Lets Celebrate Dr. Seuss

This week our school will be celebrating  Read Across America Day all week! Thanks to our PTA we have some fun events planned throughout the week. We encourage all students to celebrate their spirit by dressing up on the following days:

  • Monday Feb 25 is Twins Day. Find a friend or two and match your outfits
  • Tuesday Feb 26 Dress like the Cat in the Hat. Wear red, white and black
  • Wed Feb 27 Wacky Wednesday dress as crazy as possible!
  • Thu Feb 28  Wear your hair like a Dr. Seuss Character
  • Fri March 1 Pajama Day. This is also the day where volunteers from our McMillin community will be in the classroom reading to students. If you’re interested in volunteering to be a ready please contact Karina McIntyre at mcintyrekarina@live.com

Attendance

As everyone knows school attendance is extremely important:

A 2008 study conducted by the Rodel Community Scholars at Arizona State University that tracked students from kindergarten through high school found that dropout patterns were linked with poor attendance, beginning in kindergarten. Gregory Hickman, director of the Rodel Community Scholars program and former director of the Arizona Dropout Initiative, notes they discovered that as early as kindergarten, behavioral differences are apparent between those who go on to graduate  and those who drop out, with dropouts missing an average of 124 days by eighth grade.

McMillin has always had excellent attendance rates thanks to the efforts of our students and parents. As a result we have also had excellent achievement. For those that have been at McMillin over the years, you know we celebrate these efforts by have  quarterly Attendance Awards. Students with PERFECT attendance are given a certificate along with a special reward acquired by Mrs. Huezo, our awsome Attendance Health Clerk. Please remember that we dont want students to come to school when they are legitamitly sick. If they have a fever please keep them home. Also, the only EXCUSED absence will be for illness or a death in the immediate family. Early dismissals also count as an absence.
