Hello Millikan Community,

The school year is progressing very well as we near the end of the second week. The students have all been assigned classes and they are doing an excellent job of getting to class on time. The only problem that we are running into is during the first period of the day. The students are still running to class in order to be on time. Please help our students plan their mornings better so that they are able to arrive at school with plenty of time to spare. Remember that traffic in front of the school is horrendous in the morning.

All of our students have been very good about wearing their uniform on a daily basis. We are very pleased about the enforcement of the dress code. I would like to point out two small issues that we are currently addressing. Firstly, all exposed undergarments must be white. This includes tee shirts that are worn under the collared shirts. Secondly, all outer clothing must be solid navy blue, white or yellow. The only logo that is allowed on campus is a Millikan logo. There was a mistake in the summer mailer uniform dress code flyer, which stated that outer clothing will be allowed in solid khaki. Millikan will honor that uniform flyer and khaki outer clothing will be allowed this school year.

We have finally been able to get the majority of our students their identification cards. These cards must be worn above the waist and they should not be removed while the student is on campus. I have attached a note regarding the ID cards.

I also wanted to remind the parents that our daily bulletin is posted on-line. You can find the bulletin under the School Information icon of the Millikan High School webpage at http://www3.lbusd.k12.ca.us:81/millikan .

The Ram Varsity Football team chalked up their first victory last Friday against Warren High School. I was very impressed with our RAM football team’s skill on the field. Come out and support our RAMS at their second home game this Friday as they take the field against Fountain Valley High School. The game will start at 7:00 P.M.

All my best,

Jeff
