Mustang Minute

Welcome to the Mustang Minute!

As fellow parents of Mill Street Students, Home & School encourages and facilitates a cooperative partnership among our students, parents/guardians, and school staff and administration. H&S is our school’s version of a PTO or PTA, and our goal is to support and enhance the school experience of each student. There are no dues--just an open invitation to stay informed and get involved at whatever level you can. We look forward to and appreciate your involvement!

Please email us at millstreeths@gmail.com with any questions, ideas or concerns!

At our upcoming Service Club meeting on December 5th, students will be spreading holiday cheer by crafting heartfelt holiday cards and creating reindeer candy dishes which will be filled with yummy treats. These thoughtful creations will bring joy and happiness to the residents of Harbor Chase assisted living facility and Everleigh, located at the corner of Mill and Commons Road. Join us in making the holiday season brighter for others!

This will be the final Service Club meeting for 2023. Stay tuned for our 2024 dates, which will be announced after Winter break.

Hello Mill Street Families! We are again including a link and QR Code for the Social Work Community Resources to share student, family, and community resources with you! Please check the link regularly for updates.

Are you new to Mill Street? Did you know that our school has an online family directory where you can look up the contact information of other Mill Street families? At registration time, families were given a choice to either "opt in" or "opt out" of our school directory. If you opted in, then you have access to DirectorySpot, which is an online platform for our directory. If you would like to get set up as a DirectorySpot user or have any other questions, please contact Jenny Haak, DirectorySpot Chair, at millstreetdirectory@gmail.com.

Don't see your student's size? There are a variety of made-to-order items (adult & youth sizes) in our spirit wear store front. Visit the store today!

If you have any questions regarding your order, please email Meghan Mederich (meghan.mederich@gmail.com).

• Late students in the morning: Parents, please walk your student into the building and sign them in. A parent is required to sign their student in at the main office with a time and signature. Do not drop your student off and have them walk in alone without a parent. Students are expected to be in their classroom at 8:10 am, with instructional learning beginning promptly at 8:15 am. Thank you.

• If your student is being picked up for an appointment or leaving school early for the day, please email their teacher and notify them of the pick-up time and whether your student will or will not be returning to school that day. It is important that the teacher knows the student's schedule so they can plan accordingly. Please bring an ID with you if you're signing a student out early or leaving for an appointment. Thank you.
  

• If your student is sick or will be absent, please report the absence via Infinite Campus or call the health office at (630) 420-6355 and speak to Mrs. Robinson. You may leave a voicemail if calling outside of school hours.
