Miller Newsletter
August 25th 2023
Note from Julie
Fletcher Miller Community! The school year is already moving faster than I anticipated. Our first holiday (Labor Day) is just around the corner. As I visit classrooms, I am reminded of how honored I feel to be a part of this community. The kids work hard each day and stretch our learning as adults. Staff have a gift for relating to students and creating innovative solutions to address complex issues. Our goal is to highlight our staff and students with each issue of our newsletter. Please contact us with your questions or concerns. I am happy to connect with you. Here are a few reminders as we start our school year.
- Please use our attendance line if your child will be absent, arrive late or picked up early. We closely track attendance and want to maximize teacher's time with students. When you call the office, we will relay any messages or changes to the student's day to their classroom.
- Please sign your child in and out when you drop them off and pick them up. Again, this helps us track exactly who is in our building.
- If you need to talk with a teacher, therapist, clinic staff member or administrator for an extended conversation (longer than a drop off/pick up exchange of information), please schedule an appointment. We want to attend to your questions and concerns with our full attention.

Committee Members Needed for Future Jeffco Calendars
The district is looking for enthusiastic individuals including Jeffco staff, parents/guardians and community members to join the 2025-2028 Jeffco District Calendar Committee.
This 20-person committee will create a school calendar that considers the minutes students need to be in the classroom, holidays, etc., ensuring a balanced schedule for students. The Calendar Committee will work together to understand school calendar policies and state laws to define the three-year calendar.
Committee members will attend three 2-hour meetings, scheduled between February - April 2024. If interested or if you know someone who would be a good fit, please complete the sign-up form by Friday, September 8.
Contact - Heidi Williams
Important Reminders
Please call the school attendance line (303.982.7195) if your child will be absent, late or leaving early. This allows us to adjust building support and account for all students each day. Relaying your child's absence through transportation, classroom staff or the clinic staff does not allow for timely and consistent communication.
All visitors must enter the building using the front entrance and check in at the front office before visiting classrooms or attending meetings. Thanks for keeping our school community safe!
