ATLAS Summative LEVEL UP - Part 2
160 scholars who LEVELED UP and met their target growth in 2 or more of the tested areas (ELA, Math, Science) and/or maintained their Level 4 status were treated to a day at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, AR. A wonderful time and occasion. Our Comets worked hard and did their best. We salute and celebrate them!
Way to LEVEL UP Comets! We are proud of you!!!

The names of the scholars who met their target growth in three of the tested areas were put in a drawing to win one of our Summative prizes. Parents and guardians whose scholar was present for each day of testing were also entered into drawing. Here are some pictures of the winners.

Late last month we had a wonderful and inspiring Parent Meeting at Mills Middle. Our instructional coaches shared our school's ATLAS Summative Data and parents were able to look up their child's data tracking their progress from ATLAS Interim I, II and finally the Summative. Everyone attending received books for summer reading and practice. There will be no summer slide at Comet Nation!
Thank you parents and guardians for your support in meeting the personalized academic and social needs of all of our scholars and preparing them for success. #thebestisyettocome #millsmiddleschoolcomets #summerreading
Students who plan to try out must have a completed physical on file before they can participate. If a student needs a physical form, coaches and the front office have forms available.
Students must also have their own ride home and must be picked up immediately after tryouts. Students need to wear proper athletic shoes and athletic clothes. They also need to bring knee pads for tryouts.
If you have any questions, please contact Coach Theobald or Coach West.
