We had a great first week of school! Please remind students that hats, hoods, cell phones, sunglasses, and headphones are prohibited at Milwood during school hours.

NWEA testing will begin this week (ELA and Math). Be sure you are encouraging your student to do their very best. This information will be used to help teachers design lessons to best meet our students' needs.

Every school day counts in a child's academic life...

A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn. In this era of increased accountability for states, districts, and schools, the connection between student attendance and learning is being studied more than ever before. As a result, education agencies are asked with increasing frequency to report attendance data in a standard manner to allow comparisons across organizations and jurisdictions.

The primary rationale for high-quality attendance data is the relationship between student attendance and student achievement.

Parents, remember to use PowerSchool to monitor your child's grades and attendance. If you have any questions or concerns please give us a call at 269-337-0670.

It is important for all students to arrive to school and class on time every day. Remind students to bring their charged Chromebook every day.

We are committed to ensuring that the students are provided with a safe and orderly academic environment, where learning is the primary focus of our students.
