It has been very cold this week (as you know!). Below is a "cold weather reminder" !
Winter Weather Clothing: Please encourage your student to wear appropriate clothing to school. Have them bring a hat and gloves just in case the weather changes during the day! If there is snow on the ground, elementary students need to wear snow pants and boots in order to play in the snow. If you are in need of any of these items, please reach out to our counselors, Brielle Chadsey at chadseyb@holliston.k12.ma.us or Erin Shea at sheae@holliston.k12.ma.us.
Arrival: A reminder that staff begin monitoring arrival beginning at 7:10am and we ask that students are not dropped off prior to 7:10am as they will be left unattended. We also do not want students waiting outside unattended in the cold.

The January theme at Miller School is "Be Your Best Self" which connects well to the the start of 2025 and also to the focus for our RULER & RISE lessons in January, too!
Students will be identifying 4 or 5 words that describe their "best self" and they'll be learning how to visualize their best self when they face challenges.
This week our student advisory council members watched the video below to learn more about "best self" and we're sharing it with you so you can view it, too!
We will share more details about our theme when we return from winter break.
Thank you to all volunteers who have already signed up to support Miller's Library Lunch. There are still a few more openings available, so if you are able, we would greatly appreciate your participation!
Miller School is seeking volunteers to supervise a “Library Lunch” option for students who are interested in reading in a quiet spot after they finish their lunch. We are seeking volunteers on the identified days below to get us to February Break. Volunteers are needed from 10:20am-11:35am.
Important Information for Volunteers:
We need 2 Volunteers to supervise library lunch at a time.
Volunteers will greet the students in the cafe and walk them to the multipurpose room. Please note that lbrary lunches that take place on Wednesdays will begin in the hallway outside of the cafeteria and the last scheduled group will be in the multipurpose room.
Volunteers should monitor the lunchtime and be sure students are ready to go to class at the end of their scheduled time.
All volunteers must have an active CORI on file.
Please review the schedule below and click here to sign up.
