A Message from Mr. Miller
Greetings Wildcat Families,
Another great week is in the books, and we are heading full steam ahead towards Spring Break. We want to remind everyone that if your child is absent, only a note from a doctor will be excused. This time of year, many have planned vacations and we usually get questions regarding absences.
We are also quickly approaching the end of the 3rd Quarter. Remember to check your ParentVue to stay abreast of grade changes and proactively reach out to your child's teachers with questions.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Respectfully,
William Miller, Principal

Fifth Grade Transition Proofs
Attention 5th grade families. In order for your child's schedule to be finalized for 6th grade, I need two new current proofs of domicile. Please see the list of approved proofs of domicile below. This year we are holding a special 5th grade only dance for all students' I receive approved proofs of domicile for. Several tickets have already been awarded and are posted in classrooms. You may send in your proofs of domicile, upload them on Parent Vue or email them to me at jdiaz@ccboe.com. Please call with any questions.
The Parents' Place of Maryland is offering this wonderful class to parents free of charge. We are aware that this class is for parents of 13-18 year olds but know that most of our students have older siblings. We encourage everyone who can to take advantage of this class.
