Principal Message:
Happy fall from Miller Middle School! September brought fresh energy and incredible pride as our football and volleyball seasons came to a fantastic close—a huge congratulations to all our student-athletes for their hard work and great achievements!
We're excited for the first dance of the school year! Please note that while students are permitted to wear costumes, they may not wear masks or bring in replica weapons. Additionally, due to safety concerns, students under 12 will not be permitted into Miller-sponsored athletic events without adult supervision.
Looking ahead, we are thrilled to launch our afterschool programs this month and invite you to get involved as parent-teacher conferences approach, as your partnership is vital to setting our students up for success. To sign up for a time that works best for you and your student, please use the SignUpGenius link sent by your student's advisory teacher. Scheduled spots are available from 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM, with drop-in conferences following from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM for families unable to meet during the day.

Message from Miller PTO:
Once a year, MMS students lead our "Love Your School" fundraiser—and we need your help!
This is our one-time student-led fundraiser for Miller Middle School. Every dollar donated by MMS
families goes 100% back to our students and staff, helping fund things like field trips, classroom
needs, student activities, teacher appreciation, and more.
Our PTO has a small budget and big goals for our school. If every MMS family participates, even with a small contribution, it can make a meaningful difference.
We hope you’ll Love Your School and support MMS!
