Message from Admin & MCI Weekly Updates
Dear Caregivers,
As we enter the final week of school, it is hard to believe how quickly this year has gone by. Our students, staff, and families have accomplished so many goals together, and we are incredibly proud of all that has been achieved at Mill Creek this year.
As Mill Creek transitions to a K–5 school next year, there will be many changes ahead. While some things may look different, one thing that will never change is our commitment to maintaining high expectations and providing strong support for every student.
We would also like to wish all of our students returning to Valley View or Bunker Hill the very best as they complete their elementary school experiences. To our 5th grade students, congratulations on all of your hard work and accomplishments. We are proud of you and wish you continued success as you begin your middle school journey.
As we close out the school year, we are excited to share some wonderful news. Our students did an outstanding job on their GSA assessments. As a school, Mill Creek scored above both the county and state averages in every subject at every grade level. Over the year, we also reduced our chronic absent rates by 7%. Mill Creek will also be recognized as a Silver School of Distinction at the Jostens Renaissance Conference in June! These achievements reflect the dedication of our students, the support of our families, and the hard work of our staff.
Thank you for your continued partnership throughout the year. We wish all of our families a safe, relaxing, and wonderful summer!
Mrs. Beth McCoy, Principal
Mrs. Erin Butler, Assistant Principal

Where will your child attend school next year? IMPORTANT INFO!
Over the past several months, Berkeley County Schools has shared information regarding boundary changes in the South Berkeley area connected to the opening of Mountain Ridge Primary School for the 2026–27 school year. Based on Board action taken on December 15, 2025, Bunker Hill Elementary, Valley View Elementary, and Mill Creek will serve grades K-5 beginning in the 2026-27 school year.
Each Mill Creek family should have received a message on Feb. 6, stating where your student is slated to attend school next year. Some families will remain at Mill Creek while others will be transferred to the Bunker Hill and Valley View district. We recognize that school transitions and boundary changes can bring uncertainty, and we appreciate your patience and partnership as we work through these changes together.
If you are uncertain as to where you are scheduled to be, the new address locator is located here:
(Disclaimer: You must clear out addresses before entering a new address in.)
Enrollments at the new schools will happen automatically. Other than updating your annual emergency information like you always do in the fall, families will not need to do anything for the enrollment to occur.
Families wishing to request an in-county transfer should visit the Berkeley County School's website for information and procedures, or contact the Office of Attendance, Enrollment, and School Choice at 304.263.0166. Please note that transfer requests are approved based on staffing and space availability, families are responsible for providing transportation, and requests are reviewed in the order they are received. Students who are granted a transfer must remain in good academic standing, have good attendance, and demonstrate good behavior. Mill Creek will begin receiving transfer forms now but, final decisions will not be made until after August 10, 2026. Your requests can be emailed to our enrollment secretary, Brandy Duvall at brandy.duvall@k12.wv.us. All requests must have the homeschool district approval signature and have all necessary paperwork attached before it will be accepted. It is the responsibility of the parent to obtain all of that information. If your family chooses to request a transfer, please note that transfers are not guaranteed.
