Dear Parents and Community Members,

Thank you for support! This has been a great year thus far, and we are looking forward to a productive fourth quarter after Spring Break.

In April and May, the students will take the Writing, Reading and Math FSA Assessments and the End of Course exams for Civics, Biology, Geometry, and Algebra. Please check the school website for the specific dates for testing. We would like our students to arrive to school on time and ready to test.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

With Star Pride,

Francine Baugh Principal

General Information for our STAR Parents and Students

School Hours

Students 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM

Breakfast Begins at 9:00 AM

Notices and Reminders

The drop off location is in the front of the building. No students should be dropped off in the bus loop for safety reasons.

Upon entering the campus, you must go directly to the Front Office (Single Point of Entry), sign in and get a visitor pass. Visitors’ passes are only valid for one day. With so many people entering and exiting campus, it creates an unsafe environment and prohibits the faculty and staff from carrying out the responsibility of making sure that all children entering the Millennium campus are safe and secure.

Also, if you have a concern about your child, please call the office to make an appointment. The staff at Millennium is dedicated to making sure that your children have an effective school atmosphere. That cannot be carried out if there are several unscheduled visits. An appointment also assures that your needs concerning your child can be discussed and taken care of without any interruptions.

Dismissal is the most hectic part of the day. A request for early dismissal of your child must be made prior to 4:00 PM. After that time, we will be unable to call your child to the office.

Lastly, please be advised that there is no supervision for your child before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM unless he or she is registered in the Before/After Care Program. All transportation arrangements for your child should be made ahead of time. We do understand that emergencies do arise and will do our best to accommodate your needs. We are also asking that you do not call the school asking that messages be delivered to your child during class time. To ensure that communication is accurate please make sure that your child is aware of things before he or she leaves home in the morning.

These guidelines and procedures are not established to inconvenience anyone or to make you feel unwelcome at Millennium. They are simply necessary for the safety and wellbeing of every child entrusted in our care. Your understanding, cooperation, and assistance are greatly appreciated.

The TIP Social Studies Fair Project is here! This year, the Social Studies Department will lead the TIP Social Studies Project. All students, at Millennium,

will be required to choose a topic based on their grade level social studies curricula.

The pacing guide for each grade level will walk students through each week’s assignments leading up to the submission date in March. Teachers may provide

support for this project. However, the requirements need to be completed at home, unless your student’s teacher otherwise notifies you. Your responsibility, as a parent or guardian, is to provide the necessary materials for the approved

topic, research project, and all other requirements from your teacher. If you have any questions, please direct them to your student’s social studies teacher.
