Mill Valley Weekly

Hello Mill Valley Families.

It's hard to believe it's been 3 months since Mrs. Harris had her baby. We would like to thank Mrs. Plaushines for filling in and helping us out. Mrs. Harris will be back at Mill Valley on Monday, February 3rd.

In continuing our efforts to improve our end of the day pick up, we invite any parents who are interested to join us in the library at 3:45pm on Tuesday, February 4th. Your student is welcome to read quietly in the library while attending the meeting.

Thinking Students...Changing the World!

Robin Schrot, Principal

Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

Michelle Plaushines, Interim Associate Principal

Beginning Tuesday, February 4th, we will be snowshoeing in 3rd & 4th grade Phy Ed classes.

Please read the details HERE and let Mrs. Hoormann or Mr. Smith know if you are interested in helping.

On Friday, February 7, we will be celebrating the 100th day of school.

To celebrate this special day, we will be dressing up like we are 100 years old. If you would like to participate, it’s easy! Here are a few ideas that may help you dress the part!

Enjoy a Valentine’s Day Breakfast including muffins, donuts and juice with your loved ones in the Mill Valley cafeteria from 8-9am on February 14th. Students will also be able to make a valentine to send to the assisted living community. All are welcome to this FREE event. Mark your calendars for our 2nd annual Cupid’s Café.

Enter through door #1 by the office or door #3 by the cafeteria.

The Mill Valley Student Talent Show will be held on March 13th! It’s time to get your student thinking about showcasing their talents for friends and family on the big stage!

Thank you to all our families who participated in the Family Dine Out Nite at Matty’s after the winter concert. We raised over $200 to give back to Mill Valley!

The verdict is in! Our 4th graders have spoken and we listened. Mark your calendars for the 4th Grade Celebration (Part 1) at Helium Jump Park in New Berlin on Tuesday, June 9th from 10am-12pm.

Did you know arriving on time to school:

• Makes sure that your child doesn’t miss out on the important learning activities that happen early in the day when they are most alert.
• Helps your child to learn about routines and commitment.
• Gives your child time to greet their friends before class. This can reduce the possibility of disruptions in the classroom.
• Arriving late can make your child feel uncomfortable and can disrupt learning.
• Being on time every day makes children feel good about themselves.
