MILTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dear Staff, Parents, and Students, We hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to inform you that the 2024-2025 school year calendar has been updated. You can find the new calendar on our website, and it will also be posted on our Facebook page for easy access. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Thank you for your continued support! Best regards, Todd Neace Superintendent, Trimble County Schools https://www.trimble.kyschools.us/page/district-calendar

Good evening Milton Families, We were looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday, however Mother Nature had other plans. Monday, January 6th will be NTI Day 1 (Non-Traditional Instruction Day). Teachers will be reaching out to you via Class Dojo tomorrow. Please note that staff will not be reporting to school for safety reasons, so the school phone line will not be answered. Email and Class Dojo will be the best ways to communicate with the school staff. If you do not have the student choice boards, they are available on the school webpage. https://www.trimble.kyschools.us/o/milton-elementary-school/page/nti-non-traditional-instruction-materials We hope that everyone is staying warm and safe. Please reach out if you have any questions.

A big thanks to everyone who donated items for our annual Fish Fry. Tomorrow, Saturday, 10/19/24, meals will be served from 11-6 pm, Games are 3-5 pm, and the live auction begins at 6. If you have not purchased a meal ticket, it is not too late. Tickets will be available tomorrow at the door. We will also be selling pecans, MES t-shirts and continuing our penny wars. Hope to see everyone at MES on Saturday.

Please see facebook and the Webpage for our Veterans Day announcement!

Milton Elementary School's SBDM council is looking for your feedback regarding the dress code for our students. Our dress code has not been revised since 2018.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your VOICE matters! https://forms.gle/BteXpuzVTp3ejAya8 The updated policy will be drafted using this data at the October 16th SBDM meeting at 4:00 pm.
