Calendar Adjustment for Cohort B: Monday, December 14, 2020
Monday, December 14 has been designated as a day for cohort B students (last names beginning with M-Z) to attend school (for face-to-face) or participate in synchronous learning (for School@Home). This day has been switched with Friday, December 18 for cohort B in order to ensure both cohorts participate in synchronous instruction the same number of minutes during the final week of the grading period.
Friday, December 18, is an asynchronous learning day for all students and a regular work day for staff.
2021-2022 10th Grade Course Selection
Dear Parents of current 9th graders:
(Assistencía en espaňol disponible en la reunion del 6 de Enero a las 12 PM)
It’s that time of year for counselors to start working with students in the 9th grade, and helping them choose their 10th grade classes. In order to assist you, counseling will have 2 Zoom meetings for parents that you may attend and ask questions about 10th grade here at McMillen. The first Chatting with Counselors meeting is Thursday, Dec 10th at 6 PM; we’ll have another one in early January on Jan 6th at noon. Counselors will work with the 9th grade students on either Jan 7th or January 8th, depending on which date is their synchronous cohort day. We will conduct a presentation through your student’s English class; school at home students will be asked to log into their English class, at the beginning of the period to hear counselors’ live presentation. We want parents to have a couple of opportunities to chat with counselors, and ask any and all questions they may have about life in 10th grade!! Zoom information is below, as well as our list of 10th grade classes being offered next year.
(En la junta de Enero, vamos a tener una persona traduciendo las preguntas que usted tenga.)
