Dear Families,
These past two weeks have flown by and it is hard to believe that next week we will be entering a new month! Thankfully, the students were able to make it outside a bit between frigid temps and rain. If the real feel is below 19 degrees, we call indoor recess.
Movie Night last Friday night was a hit! Thank you PTO for hosting this event for the Miller School. The PTO will be hosting another event, a Valentines Party on Friday, Feb 2nd.
For those of you who pick up and drop off your children, I'd like to share a friendly reminder that the portion of the Miller School driveway that heads up the hill to the parking lot is a one way driveway. Lately, there have been some cars trying to exit this way, specifically during dismissal time. To avoid any accidents, please exit the parking lot by driving past the building and turning left at the flagpole. During dismissal time, you may have to wait for school vans to turn off their red lights while loading students and/or wait until the vans leave.
Kindly,
Mrs. Newman
