Last week we had a wonderful turnout for our Mills Middle School Open House. Before school started we had a great orientation where scholars picked up their schedules, acquired their ID's and Lockers, purchased some Comet Gear, and met their teachers. Last we held an open house for the sole purpose of parents and guardians visiting our campus and meeting our instructional team. The Open House was well attended and parents appreciated both meeting the teachers and the classrooms of their scholars. #thebestisyettocome #openhouse #millsmiddleschoolcomets
Two weeks down and our Mills Middle School comets are building relationships with their teachers and each other and solidifying the foundations for a successful school year.
