This Week's Assembly
Recess Temperatures
During indoor recess, we luckily have our gymnasiums available and students can play in there during their recess time. At times, our gyms are not available and students stay in their rooms to play board games, work on their iPads, or even read a good book.
Students should always come to school prepared and dressed for the weather. Do make sure, before they leave the house, they have a warm coat, hat, gloves, warm boots and snow pants, if possible.
Read to Succeed Program
Feel free to use your read steps towards this!

Please direct any changes to Mrs. Hayes:
847-356-8331

Millburn WebStore
Millburn WebStore/Outstanding Fees
The Millburn Webstore is available! Parents can now pay for activity fees, sports fees, and more! Simply go to store.millburn24.net to access the Millburn WebStore. In the Millburn Webstore, you will have the option to make payments with a credit card, bank account, or for some items, your child’s PushCoin Wallet. To add funds to your child’s PushCoin Wallet, go to www.pushcoin.com.
Please check your child’s PushCoin account weekly to view any fees your child may have incurred (e.g., lost library book, MBAC fees, lunch overages). If you have not created a PushCoin account for your child, please visit www.pushcoin.com, click "I don't have an account," and follow the prompts to set up your child's account. Once you’ve created a PushCoin account for your child(ren), you will receive monthly emails from PushCoin if your child has an outstanding fee balance. Note that low balance lunch reminders are no longer sent home with your child. However, you can set a low balance or negative balance notification through PushCoin. This will be sent to the email address you provide.
