I am your Military Family Liaison here at Milam Elementary. My main role here at Milam is to be an advocate for our military-connected students and parents. I can assist you with locating points of contact in the local community as well as the military community. My primary duties include:

· Serving as the point of contact and working collaboratively between military-connected students and their families and the campus.

· Maintaining familiarity with enrollment processes, records transfer, existing community resources, and student supports.

· Ensuring military-connected students are identified and properly coded through the Texas Student Data System Public Education Information Management System (TSDS PEIMS).

· Determining campus-based supports and services available to military-connected students based on their unique needs, including their high mobility.

· Assisting in coordinating campus-based programs relevant to military-connected students

· Attending professional development or training annually to learn and understand topics related to the transition of military-connected students and their families.

My family and I moved to El Paso in 2022, and we quickly fell in love with the community here. I have been a military wife for 13 years, and I love everything about the military lifestyle. I have raised two children through the DOD school system and am currently raising two children through EPISD.

I am looking forward to meeting and working with all of you and your children. If there is anything that I can help you with, please don’t hesitate to call me at the school at (915) 236-0325 or e-mail me at cmbawden@episd.org.
