Miller School is truly a community where parents, teachers, and students work together to build positive relationships that support and inspire academic and social growth for all of our Mustangs. Each of us plays a vital role and together we will work hard, have fun, and support each student as they unleash their unique brilliance and goodness. Together we strive to ensure each Mustang feels safe, respected, and valued for their unique voice in our community. We are thrilled that you and your family will be a part of Miller’s success this year.

Miller School is a comprehensive, small school serving students TK-5th and provides many enrichment and intervention opportunities including: character education, reading intervention, math enrichment, counseling, physical education, visual and performing arts, clubs, Rosetta Stone for English Learners, free online learning programs such as Accelerated Reader, Compass Learning, an extensive video library and after-school extended day care through both the YMCA and the Boys/Girls Club.

Miller School staff values parental involvement and we highly encourage parents, grandparents and family members to visit and join our PTA. Our PTA "Art in Action" program during the school day would make the "Masters" proud! We also have an active PTA and volunteer corps.

As the demands of living in the 21st Century and complexities of meeting the needs of our learners evolve, we invite our Miller families to partner and support our endeavors in the following ways::

• Encourage and assist your child to attend school every day, on time.

• Review & talk about classwork and homework with your child.

• Monitor and limit screen and media time.

• Read to your child / have your child read to you - at least 20 minutes each day.

• Attend ‘Back to School Night’ and Parent Conferences w/ your child’s teacher.

• Volunteer, when possible, in your child’s classroom or at school.

• Have daily conversations with your child about school.

• Stay ‘in the know’, visit our website, read the Mustang Messenger, & follow us on facebook.

• Regular two-way communication with staff and administration.

Unleash the brilliance and goodness in every one of us!

Design a quality learning environment where students feel safe, respected, and valued for their unique voice in our community.

Our people; our diversity; our small community and caring nature; our character education; innovation; a balanced curriculum which includes the arts, sciences, and technology; intervention and enrichment in academics and behavior; building self-worth.

Our school has been recognized as a 2015 - 2016, 2017 - 2018 (ERP) Honor Roll School for high achievement and student success! The Honor Roll program, sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE), is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes. Miller is one of 1,798 public schools in California to be recognized.

The ERP Honor Roll utilizes public school student achievement data to identify successful schools and districts. Our school stands above others in the state because of our demonstrated ability to get students to grade level achievement and beyond.

Schools that receive the ERP Honor Roll distinction have demonstrated consistent high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.

Here a few important facts about the ERP Honor Roll:

• It’s the only award given in collaboration with business leaders

• It includes graduation and dropout rate data

• It establishes a higher bar of performance than any other award

• It is conducted by Educational Results Partnership, a nonprofit organization that maintains the nation’s largest database on student achievement

We did not apply for this award. Our results led them to us! Because of our accomplishment, we will be featured on the ERP Honor Roll website and a banner has been designed for us to hang proudly at our school.

We are thankful for the hard work of our students and teachers here at Miller. This recognition is a testament to the sustained focus on academic results and commitment to student success that our school and parent community have shown over the years.
