Summer School Ends on Wednesday
Our summer school classes are coming to an end on Wednesday. The last day for our Kinder - fourth grade students was Thursday, June 21st. Our fifth grade students have an additional opportunity to take the STAAR this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Mayhew and Mr. Gongora will be administering the exam on both days.
All fifth grade students must pass both the reading and the math STAAR exams in order to be promoted to the sixth grade. Once scores are released we will have grade placement committee (GPC) meetings for each fifth grade student that attended summer school to determine promotion or retention.
Building Maintenance
The Dallas ISD maintenance crew has already started work on some of our summer work requests. As parents, you have a voice at Milam. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about any specific classrooms or building areas in regards to possible repairs or improvements that can be completed during the summer. A quick phone call or email with information describing the concern will help us complete a work request. My email is annagalvan@dallasisd.org.
Summer Office Schedule
Mrs. Alcorta and I begin our summer vacation on Thursday. The school office will be closed from Thursday, June 28 to Friday, July 13. The office will open for the 2018 - 2019 school year on Monday, July 16. Please email me at annagalvan@dallasisd.org for any emergency issues.
