MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
The first half of our first quarter went by before our eyes! Students spent time learning our procedures and how to truly be a Mustang that will RIDE together to success. As we finish this quarter it is very important to remind our students why they come to school each day. Being at school is important but it is so important to be an active part of your classroom and learning. Raising hands to answer questions even when you may be wrong, allows our students to make mistakes and truly learn what they need. We appreciate all of our Miller Mustang parents, family and community support and look forward to meeting with you in parent teacher conferences, seeing the mustang pRIDE in spirit week, and all of the adventures to come throughout the year!

Tucson Unified is rolling out a new program to help any of our district families who may be dealing with housing insecurity. If any TUSD family finds themselves in a position where their house is unavailable, they can now apply for Emergency Housing Support (EHS).
The EHS program can be used by TUSD families once per school year and it will provide a four-day/three-night stay at one of the five EHS hotel partners. Families may also receive gas cards and internet connection. Incidentals and/or additional stay will be the responsibility of the TUSD family.
For additional information or to engage, please reach out to TUSD School Safety Dispatch at 520-584-7676.
