Calf Pen Meadow Elementary School

4/11/25

The Run Club started today!!! #werunforfun

Drills: 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 fire drill. This was only a drill and was in accordance with the School Incident Management Protocols established by the district, in partnership with our local first responders.  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.   

  For our incoming Kindergarten families who are fully registered or currently in a MPS preschool program, be on the lookout for an email on our Kickoff to Kindergarten school visits in May.  If your child is eligible for Kindergarten but you have not yet registered, please click the link  to register and be included in this Kickoff to Kindergarten experience. 

Grade 5 Families - Information was sent to families regarding the selection of Music and World Language classes for 6th grade. Please review the linked documents and make your selections.
