Principal's Message for the Week of September 16th

APS open enrollment begins this week. Miller South will be accepting students in grades 4 and 6 for the 2025/2026 school year. If you have any friends and family who will enter those grades next year please encourage them to enroll at Miller South and join our family. Auditions will take place this winter. Information on how to enroll is available on our website.

Thursday, September 19, will be our annual Father’s Walk. We invite fathers and father figures to bring their child/ren to school to show their support for education. Our Father’s Walk will begin at 8:00 am and will be located in the parking lot by door 3. Parking is available in the back two lots by door 12 and you can walk up to the event. Students attending the Father’s Walk will not be marked tardy. If you are planning to attend, RSVP to ensure that we have enough refreshments. Thank you to all of you who have already RSVPed. We are looking forward to another great turnout from the Miller South Dads.

Akron Public Schools will be celebrating College Access Week beginning on Monday, September 23rd. More information will be available next week regarding how students and families can participate! 

September is attendance awareness month. Consistent attendance is important for the academic and social success of students. Please be aware that students are to be in school each day by 8:05 or they are marked tardy. They are also missing important updates and information that is presented in morning meeting if they are not present. Please review our tardy policy attached here.

Due to the size of 6th-grade classrooms, 6th-graders are not permitted to have backpacks in their core classes. Students should take their Chromebooks, planners, notebooks, and a writing utensil in class each day. Notebooks should be arriving next week and will be passed out to students.

Students are not permitted to have outside food delivered to the school. If a student returns from an appointment with outside food, they will be required to eat it in the main office. 

A message from the PTA: PTA coordinates dinner for staff on interim pickup and conference nights.  Please visit this to sign up for the first interim dinner, October 3rd.


PTA thanks everyone who submitted designs and voted in the shirt design contest.  The winning design is at the screen printer being formatted for the spirit wear sale which will start on September 29th.

Acme receipt envelopes are up outside homerooms now.

Students are encouraged to wear purple tomorrow as we welcome Mrs. Skidmore back as purple is her favorite color. 

Check your email for the calendar of events taking place this week. Have a great weekend and we’ll see everyone tomorrow.
