Hello, Milliken!

I would like to welcome everyone to MMHS – whether you are a returning student or new to our school.  This year, we are expecting close to 1500 students, with about 390 incoming Grade 9 students.  We also are anticipating the arrival of a number of international students.  I would also like to welcome all parents/caregivers to the MMHS school community.  Parents/caregivers are our greatest partners in education.

Here are a few reminders:

·       September 5 is the first day of school for Grade 9 students and Community Class students.  September 6 is the first day of classes for all other students. 

·       The Guidance Department is working diligently on making last-minute timetable adjustments.  If you need a change made to your timetable, please complete the Google Form before September 13: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfdUTIHj6JwFtH0MkMaWh2i6X_0W8b_8aQuFITuZO6K5I-kGg/viewform    Please be patient as the Guidance Counsellors work through this process. 

·       Please pay the Student Activity Fee of $40 as soon as possible.  These funds are used to support clubs and events at the school to continue to make Milliken a great place to be, learn and grow.

·       Parents/guardians are invited to join the School Council.  The first meeting and the election of members will take place on Monday, September 18 at 7:00 p.m. in the school library.

·       Students (and visitors) should screen themselves https://www.ontario.ca/self-assessment/ every day before coming to school.   

This year, the school is welcoming about a dozen new staff members.  They are excited to join MMHS and enhance your educational experience here.
