Mills Elementary Weekly

Principal Update April 17, 2023- April 21, 2023

It is Earth Week in Austin ISD

Austin ISD and Mills Elementary celebrated Earth Week (4/17- 4/22)! Please take time this week as a family and discuss things you're currently doing and new actions you can take to make the earth and our community a better place!

This week in all classrooms, we will discuss ways we can take care of our campus, city and planet.

Parent Input Forms for SY 23-24

Dear Mills Families,

We have included the Class Placement Considerations form for the upcoming 23-24 school year. Before you complete it, please take a moment to read about the class placement process. Thank you for your support and partnership. The form will close April 28.

If you have questions, please reach out to the Mills Administrative Team.

A note about the class placement process:

Completion of the form is optional- it is NOT required.
Parent requests for specific teachers are not accepted. Please DO NOT indicate the name of a specific teacher on your input form. Information should focus on your child and not on a specific teacher.
While parent input is a valued piece of the puzzle, creating balanced classes is an intricate process that requires input from teachers, administrators, and counselors.
Final placement will be shared a few days prior to the start of school due to students enrolling and withdrawing throughout the summer.
This input form closes Friday, April 28th.

Your child's teacher shared the (attached) letter with you. Please reach out to the Mills Administrative team if you have questions. We are here to support!
