Miller Elementary Weekly Update
It's the LAST WEEK of the 2025-2026 School Year!
Hello Miller Families!
We have officially made it to the final week of the 2025–2026 school year! It has been an absolute honor to watch your children learn, grow, and thrive throughout the past year. Seeing them run into the building each morning with big smiles and endless excitement has been the best part of our days. We hope you’ll take a moment to look back and celebrate how much they’ve grown socially, emotionally, and academically, we are incredibly proud of every single one of them.
Thank you so much for your incredible partnership in making this one of our best years yet. Saying goodbye as the final buses and cars pull away next week will definitely bring a few tears! Keep an eye out for one last newsletter from me after our end-of-year festivities, packed with fun photos from the busy week ahead. After that, Ms. Stewart at Craddock and I will send out periodic updates over the summer to help you get ready for the 2026–2027 school year!

Thank you so much to all the families who were able to attend our Incoming 1st Grade Parent Orientation last evening! It was standing room only, so your patience was extra appreciated!
I hope you walked away not only with some knowledge about what 1st grade will be like, but more importantly some comfort about all that's to come with the transition!

In all our Elementary Buildings, we utilize a Google Form to report attendance, late arrival, early dismissal, and change of transportation such as switching from a bus rider to office pick-up!
To report an absence or change your child to a car rider or bus rider, please click the button below or scan the QR code magnet that we will pass out at Open House. This can be done from any device and your reply will be sent immediately to our secretary, Mrs. Toler.
If your child will be absent, you will use this form to report the absence along with the reason for the absence. We are working really hard to reduce the amount of phone calls, emails, or notes that we receive. We ask that you reserve those modes of communication for emergencies only. Thank you in advance for your help and let us know if you have any questions at all!
