On Tuesday, April 14th, we will welcome 8th-grade students and their caregivers to join us in the MHS Auditorium at 6:00 PM. We will offer you a special Step-Up Night program with the aim of providing 8th-grade students with an opportunity to visit MHS, meet their TA teacher, take a tour of the building, and receive important information about our school program.
Our presentation will focus on a day in the life of an MHS 9th grader. We will look at a typical 9th-grade daily schedule and discuss the clubs, activities, and athletic opportunities available at MHS.
As we get closer to the event, we will have a schedule to share with 8th-grade families. We can’t wait to see you all in April!

🤲 After play comes handwashing. Recess, sports, and outdoor activities are great for students, but germs spread easily. Washing hands after activity helps keep everyone healthier.
Reminder: today is an early release day!
👕 Clean clothes support healthy skin. Changing clothes daily—especially socks and undergarments—helps reduce bacteria, odor, and skin irritation, which is especially important for growing children and teens.
🧴 Clean hands before meals are essential. Washing hands before eating helps prevent stomach illnesses that spread easily in school settings. This simple step can reduce absences and keep students feeling their best.
Join other Milton caregivers for a casual listening session, where we want to hear about your school concerns.
