Reminder to Test and Request to Wear High Quality Masks |
Dear Families and Students:
Happy New Year!
Given the rise of COVID cases, including the high presence of the Omicron variant, we are ramping up our testing requests to include ALL students and staff regardless of vaccination status. In addition, our District has received enough KN95 masks to distribute to our students and staff the first week we return from recess. We strongly encourage the use of these provided masks as they are significantly more effective than cloth masks in preventing the spread of the Omicron Variant of COVID-19.
SMUHSD staff is excited to welcome students back to school from Winter Recess for the start of the second semester on Wednesday, January 5. Students who took a free iHealth COVID test offered by their school should take the first test on Sunday, January 2 and the second test on Tuesday, January 4. Further directions can be reviewed on this flyer. Students who do not have internet access can report their results to (650) 275-5419.
Remember, if your student tests positive, has COVID symptoms, or has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID, please keep them home from school and call their school’s Health Aide to report the absence and receive further directions. Our schools will respond to these calls and emails as quickly as possible.
Collectively we’ve done a great job managing COVID-19 exposures while keeping schools functioning smoothly this school year. Let’s keep it up!
Thank you for your support of student and staff health and safety.
Sincerely,
Kevin Skelly, Ph.D.
Superintendent
Sara Devaney, M.S.
Health Services Manager

Senior Grad Night Meeting January 11th at 7:00 PM |
Hello Senior Parents,
It’s time to plan for our Senior Grad Night in Mills High School! As graduation approaches for 2022 high school seniors in Mills, there’s no doubt that plans for college, careers, and what they’re going to do with the rest of their young lives are in front of them. Perhaps the most exciting question seniors are pondering before graduation—“where will we go for senior grad night? Back in Oct 2021, we sent out a Grad Night location survey to all the seniors, and by popular demand, 96% of our seniors wanted to visit Universal Studios on June 3rd, 2022. We want to take this opportunity to invite you to join our Grad Night Senior Parents Meeting on Jan. 11th, 2022, at 7 pm via Zoom to form a parent planning committee to plan:
- Grad night transportation
- Grad night chaperones
- Grad night logistics
- Fundraising
- Other ways to celebrate seniors (like lawn signs, swag bags, etc.)
- How to support the graduation ceremony
Mr. Jose Gómez (our Assistant Principal Gómez) will be joining us on Jan. 11th, 2022 to answer any district questions. Any new ideas are welcome in our meeting.

Annual Fund Campaign 2021-2022 |
Dear Mills Families and Friends,
Happy New Year! We hope you enjoyed the holidays with your loved ones. We are reaching out to ask you to donate to the Mills Annual Fund. A big thank you to the families and staff that have already donated.
What is the Mills Annual Fund?
As many of you know, the school district’s annual operating budget allocation for Mills doesn’t fully cover the costs of all that Mills needs each year. The Mills Annual Fund was created to bridge that funding gap to ensure that we do all we can to support our kids’ learning experience. The Annual Fund supports a wide variety of school needs including technology, Chromebooks, scientific calculators, science lab materials, teacher education, student counseling and clubs, just to name a few.
We Need You
Your contribution, of any amount, will allow such technology to be purchased, directly improving your student's virtual and in-person classroom experience.
Our most sincere thanks for your generosity and support this school year. Best wishes for 2022!
