Good Afternoon Miller Families,
Hope this email finds you and loved ones in good health and spirits. I take this opportunity to thank each of you for the unwavering support you have given your child and our learning community during these unprecedented times. We have all had to make adjustments over the last three months that were unexpected, not perfect and stressful at times, but the Miller Community responded with unwavering support and steadfast patience and Team Miller THANKS YOU!
Many unanswered questions remain about next year and a committee comprised of district leadership, staff, students, and parents are diligently working to create multiple plans for varying scenarios that may be possible for reopening school next year. I will be sharing and communication with the Miller community as decisions become final. Important classroom, school and district information may be found at https://miller.dearbornschools.org/ , please take time to review as needed. Most recent updates include virtual kindergarten roundup and latest district and school news.
