Our Miller Owls have spent the first days of school learning and reviewing our WISE Expectations. We teach students about what it looks like and sounds like to be WISE in all areas of school including the classrooms, the hallways, and the cafeteria. Students who are seen demonstrating WISE expectations earn "badge signs," WISE tickets, and Hoot Yeah calls home! When a student fills up his/her WISE badge, they get to visit the WISE Prize Cart. The WISE Prize Cart is open every two weeks! Ask your Owl if they can tell you what it means to be WISE! 🦉🦉🦉

Be sure to join our PTA for the 24-25 school year! Your PTA membership helps support our students and staff and gives you opportunities to get involved as much or as little as you want! You AND your student can join!
