A Message from our CEO, Carolyn Woods

Parents, students, family, and staff,

I, along with all of you, was so disheartened to hear about the tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas this week. To see the faces of those innocent children whose lives were taken in such a horrific way breaks my heart. I grieve for the families of those precious children, for the families of the teachers who were lost, and for the entire community who I know is in deep mourning. It was an unspeakable act of violence.

At times like these, it gives us cause to come together as a school and reexamine our own safety protocols. We have a safety committee that meets regularly and who have already planned to implement new safety procedures on campus, such as requiring all students and staff to wear their ID badge at all times, requiring visitors to wear a clearly visible, unique badge, and to have all volunteers go through a more detailed application process, but even with all of the measures we have in place, we can do more.

Although we have a closed campus, meaning all gates remain closed at all times during school hours, the doors to the front office are unlocked and open- we can and will make them more secure. We are going to install a system that will allow the front office to buzz visitors in, adding a level of security that we have not previously had.

We take campus safety very seriously and do all we can to ensure a safe environment for our students.

Thank you for all of your support this year. Have a happy Memorial Day!

Mrs. Woods

FAST TRACK 2022 – Monday, May 23rd to Friday, June 24th

FAST TRACK is a MANDATORY program for all high school students which gives them the opportunity to take ten credits of a course to remediate or accelerate, and/or to take a college course. During FAST TRACK, students take a full year (two semesters) of a course for 4.25 hours a day (including a fifteen-minute break) for five weeks beginning Monday, May 23rd to Friday, June 24th. The day begins at 8:30AM and ends at 12:45PM.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance during FAST TRACK is different from the school year in that students are only allowed to miss 8 hours of time during the entire FAST TRACK. Tardies count as one hour and a day is four hours. Any combination above 8 hours results in a need to withdraw and an F grade for the affected semester. There are no excused absences during FAST TRACK. This is necessary in order to meet the state requirement for issuing credit for a year’s worth of a course. Students may not miss more than two days (8 total hours). Four tardies are the equivalent of one day of school, therefore; two days absent and one tardy will result in a failing grade.

Letters have been mailed home including additional details as well as your child’s FAST TRACK class.

Spring 2022 College Early Start $100 Scholarship Request Form Open!

The form is due on Friday, June 17th by 11:59 pm. NO exceptions! This is three weeks from today…get it done!

MHS  Fastrack Update:

Schedule Change: To account for losing a day of fast track to Memorial Day, we will need to add 15 minutes onto each day starting Tuesday, May 31st.

Therefore, starting Tuesday, May 31st, fast track will end at 1:00 instead of 12:45 as originally planned. This change will be for the remainder of fast track.

The last day of Fast track is still Friday, June 24th.

COVID-19 April Update:

Case counts by school

PCS: 1

DCS: 3

MHS: 2

In terms of exposures, the CDPH guidelines for K-12 schools, most recently updated on April 6, 2022, now state the following:

Schools may consider permitting asymptomatic exposed students, regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status or location of exposure, to continue to take part in all aspects of K-12 schooling, including sports and extracurricular activities, unless they develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19. It is strongly recommended that exposed students wear a well-fitting mask indoors around others for at least 10 days following the date of last exposure, if not already doing so.

 

As always, a letter will be sent home or emailed if someone in your child’s class tests positive. To read the guidelines in their entirety, refer to the following link:

Primary Charter School

Welcome back! This week we received an amazing surprise donation from the Toys for Tots Literacy Program. They graciously donated over $800 worth of BRAND NEW books to our mobile library! We are so appreciative and cannot wait to stock our library.

Our 3rd and 4th grade classes got to have a fun, hands on science experiment with the World of Wonder science museum. They learned learned about force, velocity and got to create bottle rockets and launch them. It was a great learning experience and our students watching their rockets fly!

Remember: Friday, May 6 is an early release day.

FAST TRACK 2022 – Monday, May 23rd to Friday, June 24th

FAST TRACK is a MANDATORY program for all high school students which gives them the opportunity to take ten credits of a course to remediate or accelerate, and/or to take a college course. During FAST TRACK, students take a full year (two semesters) of a course for 4.25 hours a day (includes a fifteen minute break) for five weeks beginning Monday, May 23rd to Friday, June 24th. The day begins at 8:30AM and ends at 12:45PM.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance during FAST TRACK is different from the school year in that students are only allowed to miss 8 hours of time during the entire FAST TRACK. Tardies count as one hour and a day is four hours. Any combination above 8 hours results in a need to withdraw and an F grade for the affected semester. There are no excused absences during FAST TRACK. This is necessary in order to meet the state requirement for issuing credit for a year’s worth of a course. Students may not miss more than two days (8 total hours). Four tardies are the equivalent of one day of school, therefore; two days absent and one tardy will result in a failing grade.

Letters have been mailed home including additional details as well as your child’s FAST TRACK class.

LUNCH: Ordering lunch is slightly different this year. All students should have a lunch account to pay for lunches. To register, go to https://www.mymealtime.com/ and create an account. You must choose/type in your specific school (Millennium High School) and you will need your student school I.D. number. If you have any difficulties creating an account online, money can still be added to your account by either cash, check, or debit card. You can drop off payment in the lunch dropbox that is located in the main office. We are still in the process of adding new students to our mealtime system and hope to have it completed next week.

Lunch is ordered the day before it is delivered to class. All students should order their lunch during 4th period/HUB time. The Google Classroom code is SEUNSOU. Applications for Free & Reduced meals must be completed and turned in every year. You can apply on the school’s website.
