Calf Pen Meadow Elementary School

We have had an exciting month of spirit days!  Here are a few pictures of Animal Print Day! 

     

                                                                         

Fall Performances-  We are excited to announce that we will have a fall  performance for 5th grade families.   Please see the flyer for details. 

Costume Parade - On Friday, October 29th students will be able to wear their costumes and participate in a brief parade outside with their grade level. Families will be invited to attend in a designated viewing area. More information including specific COVID safety protocols for visitors and students can be found here.  - Elementary 2021 Costume Parade

Drills:  Conducting emergency drills (fire, crisis, lockdown, etc.) is one of the most important ways we help keep students and staff safe during an emergency. Drills allow us to practice what we need to do when an emergency arises in our school. This year, Milford Public Schools will incorporate COVID-19 health and safety practices during these drills.  During an actual emergency, however, evacuation and safety are the school district's first priorities and social distancing only will be enforced once students and staff are in a safe location. 

Next week Calf Pen Meadow School will be conducting a fire drill. This will only be a drill and will be conducted in accordance with the School Incident Management Protocols established by

the district, and in collaboration with our local first responders. Students engaged in distance learning for the day of the drill will not participate in the drill, but live meet schedules may be adjusted for this day.  

Please discuss the importance of our emergency drills with your children.  We thank you for your cooperation and partnership with keeping our schools safe!
