PARENTVUE AND STUDENTVUE APP CHANGE
ParentVUE and StudentVUE have transitioned to new mobile apps.
Millard will make that switch on April 1st.
Note: Either app will work until next Fall in which users will have to transition to the new app.
Please note:
Beginning April 1st, when a parent or student opens the current ParentVUE or StudentVUE app, they will receive a notification that a new app is available. Selecting the notification will direct them to the app store to download the new app. They will see "ParentVUE (New)" or "StudentVUE (New)".
After downloading the new app, users will need to log in using their existing username and password.

FAMILY FUN NIGHT RAFFLE BASKETS
We’re excited to bring back Raffle Baskets for Family Fun Night!
This year’s Family Fun Night will take place on Thursday, May 7th, and we’ll once again be raffling off themed baskets created by each grade level. These baskets are always a highlight of the evening and add so much fun and excitement for everyone!
We are asking for your support in helping us fill these baskets with donations. Please check the Sign Up Genius link for your child’s grade level and consider signing up if you’re able to contribute. Your generosity truly makes a difference and helps make this event special for our students and families.
Donations can be dropped off at the school office at any time, but please make sure all items are submitted no later than Friday, May 1st.
Thank you so much for your continued support—we can’t wait to see everyone at Family Fun Night!
