Hello Millikan Community,

This Wednesday, October 4^th, is the 51^st Back to School Night at Millikan High School. PTSA will have a short meeting at 5:30 PM in the cafeteria and classroom visitations will start at 6:00 PM. There will be food and refreshments available for purchase in the quad from 5:00 PM till 6:00 PM. Our Custodial staff and Grounds Crew have been sprucing up the campus. The teachers and students have been preparing their classrooms. A strong bond and communication between the home and the school is one part of the recipe for our students’ academic success. Please make every effort to come and visit Millikan High School and see the great things that are happening. I have attached a copy of the flyer that will be sent home with your students.

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 .

Today on campus there was a disruption at lunch. The simple story behind this disruption is that trash was thrown during the lunch period and struck one student. Immediately, there were two groups of students squaring off and posturing under the 900 building. There never actually was a fight and the bells were rung five minutes early. The students were sent to class. None of us like this type of activity and we are going to do everything that we can to stem this aggressive behavior. I am sharing this information with the parents, because I know that the stories will be shared tonight across the dinner tables of Long Beach and I wanted to let you all know the facts.

The Ram Varsity Football team will have their first Moore League game against Jordan High School this evening. Come out and support our RAMS tonight as they take the field against Jordan at Jordan High School. The game will start at 7:00 P.M.

All my best,

Jeff
