Beating the summer slide can be done by some simple activities during the summer. You could visit our local libraries to check out books or even take some classes. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


Comet Nation join us for our Senior Send Off sponsored by the Senior Moms and Supporters. Date: 6/20/20 Time: 2:00 pm Location: Mills High. This includes a Senior Parade, yard sign viewing, and balloon release. Seniors will receive directions via email. Email chouston@pcssd.org for more info.

Every student should have their final report card. Parents of students in kindergarten and 1st grade received an email report card. Parents of students in grades 2 - 12 can find their child's report card in HAC. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


Reminder! Thursday, June 11, 2020, students in the Mills Feeder can turn if your Chromebooks at Mills University Studies High School at 708 East Dixon Road. You shall do so between 4pm until 6pm. Please take advantage of this final opportunity before we break for the summer.
Summer School students will get a loaner device.

The summer slide overwhelmingly impacts kids from lower income families more than others. It is reported that by the end of the 5th grade, students from lower income families are often 2.5 years behind their peers. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


LAST CHANCE!! The final collection date for Chromebooks is Thursday, June 11 from 4-6 pm. To avoid any late fees, please drop off the device, charger, and bag at SYLVAN HILLS MIDDLE, ROBINSON MIDDLE, MILLS UNIVERSITY STUDIES HIGH or MAUMELLE HIGH. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


Teachers spend valuable classroom time at the beginning of each school year to catch up students who have fallen behind where they should be. It can take 4-6 weeks to re-teach students the material they forgot. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


By the time students get to high school, the learning loss caused by the summer slide can create a performance gap of 2-5 years. But simply practicing some skills will keep your student sharp heading into next year. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


The Arkansas Department of Health will hold a COVID-19 screening at the City Hall in Wrightsville on Saturday, June 6 from 9am - 2pm
DETAILS: https://mills.pcssd.org/article/256758?org=wilbur-d-mills-hs


The summer slide is real and students can lose more than 2.5 months of math skills, 2 months of reading skills, and multiple grade levels of abilities without putting what they have learned this list year to practice. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


Registration is still open! Families with students returning to Wilbur D. Mills University Studies High must register. Registration information can be found online at pcssd.org/register. If you have questions, please contact Angela Nichols at anichols7097@pcssd.org.


Many students have already closed their books and won't open them again until school is back in session. This puts kids at risk of falling behind and lower standardized test scores. We will provide facts and tips to avoid the summer slide here. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


Seniors,
Don't forget the FAFSA day June 3, 2020.
