NEWS
Milford Public Schools ‘Podcast’ Launched Today – Check it out!
This clearly was the big news for today as we proudly launched our brand new Podcast series: Most Prevailing Stories (MPS!). Starting today, you can hear all the news we have to share. Episodes are short (approx. 20 minutes or less) and will follow a 2-week rotation, with new info included in each edition. So – get ready to plug in those headphones when you’re taking a walk, working out, or commuting to work each day and enjoy the Most Prevailing Stories coming from the Milford Public Schools!
Today’s installment kicks off with some quick sports updates from Foran and Law athletics, followed by the recent Pumpkin Delight Groundbreaking that took place last week.
You can listen anywhere you get your podcasts, as our installments will be published to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, and Google Podcasts! Enjoy!

Open House ‘Season’ Concludes Next Week
From the comments we’ve gathered over the past 2 weeks, parents have thoroughly enjoyed this time-honored tradition of being able to walk the halls of their child's school. We thank all the parents and guardians who took the time to visit and urge you to stay involved in your child’s school all year long.
Next week, there’s only 1 left – Jonathan Law’s Open House will take place on Thursday, Sept. 29th.
SAVE THE DATE! Parent Teacher Conferences Coming in October
We are pleased to report our Parent Teacher Conferences are back – and In-Person (unless you request a Google Meet from the teacher in advance). This year’s conference dates are:
Wednesday, October 19th (Early Dismissal – All Students)
Thursday, October 20th (Early Dismissal – All Students)
Friday, October 21st (Early Dismissal - Elementary Only)
You will once again be able to reserve your appointment through the My Conference Time link (will be available on your school’s website from 10/7 through 10/17). Mark your calendars now so you can reserve your appointment early.
Early Dismissal Times Slightly Altered For Conference Days
Please note that during Conference Days, we need to implement modified early dismissal time to accommodate the conferences. Of course, we will remind everyone as we get closer, but if you’re a ‘planner’ – here are the times by level.
