If you drop off across the street, please have your students use the crosswalks. Parents are encouraged to be part of our school community and active partners in their children’s lives and education. We encourage parents to check agenda books, review student’s work on a daily basis and maintain communication with teachers to help monitor their child’s success. Most of our teachers have established expectations for their classes on the Millikan website: www.millikanmiddleschool.org We hope our parents will take advantage of our Parent Center and participate in other parent organizations, including our PTSA and other school councils on campus. We look forward to an exceptional year and your participation in it. Sincerely,</p><p>John J. Plevack Principal</p>
