Welcome Back Students – McMillin’s 1st Week of Instruction

Welcome to our first week of the now infamous 2020-2021 school year. A year that will go down in history. I believe that there are going to be some very exciting things that are going to come out of this pandemic. Education will need to change. McMillin’s teachers and staff are ready. We are so excited to finally see students again. We missed you all very much.

There may be a few bumps along this path, but we are committed to every student. Especially our students and families of color that we and our school systems may not have judged fairly. We are here to listen and ready and willing to make our students’ and families’ elementary school experience the best it can possibly be. Thank you and let’s get started. – Mrs. Orr

Attendance

Instruction starts at 8:15 am (TK at 8:00). It is always a good idea to have your child log in a couple of minutes early. We are going to have to be very flexible this week. If your child is having a hard time getting on, your internet kicked them out, etc, please email the teacher. Don’t worry we will get all these glitches worked out. If your child can log on within the first 30 minutes, you don’t need to email. I would imagine that our IT department is going to be pretty busy tomorrow, so let your child’s teacher know if you run into any problems.

Student Passwords

Access to your child’s information is on our District’s Home Access Center. https://www.cvesd.org/parents/my_childs_school/home_access_center

Some of you emailed me about your TK or Kinder passwords not working. They should be working by tomorrow. I didn’t realize that our IT department was not finished with the uploads when I gave you your child’s passcodes. The TK and Kinder passwords will be two lowercase letters for your child’s initials. co123456= (students first and last initial + student ID + = ). You may have had the default password work before and now it is not. IT is reformatting all TK and Kinder students so they do not have to use the SHIFT key. Makes sense.

Student Devices

If you are finding that you will need a device for your child to be successful for distance learning. Please fill out this form. We will put you on a waiting list and get the devices to you ASAP. Here is the LINK:
