Fun Run Fundraising Update:  Top fundraisers for now - Bannon, Lipp & Buckheit.  Who will take the lead???

                                                      

Bus evacuation:  Conducting emergency drills (fire, crisis, lockdown, etc.) is one of the most important ways we enhance our preparedness for students and staff during an emergency. Drills allow us to practice what we need to do when an emergency arises in our school. 

Earlier this week, Calf Pen Meadow School conducted a School Bus Evacuation drill. This was only a drill and was in accordance with the School Incident Management Protocols established by the district, in partnership with our student transportation provider.  I am pleased to report that the drill was a success. It was efficient and timely.  If you have any feedback please reach out to jwhitaker@milforded.org.   I want to thank our students and staff for their interest and participation in making our schools a safer place for learning.
