Dear Falcons,

Welcome back to a new school year! I hope you had a wonderful summer filled with time to relax, and recharge. We are excited to welcome 85 students to Millennium High School and look forward to another year of learning, growth, and connection. As we begin this new chapter together, we are also proud to celebrate the accomplishments of last year's graduating class, who achieved a 100% graduation rate, with nearly 90% meeting UC/CSU A-G eligibility requirements. Our graduates have successfully transitioned to community colleges, four-year universities, gap year experiences, and the workforce, demonstrating that there are many pathways to success after high school. We look forward to partnering with our students and families to build on this momentum and make this school year one of opportunity, achievement, and belonging for every Falcon.

Sincerely,

Irma

Annual online registration must be completed prior to Walkthrough Registration on Friday, August 7 to receive students’ class schedules.

ALL students (new and returning) can drop-in anytime between 12:00 – 5:00 PM to take their school photo and ID card in the lobby of Alan Harvey Theater.

We ask returning students and their parents/guardians to attend Walkthrough Registration in-person. Students will receive their class schedule and other materials. There is no need to sign-up for a time slot. Please drop-in anytime between 3:00 – 5:00 PM in the MHS Main Office.

During Walk Through Registration, students will receive their class schedule, a Chromebook, the 26-27 Calendar of Events and other important documents. Please be sure to attend!

At the Orientation, students will receive their class schedule, a Chromebook, the 26-27 Calendar of Events and other important documents. Please be sure to attend!

We are excited to kick off the new school year together! All students are required to attend our first Falcon Meeting of the year. Please come directly to Room 47A at the start of the day. You will be excused from your first period class so everyone can join us as we reconnect, welcome new and returning students, and start the year strong as a Falcon community.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We will be restricting all cell phone usage, bell-to-bell, this school year. This applies to all personal connected devices while on campus. The current Board Policy limits cell phone use during the school day to only a talk-and-text phone–a phone with only text and call features. A comprehensive list can be found in the student handbook on page 17.

We will be collecting smart phones, watches, earpods, personal laptops, glasses, etc. from students who have these devices out during the school day. From 8:30 AM to the end of the school day, these devices should be put away and out-of-sight. They should not be in your hand or visible at any time.

Violations of this policy will result in the following progressive level of consequences:

• 1st offense - Student may pick up their device at the end of the day from the principal
• 2nd offense and beyond - Student’s parent/guardian must pick up the device

Students with a pattern of cell phone abuse may be assigned to detention and/or may lose the privilege to have personal electronic devices at school.

Our objectives are to limit classroom disruptions and distractions. Our goal is to support students in maximizing their ability to learn and remain focused while at school.

Please visit the MHS School Store online via Infinite Campus (IC). You can purchase the MHS yearbook, make donations to the Piedmont Athletics Fund and/or the Associated Student Body (ASB), and much more!
