Engagement Survey - Your feedback is welcome & Appreciated!
Your opinion matters. Millard Public Schools seeks to have engaged stakeholders to meet its mission. Strategy 1.2 (2018) calls for a survey to determine engagement of all stakeholders (students, families, staff, and community).
Please take 10 minutes to provide us with your candid input. Your answers will be anonymous. If you have students in multiple buildings, you will receive a different link from each school. The survey window will remain open through November 17th.

❄️ Wintery Conditions Are Almost Here - Wheeler Recess Guidelines ❄️
Grade-level teachers and the office staff will determine whether students will go out for recess based on precipitation, wind chill, and temperature. For teacher recess, we will plan for outside recess if the temperature or wind chill (“feels like”) is above 0 using at the time of the recess. For lunch recess, we will plan for outside recess if the "feels like" temp is 10 degrees and up. This might mean that a grade level that has a recess at 10 AM may stay inside due to wind chill, and then it might warm up in the afternoon to allow for other grade levels to go outside. We will always prefer to be outside for fresh air!
☃️ ❄️☃️ ❄️ ☃️❄️ ☃️
Please dress students appropriately for the weather each day so they can fully participate. Classroom teachers will communicate with families what students in your child's grade level will be permitted to bring for outside winter play. There are many factors that go into this decision, such as length of recess, students' level of independence getting dressed/undressed, schedule for what is happening before/after recess, etc. Please make sure to take note of your child's grade level decision through their weekly communication/newsletter. Thank you for your partnership and cooperation in advance.
