September is Attendance Awareness Month. Plano ISD welcomes your partnership as we encourage all students to attend school every day on time. Good attendance habits have been strongly correlated with positive academic outcomes. Please utilize this resource for family attendance—promoting tips and strategies. For more information about Attendance Awareness Month, please contact Director of Family and Social Services Sharon Bradley.

Attendance in school is very important. If your student must be absent, call 469-752-8600 and press 3 to leave a message with your student's name and ID number. If a student must miss class, a parent or doctor's note must be turned in no later than 3 days after the absence. In lieu of a paper note, a note may be emailed to mcmillenattendance@pisd.edu.

Dear McMillen Student and Family,

You are receiving this message to notify you that your student arrived on campus without their school issued ID badge, as required by the Plano ISD dress code policy. Your student received a replacement ID badge; the cost for each replacement ID badge is $5.00. Students may pay for their replacement ID badges in the library on Fridays between 8:20 am and the end of the lunch period at 1:16 pm. Any fees not paid for by the end of the month will be added to the student's Rycor account. Unpaid fees on a student account will result in the inability to register for Plano ISD activities and/or view student schedules.

Please remind your student to ALWAYS wear their school issued ID badge.

Any students with unpaid fees will not be able to purchase a ticket to Homecoming this fall. In addition, they will not be able to attend the event.

Estimado estudiante y familia de McMillen,

Está recibiendo este mensaje para notificarle que su estudiante llegó al campus sin su credencial de identificación emitida por la escuela, según lo exige la política del código de vestimenta del ISD de Plano. Su estudiante recibió una credencial de identificación de reemplazo; el costo de cada gafete de identificación de reemplazo es de $5.00. Los estudiantes pueden pagar sus tarjetas de identificación de reemplazo en la biblioteca los viernes entre las 8:20 a. m. y el final del período de almuerzo a la 1:16 p. m. Cualquier tarifa no pagada al final del mes se agregará a la cuenta Rycor del estudiante. Las cuotas no pagadas en la cuenta de un estudiante resultarán en la imposibilidad de registrarse para las actividades del ISD de Plano y/o ver los horarios de los estudiantes.

Por favor, recuérdele a su estudiante que SIEMPRE use su credencial de identificación emitida por la escuela.

Cualquier estudiante con cuotas pendientes de pago no podrá comprar un boleto para Homecoming este otoño. Además, no podrán asistir al evento.

Every year in AVID one of our most impacting components of the program is having guest speakers share about their profession. McMillen AVID students are always thinking about college majors, and they love exposure to as many as possible. That's where guest speakers help the most. Whether you own a business, are in the medical profession, the world of transportation, hospitality, engineering, law, human relations, trade professions…we would love to schedule you to speak to our students. They are always interested and have an abundance of questions. If you would be willing to come share your profession with us, or if you know someone who would like to come be a guest speaker in our AVID classes, please contact Mike Abney, our AVID Coordinator, at michael.abney@pisd.edu. Please consider sharing what you do with our students! We're looking forward to hearing from you.

This year's Hispanic Heritage Month takes place from Friday September 15 to Sunday October 15, 2023. To observe this month, we will celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of some American citizens whose ancestors came from Latin America, Spain, Mexico, and the Caribbean. September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Additionally, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18 respectively. Please join us as we honor the significant contributions made by all people of Hispanic heritage to the United States as we highlight some of these contributions each day during announcements.
