Fortunately, our teachers, assistant principal, custodians, secretaries, specialists, and paraprofessionals get the opportunity to have Mrs. Conn as a school principal! Mrs Conn has brought a culture of responsibility, kindness, perseverance, creativity and safety. My children have had nothing but great things about their days at Milton Elementary. My youngest especially loves when Mrs. Conn and her assistants dress up in costumes for holidays and events.

Fortunately, our teachers, assistant principal, custodians, secretaries, specialists, and paraprofessionals respect the children, their families, and each other.
Sadly however, since Dr. Conn arrived at our loving school, the inconsistency with our students, families, and staff is reflected on the faces of all. The inconsistency of what is "allowed/not allowed", causes the occupants in our loving Milton Elementary School walk on eggshells.
Reports have been made by parents, community members, and staff. Some things have been rectified while others have not. Our school building is no longer a welcoming school.
Therefore, I highly recommend Milton Elementary School, for the education and nurturing by all EXCEPT DR. CONN.

I have had 3 children attend MES over the last 7 years. The teachers are attentive and fun, the school administration and community are very supportive. Class sizes are reasonable with learning activities and opportunities provided for each child's individual capabilities.
