Survey from Mills--We Really Want to Hear from YOU about Family Communication--Students Can Win Amazon Gift Cards! |
|
Dear Vikings,
We are delighted that Mills High School has an opportunity to support Project SHINE for Families (Support, Help, Inspiration, Nurturance, Encouragement), a research study conducted and funded by the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH). The goal of the study is to examine what relational and cultural factors may contribute to or are protective against teen distress and difficulties with emotional coping. This study offers an opportunity to learn about how to strengthen family communication and relationships to support the well-being and mental health of teens and their families, especially in these challenging times.
The study is recruiting students at Mills High School and parents/primary caretakers of students to complete confidential surveys that ask about these topics, including family communication styles, mental health, and help-seeking. Results of this study will help Mills directly so we can better understand these processes and design workshops, programs and services that can support families and bridge communication difficulties. We are asking parents/caregivers to take a 15-20 minute confidential survey and students to complete a 30-minute survey. There will also be an opportunity to participate in focus groups later in April (stay tuned for more info).
Once you’ve signed consent for you and your student, a survey will be sent to you. Thank you for your participation!

Sincerely,
Pamela Duszynski

On Tuesday, April 12th, 5 - 7 p.m., students/parents/guardians/staff are invited to attend our 2nd "Stay in the Bay with $100k" event.
This is an opportunity to network with employers, community colleges, union trades, apprenticeship and career training programs, and much more. The goal of this event is to educate and give awareness of all the post-high school pathways available to our students. This is a great opportunity to meet and connect with individuals who can help you learn about the high-paying careers in our area that do not require a four-year degree to get started on. Refreshments and free swag will be provided to attendees.
This district-wide event will be held at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center right next to San Mateo High School. There are posters and flyers posted around campus and more communications are to come! For more information, please see Ms. Woolsey or Ms. Murtagh in the Career Center.

Please share your thoughts on supporting SMUHSD students by taking our Thoughtexchange |
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students:
Like all school districts in California, the San Mateo Union High School District is required to provide a yearly update on our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) - a three-year plan intended to articulate strategic goals and actions intended to achieve the District’s Equity Vision and Mission. As part of the review process, we seek community and family input on how SMUHSD is doing. The LCAP identifies four priority areas which include; authentic relationships, safe and connected communities, engaging, rigorous and relevant learning for every student and supporting and empowering staff. As part of our stakeholder engagement, we invite you to participate in our Thoughtexchange to share your thoughts on:
What are the most important things our District needs to think about in order to support all students?
Participating in the Thoughtexchange takes just a few minutes and allows you to offer candid, confidential feedback as well as rate the thoughts others have shared. Please complete the Thoughtexchange by Friday, April 29.
Additionally, members of the public may comment at our June 9 Board meeting when staff provides an update about the LCAP to the Board. The revised 2022-24 LCAP and budget will be presented to the Board for approval at their June 23 meeting. Full agendas and zoom login information for these meetings will be posted on our website.
Thank you for your interest in supporting student success.
Sincerely,
Julia Kempkey, Ed.D.
Assistant Superintendent, Curriculum and Instruction
