Summer 2020

Millwood's Minute

Parents,

This year certainly did not end the way any of us thought it would-- but in typical Knight fashion, we learned to thrive through uncertain times. To say these last few months have been more than a challenge would be an understatement. However, our community has gathered together and we have weathered this storm in a way that will leave us much stronger. Our hope is that your family is healthy and that you are able to find some time this summer to get much needed rest.

As part of The Hall County School District we will be working diligently this summer to develop plans for the 2020-21 school year that ensures safety, continuation of services, and a high- quality education for our students. We will do everything we can to provide you with up to date information regarding beginning of school activities as they are developed. I encourage you to check your email, Infinite Campus Messages, and Remind accounts often as these are our primary means of direct communication with you.

Up to date information in real time can be found on our web page at https://shms.hallco.org/web and on Facebook and Twitter.

Have a safe and wonderful summer!
