Message from the Principal
Dear Milam Community,
I hope this message finds you well and filled with excitement for the new school year. We are off to an excellent start, and I wanted to take a moment to update you on our progress and upcoming events.
Routines and Procedures: Our staff and students have been working diligently to establish routines and procedures that create a positive and productive learning environment. These foundational elements are crucial for a successful school year, and I'm proud of the dedication and effort everyone has shown.
Beginning of Year (BOY) Testing: Our BOY testing is in full swing, and it provides valuable insights into each student's academic strengths and areas for growth. This information will help us tailor our instruction to meet the unique needs of every child, ensuring a year of growth and achievement.
Upcoming Events: We have a busy calendar ahead filled with exciting events and activities. To stay up to date with all that's happening at Milam, I encourage you to follow us on social media. We regularly post updates, event announcements, and highlights of our students' achievements. Be sure to like and follow our pages to ensure you don't miss out on any of the action!
