THE KNIGHTLY NEWS

Dear Families,

It was great to have students back in the building this week! We jumped right back into our routines here at school. We have lots of fun things coming up as we finish up the school year. Be sure to read our school newsletter, emails from your child(ren)'s teacher and everything that comes home in Friday Folders so you don't miss anything.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Dr. Tara Cooper

Thank you to our amazing custodial staff, whom we celebrated during the week of April 6th! Their hard work and dedication keep our building and grounds looking their best every day. We truly appreciate all that they do.

ParentVUE and StudentVUE have transitioned to new mobile apps.

Millard will make that switch on April 1st.

Note: Either app will work until next Fall in which users will have to transition to the new app.

Please note:

• Beginning April 1st, when a parent or student opens the current ParentVUE or StudentVUE app, they will receive a notification that a new app is available. Selecting the notification will direct them to the app store to download the new app. They will see "ParentVUE (New)" or "StudentVUE (New)".

• After downloading the new app, users will need to log in using their existing username and password.

We’re excited to bring back Raffle Baskets for Family Fun Night!

This year’s Family Fun Night will take place on Thursday, May 7th, and we’ll once again be raffling off themed baskets created by each grade level. These baskets are always a highlight of the evening and add so much fun and excitement for everyone!

We are asking for your support in helping us fill these baskets with donations. Please check the Sign Up Genius link for your child’s grade level and consider signing up if you’re able to contribute. Your generosity truly makes a difference and helps make this event special for our students and families.

Donations can be dropped off at the school office at any time, but please make sure all items are submitted no later than Friday, May 1st.

Thank you so much for your continued support—we can’t wait to see everyone at Family Fun Night!
