McMillin’s Winter Sing

TK-6th Grade

Come Join us for our annual Winter Sing

December 14th

6:00pm -8:00pm at the Calvary Church

1771 E Palomar St, Chula Vista, CA 91913

 

Instead of holding our Winter Sings on three separate nights, we will hold our Sing at Calvary church on one night so that all grade levels can perform at one event.  On Monday the 14th, our music teacher, Mr. Simsic, and Mr. and Mrs. Boldt will be leading our performances. The performance will start at 6:00pm right next door to McMillin.

We will be sending a program of times shortly.

Thank you to Calvary Church for donating their facilities!

15 more school days, 26 more shopping days, 23 days until I get to see my oldest son. 🙂

This week’s Family Challenge: Sometime during the day list or talk about 3 things that you are grateful for. This could be a practice at the breakfast or dinner table, on the way to school, or when you say goodnight. It will make everyone happier, guaranteed. If we change what we focus on, we change our mindset.

Communication Outreach

We are always seeking ways to improve our communication with parents. To that end, I’d like to share information about two important channels of communication that are available to all parents.

1.  Our website has been updated and families that had previously subscribed need to subscribe again in order to receive the email reminders of all posts.  Please do that ASAP.  You will find that subscribe information at the bottom of our home page. Also, a new McMillin Calendar has been added.

2.  We are discontinuing our “McMillin App”. Now, parents can receive periodic text messages from the school and district if they sign up for this service with their cell phone. Here are the directions:

  1. Text “subscribe” to 68453
  2. You are successful if you receive the following SMS response: “You are registered to receive aprox. 3 msgs/mo. Txt STOP to quit, HELP for help.”
  3. You can unsubscribe at any time. Text the word, stop, to 68453.
NOTE: although the district does not charge you for this service, it does not pay for text message charges that may be incurred by you for sending or receiving text messages. Check with your wireless carrier for possible charges.
