Back to School Night is Thursday, September 10th |
Mills High School warmly invites you to our Back-to-School Night 2020. This year, we will launch our Back-to-School Night activities on Thursday, September 10th. At 6:30, the Mills administration will present a live webinar followed by an opportunity for you to visit the classrooms of your students via Canvas, our learning management system. Teachers will have pre-recorded videos posted on each individual Canvas homepage introducing themselves and telling you about each course. To follow up with a teacher in person, we recommend that you contact the teacher and set an appointment during office hours following the evening.
In order to access the Canvas homepage for each teacher on your student’s schedule, you will need to have set-up a Parent Observer Account in Canvas. Please see this link for instructions on how to create a parent observer account. If you need assistance, please contact our Main Office at 650-558-2599. Videos created by teachers for Back-to-School Night posted on the Canvas homepage of each classroom will be available to view for the duration of the semester.

Parent Volunteer Opportunity |
Are you looking for a way to volunteer and support our teachers and staff during this new era of distance learning? Look no further! Our MHS PTA is forming a volunteer "help desk" to provide technology support to our teachers and staff. We're looking for volunteers from our Viking parent community who are comfortable trouble-shooting and providing technology assistance, especially with Zoom and other video conference and eLearning technology.
If you are able to provide support, please complete the MHS Parent Technology Volunteers form. We appreciate your help in providing a strong start to this uniquely challenging school year!

The 2020 Back-to-School List for Teens’ Emotional Well-Being
Forget backpacks and binders. Here are the essentials teenagers will need for the strange school year ahead.
In a sea of Covid confusion, this seems certain: The pandemic will disrupt school this fall. But learning from home will reduce students’ exposure to the ordinary magic that happens at school. Can parents help compensate for what will necessarily be lost? Yes.
