Welcome to McMillan!
Welcome to a new year at McMillan Junior High! I am very excited about all of the great things that will be happening here next year. Our teachers and staff have been working hard all summer getting ready to provide interesting and engaging activities for our students to complete and we are all working hard to make sure all of our students achieve success this new school year.
2007-08 was a very successful year for the Marauders. Our athletic teams performed exceptionally well, while our Choir, Theater Arts, Math Counts, Knowledge Masters and all of the other groups represented McMillan in a positive way and made us all proud. Our Symphonic Band has made Wylie ISD history by being the first middle level band to compete at the state level by being one of the fourteen middle school bands selected from around the state to compete for top honors. Most importantly, our students last year received the highest scores on the TAKS tests that we’ve ever had at this school since it opened five years ago. It was a fantastic year.
2008-09 is going to be even a greater year. We have been hearing great things about the seventh graders from everyone at Davis Intermediate School, and our eighth graders are more than ready to step into their leadership roles. Our students, teachers and staff are some of the best in the state and I know we are going to have great success this school year.
I hope you find this web site helpful with accurate and important information. Please let us know what you think and offer any ideas or advice in making this tool for communication more efficient. Again, let’s make the 2008-09 school year the best we’ve ever had!

Walking to School
Walkers should cross Park Blvd. They can cross at Westgate Way with the crossing guard and at the bus lane in the afternoon only with the help of Mr. Blank when he's on duty. At no time should they cross anywhere along Park and they should never cross at the four way stop at Blocton and the entrance to the Davis and McMillan parking lots. They should walk from McMillan toward Davis using the front sidewalk by the buildings. They shouldn't be using the sidewalk adjacent to Park. Click here for details on getting to and from school.
Absent Work
Perhaps your child has missed school, and you are wondering how to collect absent work. At McMillan Junior High, parents may request work by contacting Angie Wheeldon after their child has missed three or more consecutive days of school. To pick-up your child's work (after 2:30 p.m.), parents must call before 9 a.m. and place a request with Angie Wheeldon.
Students who miss one or two days may collect work upon returning to school.
Examples:
Mary misses Monday, September 17th. She will collect her missed work from all classes when she returns September 18th.
Jerry misses Monday , September 17th and Tuesday, September 18th. He will collect his missed work from all classes when he returns September 19th.
Tim misses Monday, September 17th, Tuesday, September 18th and Wednesday September 19th. A parent may call Angie Wheeldon to place a request to collect the work from his teachers.
Students receive the number of days absent, plus one additional day to make-up any absent work.
