Traffic Update:
Due to an incident at the roundabout, traffic is currently moving one lane at a time. As a result, the MASD bus will be delayed arriving at Stevenson High School.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Mill A School District
Dear Mill A Families,
We are aware of a traffic incident currently blocking Highway 14 at the roundabout. At this time, Mill A School District transportation will continue its normal route through the Home Valley bus stop.
We understand that some families may be unable to meet the bus at Home Valley due to the road closure. We will send out an update with additional information for Home Valley and Stevenson families as soon as possible.
Please know that student safety is our number one priority. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we monitor the situation and communicate updates.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
You may have recently received an email stating that your child’s meal application (free, reduced, or paid) had been approved. This message was sent in error while we were working with our support team to correct a system issue in Qmlativ.
Please disregard that email. Your family’s actual meal eligibility status has not changed. We are working quickly to resolve the error, and accurate eligibility information will be communicated once the system is corrected.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the school office.

I will be resigning as PTO president and we will be looking for new leadership for the upcoming school year and beyond. If you have fresh ideas & are interested in taking on a leadership role in the future, we'd love to hear from you!
If we are unable to find anyone willing to commit to taking on a leadership role, we will discuss options for either shutting PTO down to maintenance level until another option is available, or ending it permanently.
Your voice & perspective is valuable, so please attend if you are able.
