Dear Millbridge Families,

As the parent-teacher conference days commence, I hope that you had the opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher regarding their academic and behavioral progress so far this school year. Conferences are an important component to ensure that the school and the home work together to maximize your child’s full potential. I encourage you to stay in close communication with your child’s teacher and, most importantly, to stay involved in their education. Whether through a phone call, an email, or a note, Millbridge staff is ready to help.

Our Halloween parade was a HUGE turnout this year. Thank you all that showed up to support our little learners. November is a time intended for giving thanks. Please ask your child what they are doing to support this important character trait. How are they showing thankfulness and appreciation? We are very fortunate to have a school community with a nurturing staff, happy students, and caring parents. Thank you to our PTO that created the Paw Wishes that some of you may have taken during conferences for donations for your child's classroom. If you are a second grade parent they are doing a wonderful project for Thanksgiving and are in need of colored sharpie markers. Take a moment to create a note or card for your child's teacher. The little things mean so much.

Plase be reminded we do NOT have school November 7th-8th, and November 27th is a single session day which means students are dismissed at 1:00. Monday is Veteran's Day and we will be honoring and celebrating by wearing red, white, and blue.

Best,

Stacy Murphy

Principal

Please join us here at Millbridge, with the Knights of Columbus, to support those in need by donating non-perishable foods and canned goods. Let's keep a strong Millbridge tradition going! There will be a prize for the class in each grade level that collects the most.

Nearly 100 parents attended the Parent Math Info Night in October. If you were unable to attend in person, a recorded, webinar-style version of the presentation is now available. It’s about 23 minutes, and it includes an overview of the program, explains the parts of a typical daily math lesson, and demonstrates how to access online resources to support your children’s math learning. The enVision Math page on the district website includes a link to view the recorded Parent Info Night webinar, as well as links to other helpful resources.

Here is a link to the enVision family resource pages for each grade level, K-5. https://www.delranschools.org/curriculum/district_supervisors/MaryJoHutchinson/en_vision_math_k-5

If you are dropping your child off, please enter the parking lot closest to the cafeteria. This is the carpool line. Staff will direct you around and assist your child out of the car. It is extremely helpful to have your child in the back on the passenger side for exit. A staff member will open the car door when it is safe for exit. There will be staff members to assist in crossing and navigating the hallways to help find classrooms.

HERE is an important link from our counselors regarding some tips about promoting kindness.
