Attendance Matters!
Being at school every day and on time helps students stay connected, build strong habits, and keep up with learning. Every day brings opportunities to grow, participate, and succeed!
Please help your Grizzly arrive ready to learn, schedule appointments outside school hours when possible, and notify the office when your student is absent. If attendance challenges arise, reach out—we’re here to help! 💚
One Little Dot, So Much More!
What began as a celebration of International Dot Day in Mrs. Shinn’s Art & Design classes grew into a colorful collaboration involving nearly 150 students and staff members!
Toward the end of the first quarter, our Grizzlies celebrated creativity, courage, and collaboration through an activity inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot. In the story, a student named Vashti doubts her ability to draw until her teacher encourages her to “Just make a mark, and see where it takes you.” One simple dot helps her discover her creative voice and build confidence.
Our Grizzlies took that message to heart! Using a variety of art materials, students and staff created dots of different sizes, colors, and patterns. Together, their individual contributions became a bold, bright mural that now welcomes everyone who passes through the hallway.
Thank you, Mrs. Shinn, for helping our students leave their mark on Millswood—and reminding us how much we can create together! 💚
