Hello MHS Students/Families:
We did it, we survived record setting temperatures and it finally feels like fall!!! This is my favorite season. I love seeing all the red, orange, and yellow leaves falling to the ground, hearing the crunch beneath my feet, and the cool air begging me to wear a sweater. So happy! Have a great long weekend! Ms M-L
ALL: Please read the College and Career Center newsletter weekly. I write that newsletter and put information that is helpful to you as you are planning for graduation and what comes next. The college visits are starting to wrap up in the next 6 weeks and if there’s a college that interests you and you have the opportunity to visit, then I don’t want you to miss the chance to ask questions that are important to you.
Seniors: on October 23rd, I will walk through the California State University application. This will take place during Academy in room 47 B (ASB). We will be in that room through the 4th period in the hopes that we can get you through the entire application. Please fill out this form so I know who to expect. I will follow up with a list of things you should bring to be prepared.
Missing credits? The next step would be to look at Schoology and see if you are missing an assignment, need to retake a test, turn in an assignment you have redone. And, of course, ask your teachers how to work towards earning the missing credits.
Don’t forget- Falcon Hour, Academy time, Peer tutoring, counselors and teachers- All great resources to use!
If you are planning to take the PreACT on Saturday, October 19 or the PSAT on Saturday, October 26, please click the link below for important information.
We have added the following exams:
- AP English Language & Composition (M3Y2A3)

If your student is planning to take an AP exam this spring, please follow the two step ordering process below. The deadline for ordering exams is Friday, November 8th. Exams cost $130 which covers instructional materials, testing materials, proctors, and other costs. Orders placed after November 8th will incur a CollegeBoard imposed $40 late fee.
- Step 1 - Log-in to the Infinite Campus School Store and place an order for all exams your student plans to take.
- Step 2 - Your student should log-in to their College Board account and indicate which exams should be ordered. Instructions on how to do this can be found here. If you do not complete this step for each exam, an exam will not be ordered! All students should have access to their teacher's AP course page. If students have questions about this, they should contact their teacher.
If you have questions on payment or ordering, please contact our registrar Darlene Low (dlow@piedmont.k12.ca.us) or PHS assistant principal Joe Marik at jmarik@piedmont.k12.ca.us.
We are planning to offer a school-based SAT testing date on Monday, March 17th 2025. If your student is interested in taking the SAT at PHS, please complete the form here. This information will help us with planning purposes. If you have more than one student who hopes to take the test, please complete the form one time for each student.
Please note, this is not an official order form and is meant solely for collecting an estimate of the number of interested students. More information to come on ordering in January. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Marik.

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.
Please be aware of many important dates are coming for seniors. Bookmark the Road to Graduation document as it will be updated throughout the year.
Please be aware there are TWO yearbooks...one for Millennium High School and another for Piedmont High School. Both yearbooks are available for purchase to Millennium families.

At the school board meeting on September 25, 2024, the Piedmont Education Foundation (PEF) proudly presented a giant check for $4,039,957 to the Piedmont Unified School District (PUSD). This record-breaking grant represents a year of dedicated fundraising and highlights the incredible support from our community.
Funds were raised through the Giving Campaign, Spring Fling, Harvest Festival, Dress Best for Less, business sponsorships, and a bequest from former teacher Pamela Wells Rafanelli. The grant will fund classroom technology, phonics curriculum books, and playground initiatives.
94% of the funds will support the salaries of essential educators, while 6% is designated for curriculum development, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives, professional development, and classroom supplies.
PEF thanks all donors, volunteers, and supporters and encourages everyone to participate in this year’s Giving Campaign at PiedmontEdFoundation.org/donate.
