Mill Creek Principal Update
March 2025 Edition
Message from the Principals
Dear Mill Creek families,
We want to thank you for a wonderful Parent-Teacher conference week. We enjoyed seeing all of you in the building and sharing the growth your children are making. Our teachers work incredibly hard to prepare for these meetings, so we appreciate your attendance. We are very proud of our students and all they have accomplished already this school year.
As you know, we used up all of our AMI days last week. We are still waiting to hear what the school board decides in terms of how we will make up the snow day. They will make a decision at the March 10 school board meeting.
We look forward to seeing you this Thursday, March 6 if you have a new Kindergarten student to enroll for the fall. It is critical that you enroll your students this early, as our staffing numbers are dependent on enrollment numbers.
Summer school enrollment also opens this Monday, March 3. Students coming to Kindergarten summer school must first be enrolled for the fall. See enrollment instructions below. You will need to enroll by April 25 in order to be guaranteed a summer school placement for your child, as well as a bus on the first day. Summer school will run June 2-27.
As always, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Have a wonderful week.
Go Cougars!
Amy Rogers & Samantha Adams
