this google form and we will meet with the student to see if it is a good fit for them: https://forms.gle/dzJyn4ew1gMbMkSN6

Group will start the first week of September and be every week on Thursday during RTI. Thanks so much for your support in helping us support our students at MHS!
