Pick Up: Monday, Tuesday, Friday: 3:00 - 3:15 pm, Tuesday, Thursday: 2:00 - 2:15 pm.
Front of School
Please do not U-Turn or Double Park in front of the school from either side of the street. The primary area for drop-off/pick-up in front is the parking lot west of the school building. We have new signs to reinforce this rule. If you must use the front of the school, please pull up as far as you can on the curb so cars can pull behind you (like a taxi line). If you park across the street, please get out of your car and walk your student safely across the street.
Back of School
Drop-offs and Pick-Ups are no longer permitted in the Millbrae Recreation Center Parking Lot. To relieve congestion in the lot, we recommend that students be dropped off at the drop-off zones off of Richmond Drive in front of the district office. These designated areas are designed to handle the volume of traffic and are equipped with safety measures to protect all students.
Classroom Supply Lists:
Supply lists are handed out by individual teachers during the first week of school. Students should bring a pencil or pen and a water bottle the first day. Students will have some time to get supplies for their classes.
Cell Phone / Smart Device
We are a phone free school. Students will be provided with a pouch to put their devices in for the duration of the school day. Students will keep these pouches in their backpack. Students who need to contact home may use the phone in the office during brunch or lunch.
Picture Day
We will have a school wide picture day on Tuesday, August 19. Students will take their photo during their PE class. You can order pictures by clicking here:

Mrs. Erin Zlatunich
Principal
Taylor Middle School
I am honored to serve as Principal of Taylor Middle School, where we are home to approximately 750 amazing students. I love working in education and am deeply committed to creating opportunities for all students to be successful academically, socially, and emotionally. Entering my 20th year in the district, and my fifth year in administration here, the Millbrae community holds a special place in my heart. I grew up here, attended Meadows and Taylor, and have the privilege of giving back to the place that shaped me.
We are incredibly fortunate to be part of such a supportive and engaged community. When I’m not at school, I enjoy spending time with my four boys and our two dogs, tending to the garden, hiking, and working out.

In his free time he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children. Mr. Nichols and his wife take in many dance recitals, baseball games, and drama performances that his children participate in. When he is not watching his children’s sporting events and performances, he enjoys Disney vacations, all Marvel movies and TV shows, and watching the 49ers win on Sundays during football season.
