Thank you and have a great long weekend!
During the month of September students are learning about how important emotions are in our lives. Students and teachers are creating class charters that identify how all members of their classroom want to feel as members of their classroom community. Students are also learning how to come together to have a "community circle" which is a class meeting structure that invites every voice to be listened to on a given topic ( for example, it could be to share your name and one thing you learned today).
Below are some examples of this work in our classrooms!
Student Definition of Emotions
Explaining the Key Components of RULER (our new SEL Curriculum)
Class Charter
Please join the Holliston PTO at our Elementary Back to School Picnic on September 20 at 5pm until dusk. This is a great opportunity to see old friends and meet the new classmates of your children! Pack a picnic dinner and bring a blanket, then have fun on the playground, play on the field (bring a ball if you wish), blow bubbles, draw with chalk, build some legos, or borrow a board game to play on your picnic blanket with your family or friends!
Want to help make the picnic fun for all? Sign up for a quick, easy slot to give out name tags, refill bubbles, or set up!Back to School Picnic Volunteers

We will be starting Power Hour Club for all Miller School students who are interested in staying after school to work on their classwork, projects, homework or other academic areas where they may need additional review of the concepts.
Students should bring unfinished classwork, homework, projects or a reading book to Power Hour each week. This club will be offered in two 9-week sessions. Session 1 will be held on Tuesdays from September 24th through November 26th.Session 2 will be held on Tuesdays fromJanuary 7th through March 11th.Each session will accommodate up to 20 students and will be assigned on a first-come-first-serve basis. We will hold the sessions in the Miller School Library.
The focus of this club will be to provide students with support and extra review in targeted areas while having access to school resources and staff. Students will be allowed to work cooperatively when appropriate and their classroom teachers will be consulted as needed for clarification. Power Hour will be supervised by two of our classroom assistants; Cathy Reid and Kerry Baker, and it will be held in the Miller School Library.
There is no fee for this club, however, transportation home is the parent’s responsibility and students must be picked up no later than 2:45 p.m. in the Miller Loop. Please note that due to allergies, students will not be allowed to have a snack.
Enrollment will continue until all sessions are full.
