When your children bring home their papers, please sit down with them and talk about the options they have. If you need help, please call or e-­‐mail Mrs. Ivonne Hidalgo, 8th grade Guidance Counselor, and she will be glad to assist.

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

March 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
