Budget Advisory Committee Member Request
McMillin is in need of a parent to be on the Budget Advisory Committee. The parent representative will learn about school and District budget processes and provide valuable input on District budget priorities. The parent will be McMillin’s site’s voice on the District’s budget planning and will report information back to your School Site Council. Please email me at cynthia.orr@cvesd.org if you are interested in volunteering for this committee.
The first BAC meeting is scheduled as follows:
DATE: October 18, 2017
TIME: 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.
PLACE: Board Room, ESSC
Some of the key areas to be discussed at the October 18 BAC meeting will be:
*Introductions and BAC roles and responsibilities.
*Report on District and School Site budget process.
*BAC meeting dates.
Translation and/or childcare services are available if requested. Call the office at 619 397-0103 if you have any questions. We appreciate your assistance and thank you for your support.
Solar Eclipse Safety
The partial solar eclipse will be observed between 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. on August 21, 2017, in Chula Vista.
Please help us communicate the message that it is just as dangerous to look at the sun during the eclipse as it is every other day. Individuals should not look directly at the sun at any time. We will be reviewing this message with students on and before the day of the eclipse. We will be watching the eclipse safely from NASA websites.
Our recess will operate on a regular schedule on the day of the eclipse. Recess supervision will be instructed to be watching for students who may be purposely looking at the sun and stop such behavior.
“A partial eclipse of the sun will be visible from San Diego County on August 21, 2017
(https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/usa/san-diego) from approximately 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
A total eclipse of the sun will be visible in other parts of the country, which NASA will livestream
on its website.
CVESD is not supporting the use of manufactured eclipse glasses for our students. Sunglasses
will not prevent this type of injury. Only specially manufactured eclipse glasses will do that, and
there are already reports of counterfeit glasses being sold.”
What is happening at McMillin – August 14th-25th
Our first PTA meeting was a HIT!! We had over 40 parents in attendance. Click on link for volunteer opportunities
MFA – Multicultural Family Association / ELAC
We started a new parent club. This club will add to our ELAC parent group. We will need a few parents to join us as a steering committee. They will bring multicultural awareness to our families and students. This is such a great opportunity for McMillin because we have so many cultures and languages here. Our idea is to have a Multicultural day in the Spring where each class represents a different country. We would like to raise money for this club by having a Valentine’s Family Dance.
Our MFA will join Marshall and Olympic View committees once a quarter for ideas and support
