March 16 - 20, 2020

Bears,

The first day of spring is nearly here - Friday, to be exact.  So since we didn't really have a winter, does that mean we skip spring and go right to summer?  All bets are off at this point.  "They" said it be a snowy winter, and there went that... Whatever the weather, we hope you enjoy your weekend! 

Here are copies of the letters that went home on 3/13 regarding the COVID-19 situation.

Remember our fundraisers!

Keep an eye on the upcoming dates.  And stay tuned for the latest info regarding Millville's response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.

Everyone have a great week.

Bears,

The last full week of January is nearly upon us.  Doesn't it seem like we just came back from the Winter Break?  Time, as they say, flies.  But where does it fly?  And why?  And how?  These are questions for another blog post.

Parents - some important information will be coming out soon regarding arrival and dismissal procedures.  In all, there won't be many changes (only a few things will be different), but we will be revisiting student arrival times, car drop off and pick up, and other similar topics.  Look for a letter, Facebook update, and call home soon. 

Remember - our pictures go straight to our Facebook page now. 

**Also, our PBIS assembly has been rescheduled to Tuesday, February 4th (still pm).**
