Dear Millbridge Families,

As we near the end of September and the third full week of school, it is wonderful to see all the children following our Bear Paws. Today, we celebrated our Caring Cubs. Please continue to support our Bear Paw language of Caring, Responsible, Respectful, and Helpful. We are excited to have a special lunch with those cubs on Monday.

As we talk about routines and the students, we would like to thank the parents for following our arrival and dismissal procedures. If you are dropping your child off, it is imperative that the carpool line is utilized. Please remember, if you are picking up your children to be here by 3:35. It is extremely important if your child is on the bus that an adult is at the stop. If an adult is not at the stop, children will be brought back to school for safety reasons.

If you have not yet filled out the questions and forms on parent portal, please do so. If you need any help, please contact the main office.

Thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of nurturing and shaping the minds of your most precious treasures.

Best,

Stacy Murphy

Principal

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.
