We hope everyone had a wonderful summer and that we're all ready for the first day of school! Whether you are new or returning to Mills, we are so happy to have you with us this year.

The Mills PTA is a key part of the school. PTA funds help pay for copier fees, staff appreciation events, landscaping, movie nights, dances, and so much more. We encourage everyone to join the PTA and to be an active part of this wonderful organization whose only purpose is to make our school even more amazing than it already is. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Here's to a great start of the 2019-2020 school year!

PTA is focused on making child’s potential a reality by strengthening education and taking a comprehensive approach to community success. And we know there is no commYOUnity without YOU - our members, our business leaders, our decision-makers. It’s not just Moms and Dads who can join PTA but Grandparents are welcome too. All of you are creating a valued partnership between family, educators, and children. Being part of the PTA connects families and schools and allows parents to help make the school better. Whether you are just a member, a volunteer, a committee head or a board member - we welcome your ideas and look forward to having YOU as a member! Volunteer where you want, when you can or even just provide financial support. We are hoping to reach a goal of 440 members!
