Family Communication

Happy Friday, Mustang families! As we wrap up the week, I want to extend my gratitude to you all for trusting us with your student(s) every day! We have really enjoyed the school year with them so far and look forward to the months ahead.

We celebrated Miller Excellence at the School Board meeting this past Thursday, recognizing some of our amazing Miller Mustang students and teacher Mrs. Baird! It's always exciting to share the amazing things happening at Miller with our organization's leadership team. Thank you to our teachers and families who were in attendance to celebrate alongside us.

Looking ahead to December, I want to formally invite you to join us for Coffee with the Principal, featuring our special guest and District Superintendent, Mr. Andy McGuire on December 11th. Please join us in person for some coffee and chatting with our organization's leadership.

Miller Elementary will be starting a group for children of military families run by our school social work intern Miss Payton. The group will start when students get back from Thanksgiving break. If you would like more information, please reach out to Miss Payton at [email protected].

Our November attendance challenge is going strong! Students are having a blast building their classroom turkeys with colorful feathers as they compete to earn a special lunch ticket for next Friday. As the holidays approach and families begin planning for gatherings and getaways, please remember that consistent school attendance is vital. Being in class every day helps students feel included in our school community and ensures they stay on track with their learning. Thank you for helping your student show up, stay connected, and finish the month strong!

And... we did it again! Miller Elementary was recognized for their increase in Average Daily Attendance for the month of October! In comparison to last year, we made almost 2% growth. What we love about this is not only seeing our students every day, but celebrating all of the growth and progress we continue to make by being at school each day. Thank you, families, for continuing to partner with your students' education!

Come join us on Tuesday, 11/17, after school in room 19 to help plan our upcoming winter festival.

Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grade Lunch and Learn on the Lawn is scheduled for Friday, December 4th. Please scan our QR code and get your visitor badge starting at 11:30. We will be delivering a quick presentation about the RDRS Screener that all Kindergarten through 2nd grade students participate in. We will also be asking families to complete a quick survey as we move forward with our community school planning year. Your thoughts and participation are incredibly valuable, and we look forward to seeing you at the event! Please see your Rooms app for the detailed flyer from your Kinder, first, or second grade teacher.
