School Counselor Updates: Mrs. Ambrosia
Greetings Miller Families! I had the pleasure of visiting the Kindergarten classrooms to introduce myself and review playground expectations this month. I’m sure your full-day Kindergarten student would love to show you their favorite activities on the playground using these Miller Playground Safety slides. All students did a great job explaining how they can be respectful, responsible and problem-solvers while on the playground!
Aurora City Schools also partners with several community organizations, including our very own PTO, to connect with families in need of community resources, food, clothing, funds for book fairs or holiday shops, and assistance with holiday gifting or celebrations. This form can be completed when a need arises. As always, please contact me at any time for more information.

School Wide PBIS Skill of the Week
- State the directions or command using simple language - Use as few words as possible. Remember to "Tell" not "Ask."
- Avoid a list of directions: "Get your shoes on, get your backpack, and zip your coat." Instead, state one direction at a time and provide positive praise after each accomplished task.
- Still Stuck? Have your child repeat the one direction back to you and make sure they are free from distractions.
- Need Help? Use these sentence starters- First...Then... or When...Then.... or If...Then...
Our PBIS skill of listening right away is reinforced with a Greenmen Proud Pom. When we see a child "listening right away" they earn a pom and help to fill our class bucket and school bucket. You can try this at home to encourage good listening skills too!
Important Reminder about Birthday Treats & Invitations
This is also a friendly reminder that all birthday or holiday items that come into school need to be non-food items. With our young children, there are many allergies and family preferences about food and treats so we ask that no food or candy is sent into the classroom except for a specific request from the classroom teacher. Suggested birthday items could be a small item, a book donated to the classroom, or something fun for everyone to enjoy to remember your child's special day. Thank you for your cooperation

Reporting Absences

If they are going to an appointment, please ask for a doctor's note to have on file here at school. Thank you!
If your family will have a planned absence due to an event or vacation, you will need to fill out a planned absence form for our schools. Please send in a note requesting this form as soon as you know your anticipated date.
If your child is experiencing illness symptoms and you have questions for our school nurse, Jackie Pawlowski, you may call 330-954-2286. She can help answer any questions.
