Principal Notes
WOW! What a great summer! It is a time of recharging the batteries and creating experiences that will make for wonderful stories once back with friends and colleagues at school. We look forward to welcoming back our students and anticipate many new faces throughout the classes.
I remind all our community that our student days and hours are a bit different this year compared to previous years. I would suggest that you take a look at the new calendar located on the Foothills School Division website. Follow the following course:
 Go to:

·Lower page right is YEAR AT A GLANCE
·Click on ANNUAL CALENDAR 2011-2012
Note the Fridays that students will not be in school. To accommodate this change, Millarville Community School will not have an early dismissal on those Fridays students are in school.  Beginning this school year, unless otherwise noted, students will dismiss on Fridays at 2:50pm as is the case for other school days during the week. Staff will be in school as usual for all Fridays for professional development, scheduled meetings and school related business.
Our OPENING DAY FOR STUDENTS is September 1st – a Thursday. We will have our annual pancake and sausage breakfast beginning at 8:30am and culminating in an assembly at approximately 10:00am. Families are invited to attend for this opportunity to meet your neighbours and the MCS staff. Students will then spend their day in their assigned classes. Remember . . . Friday is not an early dismissal day.
We look forward to a productive, positive and energetic year as we continue the adventure that is growing together!
