Students who are eligible to ride the bus must live beyond the following boundaries: East of 10th Street, West of Bicentennial Boulevard, North of Zinnia Street. Only eligible children are permitted to ride the bus.
Commuting by bus calls for appropriate behavior for comfort and safety of everyone. Inappropriate behavior is reported to the principal and parents by the bus driver. If the behavior continues, the privilege of riding the bus will be denied. If you have any questions regarding bus transportation, please feel free to call the Transportation Department (Bus Barn) at 632-3211.
Classes begin at 7:50 a.m. for PK-2nd and at 7:55 a.m. for 3rd-5th. Students are tardy after 8:05 a.m. Students are strongly encouraged to be at school on time. Announcements and initial teaching begin promptly at 8:00 a.m.
A parent's written excuse is required when a child is absent from school. When a child has a doctor's appointment during school hours, it is helpful to notify the teacher the day before leaving the campus. If a child is present and leaves for a doctor/dental appointment, get a doctor's excuse and the child will not be counted absent. State requires 161 days attendance per year. If absences exceed three days, a note from the doctor is required.
[TOP]
A request to have a child excused from classes early should be sent with the child on the morning of the dismissal. The time and the reason for leaving should be included. When possible, medical and dental appointments should be made outsied of school hours.
NO child will be allowed to leave the school grounds WITHOUT his/her parent or guardian SIGNING OUT in the office.
A child will be released only to the parents unless the school has been notified by the parents that they have granted permission for someone else to pick up the child.
We strongly urge you to leave your child in class until the end of the school day.
Taking them out early causes them to miss valuable learning time.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER, OR TRANSFER
If you change your address, home telephone number, or parent's work number, you need to notify the school office as soon as possible.
If you move to an address outside the MILAM area, you must request a Special Needs Transfer to remain at MILAM or register your child at the new school.
Notice should be given to the teacher or office 3 days in advance in order to have average of grades and get the child's records in order. All books and library books must be turned in.
Report cards are issued at the end of each six weeks period. Progress reports are sent home the Monday of the fourth week of each period.
*Don't forget! On report card night, bring the whole family and join us at Fuddruckers for MILAM NIGHT.
Students are responsible for their textbooks. We ask the students to have all books covered. Lost or damaged books must be paid for at the time of withdrawal from school or a the time such books are collected.
