Coaches’ Corner
By: Marsha, Kamilah, Brian,
Alexandra, Joanne and Regina
WOW! Can you believe it-here we are, almost finished with the first semester! Teachers, mark your calendars for next Monday and Tuesday (Dec. 8th & 9th) for our next “Coffee with Coaches” open forum. As before, we will be available in the media conference room from 9:30-3:45 on those days. Please come by to discuss any thoughts, concerns, opinions, questions, etc. Anything that is shared with us is strictly confidential; we want you to know that it is a safe zone. We look forward to seeing you! The coaches also encourage teachers, especially those new to our block schedule, to review the testing bell schedule for December 15-18. The class periods for testing will be 115 minutes long, so it is important to have enough activities scheduled to fill the time if your exam does not require the entire testing block. There will be no Power Hour/Club during that week. The students are getting excited because they are looking forward to the long winter break (and so are we!).
This excitement may require review of class/school rules and procedures. If there is anything we can help you with, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Other Announcements
Attention All Teachers! Round 1 of the Spelling Bee was a huge success! We will be conducting Round 2 of the Bee on Wednesday, December 10th during Power Hour. ELA teachers, special passes will be placed in your mailboxes to distribute to your students who have made it to the second round. The PTSA has graciously provided us with some generous prizes for the final round in January, including a $50 gift card to Best Buy for the 1st place winner! Students who make it to Round 2 and do not attend will be disqualified, so please remember to give the students the provided pass. Round 2 should not be too long, so students will be allowed back to their Power Hour class once the round is finished. Thanks for your cooperation--this is the best Bee yet! ~ Miss Morales & Ms. Zarcone
Reminder to all teachers - Teen
court is a good place to start with
minor behavior issues.

News from Guidance
By: Deb, Susan, Brittany, April,

1. Holiday food boxes - we will be
taking donations once again to
offer our pantry backpack students
a food box December
18th. Holiday themed foods and
cereal would be great for the
boxes.
2. Holiday Student Sponsors -
Debbie is posting a list in her office
of students we would like to offer a
small gift or gift card to the family
to assist with the holidays. Students
will return a small wish list by
Tuesday to participate. A list will
also be emailed to the staff. Let
Debbie know if you can assist
making a gift from our school
possible to the student. Gifts will be
picked up by the parents
December 18th.
3. Conferences - make sure you
are taking notes (hosting teacher)
and returning a copy of the form to
the grade level counselor. For ESE
students, Susan Sharpe should also
get a copy if they are 6th or 8th
grade.
4. Thursday Counseling Groups - will
not meet again until January
8th. The times for the remaining
sessions will be rotated so the same
period of time is not missed for the
students in the group. Rotation
schedule will be sent out before
winter break. Second semester
groups will start at the end of
January or first of February. Submit
names to Debbie Wolfrum for social
personal and conflict
management.
5. 8th Grade Teachers - high school
registration will begin the last week
in January with our students
through history classes. More
information to follow after winter
break regarding the registration
forms and procedure. See Debbie
if you have questions.
Thank You for the food donations
to assist with Thanksgiving food
boxes. We sponsored over 20
families for Thanksgiving with a food
box and small gift card for a meat
item. All of our pantry backpack
students had a food box available
for pick up here at Milwee!
Thank you and have a great week!
Congratulations to Carol Unterreiner You should be so proud of your team at the BETA Convention. They were amazing! Great Job!

I would like to thank all the staff members who chose me to represent the Employee of the Year. This was not only for me, but for all Paraprofessionals at Milwee. I am proud to be part of this school and staff. THANK YOU. ~Iris Rivera
Marsha, Kyle, Mr. Viola, Maria Marrero, Maureen, Leah, Mary Jo, and Kim- Thank you so much for assisting my students and me while I took a leave of absence due to my car accident! Without your kindness, hard work, and dedication to all the Milwee students and staff, we would not be the awesome Spartans that we are! I am so thankful for all you have done and will do! ~Brittany Weingart
A huge thank you to Wendy Cora and our lovely PTSA for helping make this year's Spelling Bee bigger and better than last year!
A big thanks to Alyssa Luis,
