Greetings!

1. We were fortunate to get some much needed rain this week, and with that came cooler temps! We go outside every possible day, so please be sure to send your children in appropriate outer wear, labeled with their name!

2. Next Wednesday is Willowdale night at Godfather's! Thanks for all of your support at our restaurant nights!

3. THANK YOU SO MUCH to our amazing volunteers for making our OLE beautiful for our fall parties, for spending time both planning and with us on our party day, and helping to make Thursday afternoon great!

4. Millard families,

Your opinion matters. Millard Public Schools seeks to have engaged stakeholders to meet its mission. Strategy 1.2 (2018) calls for a survey to determine engagement of all stakeholders (students, families, staff, and community). Please take 10 minutes to provide us with your candid input. Your answers will be anonymous. If you have students in multiple buildings, you will receive a different link from each school. The survey window will remain open through November 15th.
