Graduation Practice - MANDATORY

Tuesday, June 4th & Wednesday, June 5th @ 10am-12pm - Football Field

Attendance is mandatory. If a student is unable to attend both practices, please contact Mrs. Bedard in the Main Office prior to the 1st practice.

Caps, gowns and school records will be distributed at practice. There is no charge for the cap & gown. However, if a student owes an obligation to the school such as a senior survey, Chromebook, charger, textbooks, athletic uniform, etc. they will not receive their cap and gown until the obligation is fulfilled. Students will be advised by the 1st practice if they have any such obligations. 

We’ve started collecting school issued Chromebooks and chargers for those seniors who have their own devices. For those still using their school devices, they are welcome to hang onto the device until classes, AP exams, and senior projects are completed. However, all school issued equipment must be returned, charged and in good working order before the 1st graduation practice.

5th ANNUAL SENIOR ROLLING RALLY THROUGH MILLIS - Friday, May 31st

This year’s Rolling Rally will be on Friday, May 31. It will start at 6pm.  Participation in the Rolling Rally itself is for members of the MHS Class of 2024 and their immediate families.  Students will be escorted around town, in style, by the Millis police and fire departments. Parents are welcome (and encouraged) to be chauffeurs so students can give full attention to the many fans lined along the parade route. More details/procotols will be shared as we get closer to the event.  The fire department will be setting up a bonfire at the school to be lit following the parade. 

SENIOR COOKOUT - Tuesday, June 4th at 12:30pm - Football field

~ Other Important Info ~

Yearbooks

Please visit Yearbookordercenter.com to order your yearbook. Use Millis code 5291. Orders must be in by June 7th. Reach out to Mrs. Graham if you have any questions.

Student Health & Permanent Records

With the exception of their Official Transcript, all Student Records (this includes Health records as well as Permanent Records) will be signed for and given to the seniors at graduation practice. These records may contain immunizations and other important information required by many colleges so please keep these records in a safe place. Millis High School does NOT keep copies of these records, or of your diploma. Giving these records to you will serve as their “destruction.” The only record we keep on file is their Official Transcript.

Student Obligations

Students who owe an obligation to the school such as a senior survey, Chromebook, charger, textbooks, athletic uniform, etc. will not receive their cap and gown until the obligation is fulfilled. Students will be advised by the 1st practice if they have any such obligations. 

Senior School Emails - Disabled After Graduation

Senior school emails will be disabled during the summer. Seniors will need to create a personal email account and transfer whatever info they want (including changing over any newsletters & notifications you wish to keep) to that new email address. This is fairly simple if it is a Gmail account. To create a new account, click here: https://takeout.google.com/transfer
This is useful if you don’t want to co-mingle school stuff with another personal account. For basic Google account stuff you may need you can click here: https://myaccount.google.com/If more help is needed you can click here for support: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/21289
Please do this soon as there will not be a reminder before emails are disabled.

 

Parent Volunteers Wanted

As we plan for the events celebrating our seniors, we’re looking for parent volunteers that would be willing to help with planning, fundraising, and assisting at events. Specifically, we’re looking for help in setting up some food stations for our seniors following the rolling rally. If you are interested please contact Class of 2024 advisors Mr. Bigelow [email protected],  or Mr. Carter, [email protected]

Thank you!
