From the Curriculum Office…
Registration is complete!
All course requests have been entered into our computer system. During the first week of May you should have received a
letter with course listings. The courses displayed on the bottom of this letter are those we have listed in our scheduling
system for the 2013-2014 school year. Please verify that the courses you and your student requested were keyed into our
computer system correctly. If you believe a data transcription error was made, send an e-mail to
[email protected]. In your request, please include your student’s name, student number and what you
believe should be corrected.
What if I have changed my mind about a class I registered to take?
Students will have the opportunity to participate in a process referred to as Drop/Add.
What is Drop/Add?
DROP/ADD is an opportunity for students to request to drop a course and add another.
What do I do if I am interested in Drop/Add?
Fill out the application that will be made available soon and bring it with you to Mill Creek High School Curriculum Office
on Thursday, July 25th from 9:00am – 12:00pm (Face to Face)
How will the process work?
Determine if the class you would like to ADD is available. If yes, come to the curriculum office on the date above and
submit your application. On July 25th you will submit your request to a staff member and wait while the change is
made. Please plan for at least 2 hours from start to finish depending on the length of the line. You will receive an
authorization ticket that verifies that one class has been added and one class has been dropped. Drop/Add is a first come,
first serve basis. There are no guarantees that the classes you want will be available when you make your request.
This is the only opportunity in which students will be permitted to make a schedule change request. Please refer to the
Curriculum & Instruction page of Mill Creek’s website if you have questions regarding our schedule change policy.
When will we receive a schedule with the teachers and the room locations?
A copy of your student’s schedule complete with class periods, teacher names, and classroom locations will be available on
Orientation Day, which will be held on Friday, August 2nd. Please plan to come to Mill Creek anytime from 7:30am 12:00pm. On this day you are encouraged to pick up your schedule from your ACT teacher, walk throughout the
building to locate classes, and meet with your teachers.
Is there anything special I need to do prior to coming to Orientation on August 2nd?
Yes! Be sure that you are registered for a My Payments Plus account. Registration for this service is simple and userfriendly. You can create an account anytime at www.MyPaymentsPlus.com. Be sure to have your child’s student ID
number when creating the account. For your convenience, the 2013-2014 orientation paperwork and required school
forms will be available online for you to complete prior to arrival on August 2nd. Additionally, you will have the ability
to pay fees (lockers, junior dues, senior dues, parking, PSAT testing), make supply contributions, join PTSA, purchase
Senior Ads for the yearbook and purchase athletic season passes through the My Payments Plus Program as well.
NOTE: You can begin to access forms or make payments to our 2013 Meal Pay Orientation Program anytime after July
20th.
Moving this summer?
If yes, please notify us as soon as possible so we can update your change of address. You will need to notify our registrar,
Wanda Jackson, at 678-714-5857.
Mr. Lane had the honor of attending the Head Custodian Appreciation Breakfast with Lidia
Beganovic. In case you did not know this, Lidia is one of the most respected Head Custodians
in the county as witnessed by the picture included of her with all of her awards; 6 consecutive
years as Head Custodian of the Year, and 9 consecutive years for Mill Creek HS
receiving the Custodial Excellence Award.
If you see Lidia or any of her staff, please take a moment to thank them for all of
their hard work, they really do a tremendous job of keeping our school clean.
