The teachers and support staff will be discussing with the students the promotion requirements for this school year. All students must pass Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Mathematics. All grade level students must pass four out of the six classes for the year. If you have any questions regarding your child’s progress, you may either contact the teachers or your grade level guidance counselor. Please stress to your children to keep all radios, game boys, cameras, pagers and any other objects that may distract their learning out of school. Remember, cellular phones may only be used before or after school. If they are seen or heard during the school day they will be confiscated and returned only to a parent. Also, please be aware of anything your child may have in their book bag that might be considered a weapon. We must all make a concerted effort to keep our school safe. Happy Spring to everyone.

No students should be dropped off in the bus loop for safety reasons. Only those parents who have an appointment with their child’s teachers are permitted to enter campus. Upon entering the campus, you must go directly to the Visitors Station, sign in and get a visitors pass. Visitors’ passes are only valid for one day. With so many people entering and exiting campus, it creates an unsafe environment and prohibits the faculty and staff from carrying out the responsibility of making sure that all children entering the Millennium campus are safe and secure. Also, if you have a concern about your child, please call the office to make an appointment. The staff at Millennium Middle is dedicated to making sure that your children have an effective school atmosphere. That cannot be carried out if there are several unannounced visits. An appointment also assures that your needs concerning your child can be discussed and taken care of without any interruptions. The Learner’s Creed I believe in myself

April 2013 Edition Teach Responsibility One Day at a Time
The three R’s are basic to school success, but teachers say another
R is especially important: Responsibility. Students who learn
responsibility at home are more likely to turn in assignments on
time, listen to and respect teachers, cooperate with other students
and follow school rules. These are all traits of students who
succeed in school.
To teach your child responsibility:
• Assign age-appropriate chores at home. Post a calendar where
your child can list (and check off) daily responsibilities.
• Teach your child daily responsibility for homework. Expect her to
follow a regular routine. If she struggles with an assignment, don’t
do it for her. Send a note telling the teacher where she ran into
trouble. Ask how you can support classwork at home.
• Expect your child to be responsible for submitting assignments
on time. If she consistently forgets her homework papers, don’t rush
to the school with the work. Your child may get a lower grade, but
she will be more responsible next time!
• Praise your child when she demonstrates responsible behavior.
