Please take a few minutes to read about the changes to the Michigan READ by Grade 3 Law. We will be completing our first round of literacy testing on October 16th. We use the data gathered from these assessments to determine how to meet the needs of our students and which students need an Individualized Reading Improvement Plan (IRIP).

If your child is going to be absent, please contact the school to let the office staff know in the morning. Please call the Miller office and leave a message at 734-753-4421. This includes if your child will be absent due to a doctors appt. etc..

For more details regarding student attendance please view the Elementary Student Handbook.

If you need to make a CHANGE to how your child is getting home from school, it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to send a note to school with your child OR call the Miller Office. If you write a note, please include their first and last name, their teacher's name, and the date for the change in transportation, also indicate who will be picking them up.

If they are leaving early for an appointment etc..please write the time they will be picked up. Please notify the office before 3:00pm with any last minute changes.

This year our transportation department has a great app to help you know where your child's bus is! Click on the link below to learn more!

In the morning, students who are eating breakfast at school will get off the bus first and go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Miller staff and 5th grade safeties will be assisting in directing students off the bus and directing them into the school and to classrooms.

Please be patient busses may be late from time to time due to trains. We will send a Class DOJO message out if busses leave Miller late.

Every school in the country is eligible for additional federal funding that helps support students that are having difficulty academically or emotionally in school. This funding is based on the number of students eligible to receive free and reduced lunch.

Please help Miller Elementary maintain the funding we already have that supports our reading intervention programs and take a minute to fill out the free and reduced application.

Please Click on the link below.

Free and Reduced Lunch Application

*Completing the form does not mean your child MUST take free or reduced breakfast and lunch. It is just helping us maintain the funding for our current programs to help struggling students. *

Dismissal will be in the back of the building for parent pick ups. Dismissal begins at 3:40 Please do not pull up in the back before 3:20.

We are asking that all parents park on the black top in the back and not in the bus loop. The bus loop is for overflow only.

Medical Dietary Restriction

If your child has any allergies or medical dietary restrictions, a Medical Dietary Form needs to be filled out every year and sent to the food service office in order to ensure we have the most up to date info at all times. By doing this, we are able to see your child’s dietary needs at the point of service and will be able to ensure your student is only eating meals that are safe for them.
Please feel free to reach out to Eric Stetz if you have any questions or concerns regarding the Food Service Department.
