Return Library Books, Student Items Pick Up and New Registrations for 2020/21

McMillin Families,

As the year comes to a close, we would like to thank you for your continued support during this challenging time.  Our office staff is on campus from now until June 16th to close out the school year.  While our office is not open to the public, please call us at 619-397-0103, we can come out curbside, to help with the following:

  • Medication Pick Up
  • Student Materials (from their current classroom) can be picked up if you haven’t done so yet.  If you are unable to come, it will be held until we open again.
  • NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION for the 2020/21 School Year (Residency verification for current students is currently on hold at this time) 

 

If you have classroom library books or school library books, there is a basket on a table in the bus loop that you can drop them off in.

Thank you again!  If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office during the hours of 7:30am – 4:00pm or email us at cynthia.orr@cvesd.org or crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Orr and Mrs. Sutton

 

 

 

 

 

 

DASH Lottery for 2020-2021 – Window Open Now

Due to closures of CVESD schools and the YMCA, the DASH LOTTERY process for the 2020-2021 school year will be completed online only.

DASH 2020-2021 Lottery Sign Up Information V.3

The attached document provides a link to register into the lottery. Once the registration period is complete, the YMCA will run the random lottery process which selects the accepted students per school. The YMCA will then email those families prior to the start of school that have been accepted for their next steps. Those not selected will be placed on the waitlists which will be re-evaluated once school opens. Registration into the lottery does not guarantee students into the program. Any registrations submitted after the deadline will be placed on the waitlists. One registration per student allowed and only for their selected school.

IMPORTANT DATES 

 DASH Registration Opens Online Only: NOW

 Lottery Submission Period: Through May 8, 2020

Dear McMillin Families,

As you know, it was announced this afternoon that our CVESD schools will remain closed indefinitely.  Dr. Escobedo shared today, “We will send you weekly updates while our schools are closed until further notice.”  We miss all of our students and families, however, we understand that we must do our part to support our community’s safety.

The next two weeks are our previously scheduled Spring Break.  We hope that you will be able to spend this time, enjoying moments with your students.

We continue to be available to support you and your family.  Please reach out to us if you need anything:  Cynthia Orr – cynthia.orr@cvesd.org and Crystal Sutton – crystal.sutton@cvesd.org.

We miss you all and can’t wait to see you again!

Stay healthy and safe,

Mrs. Orr and Mrs. Sutton
