We will be starting Power Hour Club for all Miller School students who are interested in staying after school to work on their classwork, projects, homework or other academic areas where they may need additional review of the concepts.

Students should bring unfinished classwork, homework, projects or a reading book to Power Hour each week. This club will be offered in two 9-week sessions. Session 1 will be held on Tuesdays from September 24th through November 26th. Session 2 will be held on Tuesdays from January 7th through March 11th. Each session will accommodate up to 20 students and will be assigned on a first-come-first-serve basis. We will hold the sessions in the Miller School Library.

The focus of this club will be to provide students with support and extra review in targeted areas while having access to school resources and staff. Students will be allowed to work cooperatively when appropriate and their classroom teachers will be consulted as needed for clarification. Power Hour will be supervised by two of our classroom assistants; Cathy Reid and Kerry Baker, and it will be held in the Miller School Library.

There is no fee for this club, however, transportation home is the parent’s responsibility and students must be picked up no later than 2:45 p.m. in the Miller Loop. Please note that due to allergies, students will not be allowed to have a snack.

Enrollment will continue until all sessions are full.

Please complete the permission slip below to express interest.

This year we have identified a monthly theme for each month that unites our community and for August/September the theme is "Welcome In". We are committed to creating a welcoming school community at Miller School and we will be prioritizing relationship building with students, family and staff. We would love to hear how this theme is experienced by your students and your family this month. Please share using this form (linked here) or email Brenda at mauraob@holliston.k12.ma.us.

Laps at Lunch is a program that provides Miller school students with an opportunity to move their bodies, connect with friends, and relieve stress during their lunch period. This program is supported by the Miller School administration and the District Wellness Council, and to be successful, the program needs parents to support it! Laps at Lunch is a fun way to volunteer and get involved with the school community!

Let’s come together as a community and show our children that we care about their health and wellness! We will begin Laps at Lunch on identified days beginning September 11, 2024. Volunteers are needed from 10:20am-11:35am. All volunteers must have an active CORI on file. Please click here to sign up!

Please note: Review the lunch schedule below before signing up to be sure you are volunteering for the lunch your student(s) will have Laps! Days vary by class due to scheduling needs.
