This year, we want to celebrate the fall season with our students as well as enjoy the traditions of dressing up in costumes at school. I want to share some of the guidelines that we will be implementing for our Fall Parties so you can plan accordingly.

Preschool Fall Festival: Monday, October 31st, 10:30 AM & 2:30 PM

Kindergarten Fall Festival: Monday, October 31st, 10:30 AM (AM Kinder) & 2:30 PM (Full Day & PM Kinder)

• At Miller, we are asking that your child brings their costume to school in a bag and they will change before our party times. If your child needs to wear a portion of their costume (specific pants, leggings, or shirt) throughout the day, that is perfectly OK. Please advise that costumes need to be functional, school safe, no weapons can accompany a costume, and no full face coverings. Children will wear their costumes home on the bus.
• We will be working with our PTO headroom parents to plan fun games or activities, and specific visitors will be allowed into our school for the Fall Festival Party. All visitors will be checking in and no other siblings or guests will be able to attend. Thank you for your cooperation.

• We will have a weather-permitting outdoor costume parade where you can come up to the school and view all your wonderful children! A specific map and times will be shared closer to the date of our party. If the weather conditions are poor, the outdoor parade will be canceled and we will not hold an indoor event.
• The PTO will be supplying regular or gluten-free Oreos as a sweet treat for our party. More information about the snack will be forthcoming.

Please advise that our costume guidelines are different than the other buildings this year. Our children will not be wearing their costumes all day due to some challenges with restroom breaks throughout the day. We have learned from past experience that many costumes zip and snap in the back and children cannot manage this in the restroom independently.

If you would like to sign up to assist in your child's classroom during the Fall Festival, please use the link below to help out! Thank you!

Our PBIS skill of cleaning up right away is reinforced with a Greenmen Proud Pom. When we see a child "cleaning up right away" they earn a pom and help to fill our class bucket and school bucket. You can try this at home to encourage the skill of cleaning up at home too!

We ask that you call Miller School at 330-562-6199 to either speak with Vicki Wolf or leave a message. Please share your child's first name, last name, teacher, and the reason for the absence. 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.
