Essential Self-Care Strategies Essential Self-Care Strategies

With the holidays upon us and folks gathering indoors, we’d like to remind you of some of the important ways we can all work together to keep our community healthy this winter. Not only have we entered cold and flu season, but RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), pertussis (whooping cough), walking pneumonia (Mycoplasma pneumoniae), and of course, COVID-19, have all been circulating in the community as well. It is therefore important to be mindful when gathering with friends and family this season to prevent the spread of illness.

Thank you.

Attendance Policy Review Attendance Policy Review

zoom_out_map

Regular attendance and classroom participation are essential to the educational process at MHS. Missing class presentations, discussions, lectures, demonstrations and laboratories can be detrimental to student achievement, grades, credit accumulation and the progress of the class itself.


Reporting and Excusing an Absence

When a student is absent, it is required that the parent/guardian either phone the Attendance Office recorder (510-594-2889) or send a note explaining the reason for the absence. If an absence is cleared by phone, it is not necessary to follow up with a note. Only the signatures of the parent(s)/guardian(s) on the student emergency card are permitted on notes. Please provide the following information: first and last name of the student, name of parent, date of absence, the specific classes missed, and the reason for the absence. Parents/Guardians must excuse their student’s absence within three days of the time they return. If an absence is not cleared within that time, the absence will be marked as unexcused. Students are not permitted to excuse themselves on the recorder or by note. Students who miss three or more days of school in succession must present a doctor’s note, if the absences are due to illness.

What’s at Stake for Piedmont Schools? Bridging the Budget Gap What’s at Stake for Piedmont Schools? Bridging the Budget Gap

zoom_out_map

Despite the passage of Measure P, rising costs have left the Piedmont Unified School District facing difficult financial decisions. Last year’s budget reductions—resulting in larger class sizes and reduced library hours—are already being felt. Without community support through the Giving Campaign, further cuts may jeopardize vital programs and the quality of education. To date, 50% of PUSD parents have contributed to the Giving Campaign, and these donations, added to those of the broader community, total $3 million for our schools.


The need for immediate community action is urgent. The Giving Campaign is working toward a goal of $4 million to continue to help PUSD meet its obligations. Every contribution helps bridge the gap and preserve PUSD’s excellence. Together, we can ensure Piedmont schools thrive for future generations.


For more information or to donate, please visit www.piedmontedfoundation.org/donate.


Millennium High School is receiving more than $78,000 to support instruction, counseling, and community building.
