The Red Mill Reader

Where has the time gone?! It's hard to believe we are already almost a full month into the school year! We held our PBIS kick-off assembly, held two Back-to-School Nights, celebrated our students return to school and so much more.

This coming month, we have multiple fun-filled opportunities and events for our students and school community. Please take a moment to look through the information below to see everything that we have in store. We hope to see you soon!

Picture retake day

We’re excited to launch a new initiative at Red Mill Elementary called the Principal’s Panel! This group is made up of selected fourth-grade students who will serve as representatives, sharing feedback directly with Mr. Deveney and Mr. Marshall about what’s going well in our school and what could be improved. Their voices will help shape the student experience and ensure that Red Mill continues to be a place where every child feels safe, seen, and connected.

The goal of the Principal’s Panel is simple but powerful: to leave Red Mill better than they found it. Through thoughtful conversations, creative ideas, and a commitment to positive change, these students will help us build an even stronger school community. Each month, the Principal’s Panel will have a special section in our newsletter to share their ideas, suggestions, and celebrations with the Red Mill community. We can’t wait to hear what they have to say and see the impact of their leadership!

Our elementary lunch menus have changed! Rather than the three we previously offered, each day we will have 5 choices:

Main Entrée
Hot Alternate
Salad or Platter
Sandwich or Pack
PBJ Uncrustable
