Milwood Elem. Panther Press

October is off to a great start. We observe our students demonstrating commitment to their learning, practicing positive behavior, and engaging with our school's emphasis on kindness, growth mindset, and bully prevention. Significant progress is evident across our classrooms and school community.

We are committed to enhancing student engagement, supporting academic mastery, and providing meaningful learning experiences for all students.

Kind Regards

Our first fundraiser with Hungry Howie's went great 61 calls! The winning teacher was Ms. Belden with 14 and the amount raised was $424.98”.

We understand that sometimes you need to pick up your child early for an appointment, and we're happy to help make that work. To keep our classrooms focused on learning, we ask that students not be dismissed before 3:50 p.m. If you need to arrange an early pickup, please call the office by 3:30 p.m. or arrive before 3:30 p.m. to collect your child. When the office reaches out to classrooms for early dismissals, it interrupts valuable instructional time for all students. We truly appreciate your partnership in reserving early pickups for appointments and allowing your child to benefit from the full school day whenever possible.
