What better way to launch into a long weekend than with a Family Movie Night?! Kids will get the chance to cast votes on top movie choices in January, then put on some cozy clothes, bring a blanket/lounger/chair, and enjoy the show!

During the month of December, Miller School is focusing on the theme of Community. We are learning about what it means to belong, how each person contributes to our school, and the ways we can support and care for one another. Students will explore how communities work, how we show kindness and responsibility, and how our actions help make Miller a safe, welcoming place for everyone.
To help continue this learning at home, here are a few questions families can ask their students:
Conversation Starters
What does “community” mean to you?
How did you help our classroom or school community today?
What is something someone else did that made you feel included this week?
What is one way you can show kindness to someone in our school community?
What makes you feel like you belong at Miller School?
How can we help our community at home or in our town this month?
Our updated Standards-Based Report Card (SBRC) for Trimester 1 will be shared with families on December 3, 2025. This report card is designed to clearly show how students are progressing toward end-of-year grade-level standards in each subject area.
Key Updates
Report cards now include academic performance indicators that show where students are on the learning progression.
The Social Emotional Learning (SEL) section describes how students are demonstrating key habits and learning behaviors that support school success (aligned with the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning SEL Framework).
The updated report card provides a clearer, more detailed picture of student learning and is a more equitable approach, ensuring all students are measured against the same grade-level expectations (aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks).
Academic Performance Indicators
Academic areas (e.g., Literacy, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Specialist subjects) use a five-level proficiency scale: Exceeding, Meeting, Approaching, Progressing & Beginning.
