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. Pictured here is Mr. Boaitey's class where scholars are conducting partner interviews, Ms. Hill's class where scholars are deciphering clues as history detectives, Ms. Riordan's class where scholars are collaborating to build the highest tower, and Ms. Vail's class readying for a subject beachball toss. #buildingconnections #avidstrategies #wewin #millsmiddleschoolcomets

MILLS MIDDLE students enjoyed comparing schedules before heading off to class last week. For our middle school students, the wide variety of course options is always a new and exciting experience. Think beyond a core class, what was your favorite elective? #pcssdproud #serveall
Our EAST students are already sharpening their critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills. They worked together to build a pyramid out of cups without touching the cups with their hands! We can’t wait to see what projects these students will work on next.

DAY #1 = SUCCESS!
An awesome first day was had at Comet Nation! Teachers spent the day building relational capacity (getting to know and making connections) with their students. Students were engaged in collaborative activities, writing, public speaking, and having fun. Great day all around! #thebestisyettocome #wewin #millsmiddleschoolcomets #pcssdproud #firstdayof school #smiles

'Twas the night before school starts, and all through the district
Our teachers are feeling quite optimistic.
The buses and classrooms were prepped with such care,
Ready to welcome the students with fresh lessons to share.
In Maumelle, stingers from five awesome school
Will swarm the hallways and follow the rules.
Always buzzing to play, to learn and to grow
Excited to be back at the best school that they know!
All the birds, bears and bobcats from our Sylvan Hills Feeder,
Will be ready to go because they're so eager.
They're quick to connect, joining hands, setting records
Bringing smiles and pride to the city of Sherwood!
Our Mills feeder students shine bright as they dream
We’ve got dragons, big cats and birds on the team.
Soaring to become Comets, brightening the sky
As they work to graduate from Mills University Studies High.
As Senators, Broncos, Gators and Panthers climb into bed
Our Robinson students are resting their heads.
This feeder is DRIVEN, they are ready to rock
It’s time to sleep, no more watching the clock.
The start of the 24-25 school year is looking so bright!
Our teachers, admin and staff wish you all a good night!
