New Shout Outs
- Miss Metzelaar is doing an incredible job. She's very good at communicating so I feel like I know what's going on. Thanks Miss. M for everything you do!
- My son absolutely loves Mrs. Polenzani! He is always talking about school and all the fun things they do. He is so engaged in his learning and repeats school activities at home for fun. I so admire the experience and outlook on learning Mrs. P has and I'm so happy my son is having such a great kindergarten year.
Be Seen and Heard- Victor Pacini
Mr. Pacini also wanted to share some resources for families that connect with the presentations from Wednesday. These can be great follow-up discussions to have with your child about the topics presented.
Report Cards/ MAP Testing Scores
In addition, 1st-5th graders will be sent home with Fall MAP testing scores. Below is a video on how to interpret the report that will be sent home. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.

2021/2022 Yearbooks
These are the days your child will want to remember forever. Help make the year unforgettable by purchasing a Millburn Building Community yearbook.
Your kid will have a book that will be enjoyed now and 20, 30 or even 50 years from now. You also can make the yearbook extra special by purchasing namestamping and a protective plastic cover.
Buy online with credit card, debit card or PayPal at yearbookforever.com . Be sure to choose Millburn Elementary in Old Mill Creek. If you need to order from MMS, please make sure to go back to the link after you place your elementary order and choose the middle school. Order now, so your child won’t miss out when the yearbook is distributed around the end of May.
As an adult, you know how important memories become. Don’t let your child’s memories fade; make sure they get a yearbook!
