Mr. Vickers’ Views:
Happy May! After a very mild winter, we certainly have had a beautiful early spring with just the right amount of precipitation and plenty of opportunities for our children to get outside and play. In fact, Mr. Brazina, Ms. Veltri, and I had terriBic weather as we drove around during TV Turn-‐off Week in April, and we caught record numbers of kids who were enjoying the lovely weather. Many of the kids were doing their homework out in the elements. This might just be a great remedy for you to try with your children if they are hesitant or reluctant about completing their homework each afternoon. Sometimes, a change of scenery or a break in the routine is enough to breathe new life into what might otherwise be hard for our children.
At Mill Run, we pride ourselves on our openness! All of our staff members were speciBically selected for their love of children and for their ability to communicate well, both orally and in writing. In short, we love seeing our parents in our building and are so grateful for the support that we receive from our families. I would request that all visitors to Mill Run please respect the instructional time that our teachers have with your children, though. Please remember that teachers plan their lessons and units with speciBic timeframes in mind: the timeframes that are necessary to complete their lessons with your children. We ask that parents please remember to sign-‐in at the ofBice and to avoid impromptu “pop-‐ins” during instructional times. Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher, via email or phone call, and our professional staff will get back to you promptly. Thanks so much for your dedication, support, and understanding.
Moving ahead, we have many great opportunities for you to visit school and participate in your child(ren)’s educational programs. Please pay particular attention to the last week of May and the Birst week of June in the “At-‐a-‐Glance” section that adorns the front page of this newsletter. Also, please look for the Parent Input Forms for class placement to be sent home with your children at the end of the Birst week of May.
Mr. Brazina’s Breaking News
I also want to thank you and our terriBic PTO for supporting Mill Run’s iPad initiative. In just one month, we were able to secure the funding for a complete classroom set of 30 iPads and the necessary peripherals to enrich and enhance our instructional program. The hardware has now been ordered, and it is our hope that we can get the iPads into the hands of our Bifth graders before they head off for the summer and on to middle school. Stay tuned to learn how these tools will be integrated into the learning of every Mill Run child, beginning in the fall!
I look forward to seeing all of you soon! Serving as the principal of this great school for these past 12-‐years is one of my greatest blessings. I look forward to many more to come!
With utmost respect,
Paul L. Vickers
Principal
Standards of Learning (SOL) – Online Testing
For the past several years, most middle schools and high schools in Virginia have administered the Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments online, rather than as paper-and-pencil tests. Online testing is now also being adopted as the preferred method to administer SOL assessments in the elementary grades. SOL testing is scheduled for May 7th through June 1st for students in grades 3-5 in Loudoun County Public Schools, with each school setting their own schedule within that period. Please see the Mill Run calendar located on the main page for specific testing dates. During May/June 2012, all students in grades 3-5 will be administered their SOL assessments as online tests, unless it would be in the child’s best interest to instead take paper-and-pencil tests.The Virginia Department of Education has conducted numerous studies to ensure that the online tests are comparable to paper-and-pencil tests. That is, students would earn approximately the same score, regardless of whether they took the test on a computer or with paper-and-pencil. Students will have a number of different training experiences prior to actually taking an SOL test online.
Velt!’s V"ion
By: Ma!sa Velt!, Admin"trative Intern
Congratulations to Mill Run’s April Super Citizens!!Each month teachers select one student from their class who has demonstrated character traits that are
consistent with creating a respectful and caring school climate.
Is it already May? This, to me, is so hard to believe! As Mr. Vickers and I drove around one afternoon last month in the Paw-‐Patrol for turn off your TV week, I can remember saying to him how fast this school year has just gone by…and it truly has! Summer will soon be here and we will be enjoying the pool, playing outside, having picnics, and going on family vacations!
Please remember to continue looking inside of your child(s) yellow Thursday envelope, as well as, checking the Calendar of Events on Mill Run’s webpage for more information. Staying connected is a very important part of your child(s) education!
On another note, our lunch incentive program, “Going for the Gold,” continues to be a hit! Many classes have been able to enjoy lunch with Mr. Vickers, Mr. Brazina, and myself. In order to earn Bine dining, classes must earn 30 “golden paw stickers” in the cafeteria for good behavior. The following classes have recently earned “Bine dining:”
Ms. Powers – grade 1 Ms. Skutch/Rock – grade 4 Ms. Holmes – grade 1 Ms. Cash – grade 4 Ms. McIntosh – grade 1 Ms. Haggerty – grade 4 Ms. McVeigh – grade 1 Ms. VanPatten – grade 5 Ms. Sovereign – grade 3 Ms. Williams – grade 5 Ms. Kretzler – grade 3 Ms. Page – grade 5 Ms. Beck – grade 4 Ms. Johnston – grade 5
Great job to all of our classes who have earned “Bine dining!” Keep up the good work!

Absentee Phone Line
If your child is absent for any reason, please make sure to call the Mill Run Absentee Phone Line, (571) 252-2162, on the day or days your child is not in school. When possible, we would like to receive
your call before our work day begins at 7:30 am. Also, please call the absentee number if your child will be tardy that day to prevent a
phone call having to be made home. The absentee phone line is available for your use 24 hours a day, everyday. You can also save time and email us about your child’s
absence! [email protected]
The “Character Word” for the month of May is Citizenship. Guidance lessons in the classroom will focus on group and individual responsibility for citizenship. Citizenship involves following the rules and doing their part to ensure their own safety and that of others. Please ask your children to tell you about what they learned in their guidance lesson.
The next Mountain Lion Pride Breakfast will be on Wednesday, May 2, 2012.
Parents, please be sure to have your children in bed on time (the earlier the better) during the SOL testing time. The extra sleep combined with a little daily exercise and a healthy breakfast will help your child to feel awake and energized during the testing.
Fifth Grade Transition Info: 5th gr. Students will visit Eagle Ridge Middle School on Tuesday, May 1st
The last day to turn in applications for Bridge to the Ridge is May 1st
Please feel free to contact your grade-level counselor at any time with your questions or concerns so that we may discuss them with you. It is our pleasure to be able to provide support and information to the students and families of Mill Run.

Today...
I will do more than I have to,
I will treat others as I want to be treated,
And I will try to become a better person.
