First Day of School for 2016-2017: Tuesday, August 9, 2016

Hello Miller Parents,
Our second round of ISTEP testing for all 3rd & 4th graders ends May 6, 2016. The staff and students have worked very hard!
Can you believe there are only 14 days of school left? Those 14 days are packed with fun and educational programs for your child. Please see the reverse side for our May calendar. We hope to see you and your family at our May Family Fun Event, PTO Meeting, and LAST Family Dinner on May 10. All Miller families are welcome!
We are all excited that summer is around the corner but still need to remember Miller School expectations: responsible, respectful and safe behavior is needed through the very last day of school.
I hope your family gets to spend some relaxing time together this summer. I look forward to seeing students rested and refreshed on August 9, 2016 for a new school year. Enjoy your summer!
Working together,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Debbie Patterson, Principal
Working together,
Debbie Patterson, Principal
