Letter from the Principal
As we enter the holiday season, I can't help but be grateful for our wonderful Miller community. We are blessed to have such amazing staff, students, and families.
I hope everyone has an opportunity to spend time this season acknowledging all of the amazing things that are happening all around us. Even in the most challenging times there is always something to be grateful for, the more we practice gratitude the more fulfilled we become.
We can also use your help! We understand that there are a lot of colds and reasons why students might be absent or tardy. Please be sure to contact the front office at 520-908-4200 and let us know when your child is absent. It is very important we want to ensure our students are safe and want everyone to be aware that unexcused absences not only affect school funding but also impede the learning process. Also, if you have a message you need to get to a student - please call the office before 2pm. This ensures we are able to deliver the message before the end of the day begins.
Please remember learning begins at 8:20am every morning and it is important that students are in line prior to that time. It is very challenging for students who are routinely late to adjust and catch up on their morning routines.
Thank you!
Mrs. Aragon

Traffic Reminders
When in the parking lot, be sure to go slow and pay attention as many families and students walk through the parking lot and surrounding streets to get to and from school each day.
If you are going to park your car, please use a parking space in the parking lot in the mornings and afternoons - the driveway area is for drop-off only - it is a NO Parking zone. Also, please make sure to avoid dropping off students in the bus bay area. Students should be dropped off on Avenida Isabel or through the drop off lane in the parking lot.
Attendance Matters
If they arrive after 8:35 am, please make sure to sign them in with the office and get a late pass. If they are going to be absent, please make sure to call the office to excuse the absence.
Classes are dismissed at 2:30 pm (or 1:30 pm on Wednesdays).
Free breakfast and lunch for every student at Miller! Please click on the menu above to see the food choices each day.
