 Kindergarten Registration:  Click here for more information. A note regarding the Kindergarten waiver for those with birthdays between September and December -   the December assessment appointment window is closed for those families that have requested a waiver for their child to enter into Kindergarten for the 2024 - 2025 school year.  If you requested a waiver, but did not have the opportunity to schedule a December appointment, you will receive a communication in the near future to make an appointment for the next Kindergarten waiver assessment. The online Kindergarten registration will remain open, if you  have not had the opportunity to register, please do so.

Math News: Room 17 and the Milford Arts Council have designed an event to showcase that Math is EVERYWHERE! Children (“artists”) in grades K-12 can use various media (Music, Digital Media, Dance, Photography, Painting Sculpting..etc.) to create a piece and share how they incorporated math.

Artists will be invited to The MAC on March 24th, 2024 to share their creation with our community and  their  family members. Judges will be visiting all artists and selecting finalists and winners. Prizes will be awarded.  New this year, we will have CASH prizes for our grades 6-12 winner(s)! Finalists and winners will have their work displayed at The Walnut Beach Coffee House for a period of time after the event. Last year we received news coverage as well! 

We encourage EVERYONE to save the date and stop by to support youth education and the arts! See attached photos and a few submissions from last year!
