Welcome to McMillan's 2025-2026 School Year!

Hello, McMillan Community!  We are so glad that you are here and hope that you are feeling ready to take on a new school year together. We hope everyone 1-6 had a wonderful first day of school!

We have a few upcoming things to remind you about:

1. Kindergarteners start THIS Thursday and there will be a mini-event for parents/guardians directly after drop off.  

2. We are starting our Membership drive on August 25 to September 5th. Please consider joining the PTA.  The membership cost is $10.  More information on what that money goes toward as well as a Membership Drive Event flyer, look in the PTA packet you will receive the second week of school.  

3. The PTA packets will be dropped off to teachers at the end of the first week of school so that they can go home with students starting August 25th.  PLEASE look through the papers inside!  We have lots of good information!  Your student(s) will also be able to receive a small gift/prize for returning the packet to school, even if ALL they fill out is their name on any page inside. 

4. We are excitedly awaiting a BOOK VENDING MACHINE that we will use to give every student a book of their choice during their birthday month OR their half-birthday month if they're birthdate falls in June or July.  We appreciate Dr. Dolata for making this happen and Shayla Page for her wonderful idea to get this for our school to use!

5. Here is a brief list of events to look forward to (and mark your calendars for) in September:
  • 9/1 NO SCHOOL for the Labor Day Holiday 
  • 9/4 Our FIRST PTA meeting will be on Thursday, September 4th at 12:00 pm in the McMillan Library 
  • 9/8 PTC sign-ups open on
  • 9/9 Vision Screening
  • 9/12 Back to School BBQ
  • 9/17 Reflections program Kick-Off Assembly at 9:30 am
  • 9/18 School Pictures!
  • 9/22 and 9/23 Parent Teacher Conferences AND our Scholastic Book Fair
  • 9/26 NO SCHOOL as a Teacher Compensatory Day 

Thank you for making time to stay in touch and up to date with the amazing things we have going on at McMillan this year!
