Extensions Groups
We are excited to announce that our Wellness Center will be offering Extension Groups for 3rd-8th grade for students throughout the year!
Students may occasionally be invited to participate in engaging enrichment activities such as STEM challenges, student newsletter projects, brain teaser games, collaborative team-building activities, and much more. These groups are designed to celebrate student strengths, interests, and creativity while providing meaningful opportunities for growth.
Our Extension Groups are flexible and continually evolving based on student needs and teacher recommendations. We look forward to recognizing our students and providing these exciting enrichment opportunities whenever possible! Thank you for your continued support. We can't wait to see our students learn, create, and thrive!
Support for Peer Conflict
As we continue through the school year, there may be times when your child experiences difficulty getting along with classmates or other students, either in the classroom or elsewhere on campus. When these situations arise, a staff member may refer the students involved to our Wellness Coaches. Our Wellness Coaches facilitate restorative conversations or circles designed to help students work through conflicts in a positive and productive way. During these restorative conversations, students discuss what led to the conflict, reflect on how their actions impacted others, and learn strategies for resolving disagreements and building healthier peer relationships moving forward.
If your child participates in a restorative conversation during the school day to address a peer conflict, you will receive an email notification from your child's homeroom teacher informing you that the intervention took place. Our goal is to support students in developing the communication, problem-solving, and relationship skills needed to be successful both at school and beyond.

What is PBIS? |
PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. It’s a structured school-wide focus on using data to create a positive, predictable, and safe school environment where all students can learn and succeed by... - Teaching and practicing clear behavior expectations - Recognizing and reinforcing positive behavior - Providing support so every student can meet expectations - Building a school culture that is that everyone wants to be a part of |
What Sets Us Apart |
Millville PBIS Tier 1 Highlights - Added Roadrunner Expectations signage across campus to keep expectations clear and visible. - Staff consistently handed out Beep Beeps to recognize students showing Safe, Respectful, and Responsible behavior. - With Student Council input, we revamped the Spirit Store to offer more exciting rewards. - Celebrated students who met expectations all week with a 20‑minute free‑time reward, requested by Student Council. - Implemented school-wide monthly behavior goals based on daily behavior data, helping the entire school focus on one shared improvement target at a time. - Supported students needing extra help through Behavior Academy, where they reflected on behavior, were retaught expectations, and practiced strategies for success. |
Next steps |
Millville’s next steps focus on strengthening our PBIS work by involving the community, families, and students more intentionally. We plan to include these groups in our Tier 1 teams, Student Council, and Site Council to ensure a wider range of voices and perspectives guide our decisions. We will also share PBIS data and celebrate successes more frequently—not just once a year—so everyone stays informed, engaged, and connected to the progress we are making together. |
