A Message from our CEO, Carolyn Woods
Spring break is right around the corner, and graduation will follow very soon after that! This is the time of the year when we start planning and preparing for the upcoming school year. Next year, I am going to make a slight change to the MHS schedule. Instead of the 8th period ending at 4:30, it will end at 4:00 PM. I am making this change for a variety of reasons, but I feel as if it will make a positive impact on our students and staff. We were able to achieve the 30-minute difference by adjusting class periods by just 5 minutes; instead of one-hour blocks, each class will be 55 minutes.
Individual student schedules will be handed out during the last week of Fast Track.
Thank you!
Mrs. Woods
NOTE: IMPORTANT CALENDAR CHANGE:

This year seems to be just flying by. As we begin to prepare for next year, we would like to remind our current 6th-grade parents that all incoming seventh-graders must be up to date with his/her required immunizations.
As required by California law, (Health and Safety Code 120325 – 120375), parents need to provide proof of receiving the Tdap vaccine (Pertussis – Whooping Cough Booster).
All students entering 7th – 12th grades must have proof of a Tdap booster shot. Documentation must state the shot was given on or after their 7th birthday. This means ALL current 6th graders must get up to date.
It is important that you begin now, to ensure your child get their vaccination and to avoid appointment delays.
Receiving the immunizations and ensuring they are up to date now, will not only protect them against Pertussis, but also ensure class placement and prevent exclusion from school in the coming year. No students will be allowed to attend school next year without up to date immunizations.
Remember to ask your physician about other vaccines your child may need, and bring your child’s yellow immunization card to the visit. Please return a copy of ALL up to date immunizations to Kay Fagundes in the school office before May 19, 2023.
For questions, please call your primary physician today or call the San Joaquin County Public Health Services Program, at (209) 468-3481.
Again, no students will be allowed to attend school next year, without up-to-date immunizations. We are requesting TDaP proof to be brought to the office by May 19, 2023.

Hello! This past Thursday our MHS juniors put their interview skills to the test as they participated in our annual internship luncheon. Students in Mr. Woods’ Career Education class prepare for this special event all year- from working on resumes to completing etiquette training, it is a culmination of hard work and dedication. Members of the Tracy community volunteer their time to conduct mock interviews and network with our students. It is a wonderful opportunity for our MHS students to shine, and boy did they! Great job to all involved!

Hello TLC families! We have had an overwhelming response to our open enrollment season once again. I wish we could accommodate all families who wish to enroll in our schools, but we are limited in space. Families who do not get in will remain on the waitlist until a spot opens up. Some families wait 7+ years to get into our schools. It is a testament, though, to the wonderful educational opportunities PCS, DCS, and MHS offer to students and families. We will continue to strive to be the gold standard of charter schools in our area!

Bringing social-emotional learning into the home adds personalization and relevance for children. It gives students real-world opportunities to plan, problem-solve, and reflect as they grow their social-emotional skills. It strengthens relationships among family members, encouraging regular and ongoing conversations between parent and child. Bringing social-emotional learning into the home empowers families to use life’s moments, both good and bad, as ways to help their child grow.

TLC Proudly Celebrates Black History Month!
The Millennium High School Black Student Union kicked off the celebration with a door decorating contest. Students designed and decorated classroom doors following a rubric that called for creativity and connections to the curriculum. The doors were judged by members of the BSU along with representatives from the Tracy African American Association. We applaud the hard work and effort demonstrated by all!
Other celebrations around campus:
MHS math students created nets for 3-D Geometrical shapes and decorated them in honor of Black History Month.
PCS students are reading and learning about famous African Americans who have made a difference.

MHS Highlights:
This week our Chemistry classes got a chance to meet with a very special scientist in the field of organic biosensors. We really appreciate Dr Toby Nelson for taking the time to speak with our students and answer their questions. It is a great opportunity for them to get some real world experience to go along with their lessons. Thank you Dr Nelson and Mrs Paleaz!
Toby L. Nelson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Director of Student Engagement and STEM Initiatives in the College of Arts and Sciences at Oklahoma State University. Professor Nelson’s research program covers the design and synthesis of organic semiconductors, polymer chemistry, green chemistry, mechanochemistry, organic electronics, biosensors, bioelectronics and the development of bioinspired materials based on the natural pigment, Melanin. His current research focuses on the design and synthesis of organic materials via green methods such as green solvent usage, C-H functionalization and solvent-free techniques like high-speed ball-milled reactions.
He holds a B.S. in Chemistry from Francis Marion University and Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of South Carolina. Dr. Nelson was also a UNCF-Merck Postdoctoral Fellow in organic materials at Carnegie Mellon University under the advisement of Professor Richard D. McCullough (now President of Florida State University).

You may notice our campus solar project is in the final stages. We have a lot of heavy equipment on site as they begin connecting our new solar panel structures to our electrical system. The construction team has assured me they will not interfere with classes but please be aware during carlines that heavy equipment may be moving around. We cannot wait to have our new system up and running in time for the sunshine!
