Tiger Times
WEEK OF ~ April 23, 2023
Millennium Family ~
Thank you to all those who made it out to our Community Safety Meeting with Superintendent Yslas! We are set to launch the implementation of weapon detectors tomorrow. Monday we will mainly focus on getting the students introduced to the entry points. It'll take us a couple days to get rolling. Students will not be marked tardy as we implement this process provided they've arrived to school on time. I highly recommend allowing yourself a little more time and arrive 5-10 minutes earlier. Gates will open at 6:30am. Reminder students will be required to show their ID every morning as they enter campus.
There will be three entry points to campus as indicated by the map. #1 - front of the school drop off (gate between guidance counseling and the J building), #2 - bus loop (gate between L & M buildings.) This is where our baseball parking lot students should enter, #3 - student parking lot (gate between the U & N buildings by the dance room). Late start and West MEC students will park as they usually do and enter through the student parking lot entrance gate (between U & N) onto campus. Students who are tardy to school will enter through the attendance office. We will have detectors there. Parents and any other community members will still enter through the attendance office and will go through the weapon detectors prior to conducting any business on campus. Please be sure to have your ID.
Please note - Weapon detectors will be at our attendance office as well. Anyone coming on campus to conduct business will be required to enter through the weapon detectors. As we continue to focus on safety and security measures a reminder that ID's are required for individuals picking up students. Please be sure to have those with you any time you're coming into the attendance office.
Early Release - Wednesday 4/26 - Classes are dismissed at 10:15am. No lunch will be served.

STAFF CELEBRATIONS! Teacher Appreciation Week is approaching quickly...

We are seeking creative, generous families and community partners to help us during this week known nationally as Teacher Appreciation Week. Our hope is that all 120 staff members are given some token of appreciation through gifts, acts of kindness and words of gratitude throughout the week and particularly as we gather for our staff luncheon on May 24th.
Will you help? Can your family or your business provide a raffle basket? How about a gift card, tickets to an event, or service? We’d love to have you join us in honoring our educators who work so hard to teach, lead, and nurture our students.
