Hello Vikings,
We are looking forward to see you this week at the drive through Registration & Materials Pickup. We’ve been working hard to assemble boxes, check out books and Chromebooks, empty lockers, and get ready for the best opening of school we can give you online.
Registration and materials pickup dates:
August 11th: 9th Grade
August 12th: 10th Grade
August 13th: 11th Grade
August 14th: 12th Grade
Map for drive through:
Don’t have a car, and just picking up a Chromebook? Walk up the driveway at the corner of Murchison and Sequoia and wait at the Help Station for your Chromebook box.
Step by Step Instructions:
- Before leaving home, write or print out your first and last name on a piece of 8 ½ x 11 inch paper and be ready to place in the windshield of your car so we can tell who you are!
- Arrive at Mills at the time of your appointment.
- Drive up Murchison past Mills and turn right onto Sequoia, then turn right into the student parking lot at the far driveway, close to the baseball field.
- Wait in driveway for your turn to get your photo taken at the first station. When it’s your turn for a photo, lower mask, then replace immediately.
- Turn right to your assigned box pickup station (cars will be directed to either side of the pickup station).
- Stop, remain in the car, then open the trunk or unlock the back doors so Book Boxes can be placed in your car by staff.
- Staff will indicate if you have completed your Data Confirmation for the District - if you have not, you will need to do so as soon as possible.
- Pull forward then turn right to reach exit driveway.
- If you need help with your data confirmation or don’t have the ability to make an appointment to meet with your counselor without help, detour to the driveway near the cafeteria and wait for a staff member to indicate you can roll your window down.
Please note: no one will be able to leave their car during this process, nor will you be able to roll down your window without a mask that covers your mouth and nose the entire time. We are taking every precaution we can to keep you, your families, and our staff safe.
