Principal's Corner
As we move into spring, the weather can be a bit unpredictable! Please make sure your child dresses in layers so they can stay comfortable throughout the day. Mornings can be chilly, but by afternoon it can warm up, so a light jacket or sweater that can be removed is a great option.
I’m also thrilled to announce that thanks to your support, our new playground is up and running! A huge thank you to our community for approving the school bond to make this happen, and to our PTA for providing additional equipment. The students are already having a blast on the new swings, slides, and climbing structures!
As state testing approaches, I want to remind everyone how important regular attendance is. Every school day counts, and being present makes a big impact on your child’s learning. Let’s make sure our students are here and ready to do their best during the OSTP tests.
Thank you again for your continued support. We’re looking forward to a great spring semester!
Go Millers!

Regular school attendance is key to academic success. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), consistent attendance is closely linked to better academic performance. Students who miss school often struggle to keep up, leading to gaps in learning. Attending school regularly helps students stay engaged, retain information, and build important skills like responsibility.
