Unfortunately, due to no power we will have to cancel School today.

Hey Bobcat/Owl Families,
The first batch of orders has arrived at the school; We will send them home with students today!
We are offering Bobcat/Owl Swag again this year if you would like to place an order. The link is MAS: https://millaschool2025.itemorder.com/ PCIA: https://pacificcrestinnovationacademy2025.itemorder.com/
We would like to keep these stores open for February, which would mean that they would be available to pick up sometime in March at the front office.


Well, Krispy Kreme contacted us and said they were unable to fulfill our order for this Friday. We have confirmed a new date with them for Thursday, February 27, 2025. We are SO sorry for the inconvenience!


Snow is gone!! Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are a go for Friday, February 21, 2025. Please let us know if you want to pre-order, please do so by the end of school tomorrow.


UPDATE: MASD will be closed on Thursday, February 13th due to inclement weather.
Out of an abundance of caution, and with respect for the transportation need of MASD families we will be closed today based on the timeline of the winter storm event that is predicted to arrive this morning and last throughout the day.

MASD - Late Start Thursday, February 13th.
Due to inclement weather, the Mill A School District will be on a Late Start schedule on Thursday, 2/13. All classes will start at 10 a.m. The bus will be on Snow Route (No Little Rock Creek Road)

We are monitoring the weather forecast, and snow, ice, and freezing rain are possible tomorrow and Friday. If we decide to delay the start of school or close for the day, we will let you know as soon as possible.
MASD is committed to keeping students and staff safe and making the most informed decisions about weather-related closures.

UPDATE: Due to the possibility of freezing weather and for the safety of everyone, the PCIA Senior Parents Krispy Kreme Doughnuts fundraiser has been moved to next Friday, February 21st. Sorry for any inconvenience, but you all have an additional week to place an order to help support our seniors.


MASD is on a regular start today.
Road conditions, as well as family vehicles, differ across our district. During winter months when road conditions can be challenging, families are encouraged to use their best safety judgment to determine their comfort level with transporting their student to school in inclement weather. If your student will be late or absent please call the office. 509-538-2700
AM Bus - no Little Rock Creek Road service

Mill A School District will have a late start tomorrow, Thursday, February 6th. All classes will start at 10 a.m.

Two PCIA students and one MAS student traveled to Vancouver this past weekend to compete at the Regional High School Chess Championships. PCIA Senior Blake VanSickle had a remarkable competition and placed 6th overall. This was Blake's third year competing in this competition. PCIA Senior Jordan Wickersham and MAS 8th grader Derek Krieger were also successful in their first high school chess competition. Congratulations to all of the competitors!
Blake says it was an enjoyable experience and everyone had a good time. He credits pattern recognition and visualization as key factors of being successful at chess.
The PCIA Chess Club is led by PCIA Instructor, Mr. Jim Harrison. We are so glad our students have this great opportunity at MASD.
