Tiger Times
WEEK OF ~ April 16, 2023
Millennium Family ~
I would like to invite our Millennium Community out to our Community Safety meeting this Thursday, April 20th at 5:30 in the Tiger's Den with Superintendent Yslas. Superintendent Yslas will be discussing the implementation of weapon detectors on our campus, which we are set to begin on Monday, April 24th.
This week we will be preparing our students for the weapon detectors. We will have a lesson during advisory on Tuesday. Announcements will be made all week reminding students to have their IDs. Students who have lost their ID need to report to the bookstore to get another one. They 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 - 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.

STAFF CELEBRATIONS!
Hey Tiger Families!
Our Millennium student council and administration are so excited to celebrate our staff in a big way the week of May 8th - May 12th, but we can't do it without you. 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.
If you choose to join in the celebration of our Millennium High School educators, please fill out this quick Google Form (https://forms.gle/cuxf8aqtgnvtatRV8) so we can anticipate donations. Then, please plan to deliver your item(s) to the MHS office no later than May 3rd, 2022. If you are unable to deliver please reach out to LaToya DeJesus (ldejesus@aguafria.org) to arrange pick up.
