First Day of School

Welcome to the first day of the new school year! September 2 is a half day for students in grades 1 - 5. On this day, please arrive and line up at the same door you used last school year. You will return to your old classroom for the first part of the day, and then meet your new grade group teachers before you are dismissed at 11:00. For this first week of school you do not need our new school supplies. Please bring some of your old items, such as a pencil, something to colour with and an old notebook or journal. If you still have your scissors, bring those too.

If you are new to McMillan, please approach one of the staff in the school yard before the bell to find out what door you need to line up at.  The door you enter is the door you will be dismissed from.

After the first day, you will be lining up at your grade group door for the remainder of the week. These doors will be clearly marked, but you can ask a staff member for help if you aren't sure where to go. You will not know who your teacher for the year will be until Friday, September 5. Monday, September 8 you will know which classroom is yours and where you will need to line up in the morning.

Kindergarten Families, you should have received a reminder email regarding your kindergarten interviews and small group gradual entry schedule. Please contact the school if you have any questions.

We are looking forward to a great school year!
