MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL MATA
Proud of our Mammoths!
Hello Mammoth Community!
We're extremely proud of all the progress our students continue to make throughout the year. It's inspiring to see how much effort our kids are putting into their work despite all the challenges they've faced. We're looking forward to a strong and successful second half of the year for each and every one of our students!
In preparation for bringing students back for in-person learning, the district will be releasing informational videos about reentry on Feb 4. This information will help families better understand what hybrid learning will look like for students as they begin to return to our buildings. The videos will also discuss COVID-19 safety protocols and how staff and students will work together to make sure these protocols are followed. At this time, the videos will be focused on preparing elementary students and classrooms. Additional information will be released in late-February to address bringing middle and high school students back into school buildings.
Once these district videos and details are shared, I will share updates with families about what this will look like at Miller. Please keep an eye out for this important information.
Thank you for your continued partnership,
Mrs. Laura Mata

FREE GRAB-N-GO MEALS
With a new year comes new changes, including a few meal distribution updates!
Starting January 4, 2021, Salem-Keizer Public Schools will be offering Grab-N-Go meals at 90 locations. Meals will be available for pick-up at the locations below from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. They are free for any child or teen ages 1-18, and adults with special needs ages 18-21 who are enrolled in a Salem-Keizer Public Schools program.
Breakfast, lunch and supper
We are now including suppers in the Grab-N-Go meal bag. Each bag contains breakfast, lunch and supper. If you are picking up multiple bags, we recommend bringing your own bag to help carry the amount of food being distributed.
Four previous locations are closed
Our Food Services team monitors daily usage at each of our locations. Occasionally, this means that some sites will close to consolidate with nearby locations. Also, we will no longer be distributing weekend meals; however, the inclusion of daily suppers will actually increase the amount of food distributed each week.

SCHOOLMESSENGER - NOTIFICATIONS
At the start of each school year, information from student registration forms is input into the student information database.
SchoolMessenger, the system the district uses to send out phone notification to parents, receives updated information from this database once each day.
It is very important that parents keep their contact information current.
Be sure to let your school office know if you have a new address, email or phone number.
The parent or guardian marked as the primary contact in the student information system will receive automated communication.
Messages will also be sent to the student’s home phone number contained in the database, if different from the primary contact phone number.
OREGON HEALTH PLAN FREE FOR YOUTH
Through the Oregon Health Plan, youth 19 years of age and younger have access to free health coverage, regardless of immigration status if they meet the income requirements.
More information, including income requirements and how to apply for coverage, is available online.
