Chromebook Insurance: You Can Renew Right on the Parent Portal Our low-cost Chromebook Insurance program is WELL worth the annual renewal fee ($25 per year). If you’ve got kids, then you already know there’s always the potential for something to happen to the Chromebook during the year: lost (~$230 replacement cost), replacement mainboard (~$90), cracked screen (~$40), broken hinges (~$15), or broken keyboard (~$60), just to name a few. For $25, you can have peace of mind and save a lot of aggravation when something goes wrong. You can reserve your Chromebook insurance right on your Parent Portal account. If you have any questions, please contact our BIDS dept. at (203) 783-3446.
THANK YOU to our awesome PTA for all of the treats this week!

Does Your Child Want to Play an Instrument This Year?
Just a quick reminder … if your child is interested in learning how to play a musical instrument (kids entering Grade 4 and Grade 5), don’t forget to read all the information on the Music Department Website. It is important that you click on the REGISTRATION tab in order to correctly arrange your child’s schedule.
Hello to all parents of strings players,
Please see the attached link to register for 4th and 5th grade strings (violin, viola, cello, bass). I will also have a beginning 5th grade strings class, so beginning 5th grade string players are welcome!
Next week I will be measuring all students for their instrument size. Please look for a welcome email from me explaining how to rent an instrument, what materials to buy (method book, shoulder rest, etc) as well as when we will be beginning our lessons.
My email is cwalker@milforded.org. Please let me know which school, grade, and teacher your child has so I can quickly gather their information. I am at four different elementary schools in the district so that information is very helpful to me.
Thank you so much and I look forward to teaching your children strings!
Sincerely,
Carole Walker
