10/30 Panther Preview at Plano East

ATTENTION : Current 10th grade Panthers

Calling Plano East Panthers, We hope everyone will plan on attending the Panther Preview on October 30, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This is an opportunity for parents and students to learn about academic course offerings at Plano East Senior High School. This event will be held in building B1 on the Plano East Campus. While on campus, you will be able to explore numerous course offerings and visit with our excellent teachers. You will be able to purchase spirit wear as you visit the different booster clubs and PTSA.

In addition to learning about the academic course offerings at Plano East, you will have the opportunity to attend the Collin College dual credit meeting. This will take place in the auditorium from 6:30-7:15 and will provide you with all the necessary information needed to consider registering for dual credit classes for the 2023-24 school year.

A course selection meeting will begin at 7:30 immediately following the dual credit meeting. It will touch on the graduation requirements needed in PISD, information about advanced-level courses, and the procedure for selecting courses.

During the week of the Panther preview, we will send a special message from Mr. Jones in the form of a video for you to watch. We hope you will be able to join us for this informative event.

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.

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.

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.

The PSAT make-up day will be Tuesday, October 24th. More information to follow.

WHAT IS REFLECTIONS ARTS PROGRAM?

https://youtu.be/r1BkCQkRwNs

• There is no limit on the number of entries per student.
• Questions: email Reflections@mcmillenptsa.org

"What do we win? Is this a contest?"

• This is not technically a contest. It is truly a program created to give students a forum to explore the arts and expand their interests and talents.

Students are individually judged on their project and not judged against the other students.

• They are judged on how well they explain their art fits the theme, the mastery of the medium used, and their creativity.
• Ribbons will be awarded to all entrants, with recognition categories of:
• Award of Excellence (blue ribbon)
• Award of Merit (red ribbon)
• Honorable Mention (white ribbon)
• Top entries will advance to Plano ISD Council of PTAs at the beginning of December for the next level judging with the potential to advance to the Texas PTA and National PTA levels.

McMillen HS PTSA benefits as a result of the placement of a shoes and clothing donation bin at our school in the parking lot. We are paid by the pound for each pound of shoes, clothing, belts, purses, wallets, hats, caps, backpacks, hard toys and stuffed animals placed in our bin. Please help our PTSA raise funds for school projects, teacher training, new technology and to generally support the children who attend our school.
