Hello McMillin Families,
As we prepare for the start of the 2020-2021 school year, I wanted to communicate a timeline of several school events that will be occurring over the few weeks in preparation for our start in distance learning. Please note that these dates may be updated, as needed, and that you will receive reminders for each event via our School blog and School Messenger communications.

If you did not get the opportunity to fill out the survey you can still register for a device and or Hotspot HERE. You will need to fill out a form for each child that needs a device. |
| August 12th | Office Staff will return to work and our school office opens for virtual service between the hours of 7:45 am – 3:45 pm. This service includes phone calls and drop-offs (No walk-ins nor in-person service). |

| Yearbooks Distribution | Yearbooks are here and will be distributed to students who purchased them last year along with their school materials. There are extras to purchase. If you would like to purchase, please email |
| School Supplies | Even though getting your child school supplies is optional. Your child’s teachers will be getting a more complete list when they report back to work on August 26th. If I were to guess what supplies your child may need if you want to get a head start is a couple of notebooks one for reading, one for writing, and one for math work, headphones or earbuds, post its, pencils, and a relatively quiet place to work (if possible). |
| Daily Schedules | Classroom schedules are dependent on the grade and the teacher, our teachers report to work on August 26th. Your child’s teacher will be notifying you soon after on your child’s daily schedule. The time frame that the teacher will set up your child’s schedule is in grades 1st – 6th from 8:15-2:45, Kinder from 8:15 am- 2:30 pm, AM TK from 8:00 am – 11:20 am, PM TK from 11:40 – 3:00 pm. **Your child will not be online during this entire time. |
Beginning of the year documents: In response to Covid-19 social distancing requirements, our District has moved many of its requirements online, including the Annual Notification packet and acknowledgment letter. Please review the attached letter and send back to us electronically or by a simple email acknowledging your receipt of the packet and letter. You may also access the packet online by clicking here.
I hope that everyone is having a wonderful week. Rest assured that I will update this timeline as additional information becomes available and you will continue to receive communications from me regularly as we proceed toward the beginning of the school year. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
