McMillin supports our South Bay YMCA
If every student at McMillin donated $1. We could really make a difference in supporting our local families through the South Bay YMCA. Our money goes directly to our community.
Please consider donating $1.00 to our McMillin YMCA page.
Lifting Outdoor Mask Mandate
“Currently, we are happy to announce a lifting of the requirement to wear masks outdoors at school. This policy update will take effect on Monday, February 28. Of course, any student or staff member who feels more comfortable wearing a mask while outdoors at school is welcome to continue to do so. We continue to have the mandate to always wear masks indoors for all students and adults. We will continue to monitor health organizations’ recommendations, and local, state, and federal mandates to determine the best course of action as we navigate through this pandemic.”
**It is my understanding that students will still need to wear masks in the lunch line when entering the cafeteria.
6th Grade Promotion
This year our 6th-grade promotion will be outside on the playground. The date is Thursday, June 2nd at 9:00-10:00 am. We need a few things to pull this off. Any ideas are appreciated. We are looking to rent a stage and speaker system for outside. Parents can park on the blacktop, etc.
