Future McMillan Parents and Students
Hello future McMillan parents and students!
My name is Jason Ervin, and I am the Principal at McMillan Jr. High. I have been at McMillan a long time and it is an amazing school! I wanted to reach out and let you guys know that your student will register for classes the week of March 18th. You guys will be able to log into skyward until April 12th to see what classes were selected and to make any changes needed.
On March 19th we will have an incoming 7th grade scheduling meeting for 6th grade parents and students. The meeting will be held at McMillan in the cafeteria beginning at 6:00 pm.
I hope you all can make the meeting on the 19th. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to myself with any questions you may have. I would be more than happy to help! I have also included my Counselors email addresses as well.
Thank you and have an amazing day!
