Mission Statement: Promoting a cooperative partnership between parents, students, teachers and community.

Doris Miller Middle School Community Learning Center is a community-oriented program that provides parents/guardians access to engage in learning opportunities.  The center promotes both practical information sessions, as well as classes and workshops that encourage a love of learning and exploration of interests—a simple recipe for profound engagement.

The Community Learning Center provides:

• Direct assistance to parents/guardians, such as listening, giving information and providing resources
• Workshops for parents/guardians and community members promoting active parent/family engagement and parent/guardians/community partnerships
• Access to technology to access Home Access Center to stay informed about attendance and grades, on-line registration, meal application and bus finder
• A collection of all age level books to encourage the love of reading and learning (as donations are made)

Books! Please consider donating new and used books to the Community Learning Center. They can be dropped off at Doris Miller Middle School. Your donations will benefit students and parents/guardians in the SMCISD.

Doris Miller Middle School is proud to offer the opportunity to every parent/guardian to be involved in your child’s education through our Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) Program.  Volunteer a little or volunteer a lot!  Whatever your interests, schedule, or talents allow, we have a place for you!
