This event is for adults, only.
54 students from Jonathan Law and Foran High Schools participated in their culminating event for Model UN. Three teams tackled issues of global importance and, in the end, all 3 found compromise and resolutions to 'get the job done.' Great work, all!

54 students from Jonathan Law and Joseph Foran High Schools started the day at Parsons to participate in their culminating event for Model UN. Now in its 2nd year, the program tasks students to represent their assigned country and form opinions and alliances on current world topics. This year, students 'dug deep' into one of 3 topics: Bosnian Genocide peacekeeping efforts, African Union relations with Asia, or the UNESCO literacy rates. Fascinating!
To the Milford Public Schools Community,
Please be advised that the Milford Public Schools will have an EARLY DISMISSAL today, December 18, 2023. This determination is based on the fact that our tides have not receded as expected, and with an additional high tide coming this afternoon, flooding remains as a serious issue for us, especially for student walkers.
There will be no Afternoon Preschool classes today. All PM activities for Milford Public Schools, including Adult Education and all after-school programs (Ready to Learn, YMCA, or Boys & Girls Club) are canceled today. No transportation will be provided for ECA and Bridgeport Aqua students today.
Early dismissal for your school is 2 hours prior to the regular end time:
Elementary 1:25 p.m.
Middle: 12:45 p.m.
High School: 11:58 a.m.
Thank you, and please be safe.

Time to grab that coffee and take a look at all the news you need from MPS! Check out today's Upcoming News & Events: https://www.milforded.org/article/1381138
This joyous group of 'English as a 2nd Language' adult students in our Adult Education program visited with some preschool students yesterday, to share what they've learned so far, in the form of several holiday songs. The kids (AND the adults) LOVED it!
As the pieces fell into place, we recognized the Developmental Relationships Framework, a guiding document across the entire district. Once the puzzle was complete, all teams convened in groups to debrief and discuss how the DRF is connected to our work done at Parsons.
Here are some more! The important part of this challenge was for the blindfolded person to LISTEN carefully to instructions -- and for the speaker to provide CLEAR DIRECTIONS. Really great lessons.
The Central Office staffers participated in a TERRIFIC Team Building exercise this morning at Parsons. 2-person teams, (one blindfolded, the other giving verbal directions) had to navigate to the lobby, find their piece, and place it with the others. But beware the bubble wrap!
Always in our hearts. Remembering Sandy Hook - today and every day.
Here we are, folks! It's Friday and that means it's time to grab yourself a cup of coffee and take a few minutes to read all the great info for MPS next week. Enjoy!
