Cardinal Connection

We had a great week! Congratulations to our girls basketball team on an undefeated season! Great job to our Cheer Club as they represented Milroy very well. Our Spell Bowl team took second place in our division and I'm so proud of their accomplishment! Our Title One Night was a huge success on Tuesday! Our staff really went above and beyond to make this a fun night for our students!

The weather is changing so please make sure your child brings a coat to school. We go outside if the temperature is 32 degrees or higher (depending on the wind chill as well). If your child needs a coat for the winter, please contact the school office.

If you haven't already done so, please take a minute and fill out the survey from the IDOE. This will help our school be recognized as a Family Friendly School for the 3rd year in a row!

"The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) Family Friendly Schools Designation is a

state recognition program for schools that excel in engaging families, communities, and

staff in their students’ education. The purpose of the program is to focus on addressing

the academic, physical, emotional, and social needs of students while providing

necessary resources and fostering the active involvement of families within the school

and community." Please help us to receive this recognition again this year by filling out this quick survey. https://www.jotform.com/241764351542960

Hey parents! Looking for after school care or something for the kids to do after school? The Milroy Boys & Girls Club is here for you! We have programs like Healthy Habits, VR, Life Skills, and Workforce and Development that we do everyday!

Also, a note from Mr. Jameson:

"There will be no "guest bus passes" for any students on Rush County School buses. Students will not be allowed to take friends home with them on the bus for a party or sleepover."

Please talk with your child about bus safety and how it is important to sit in the seat properly, keep hands and feet inside the aisle, and to follow the expectations we have in place. I've explained to all students that the bus driver's job is to get them to and from school safely. However, they need to do their job as well and follow the rules.

Students are to only ride the bus assigned to him/her. We are not able to allow students to "bus hop" and ride home with friends, etc. Thanks for your help with this.
