The trot raised more than $7,800 to support student and staff incentives for Calf Pen Meadow PTA and provided non perishables to the Purple Pantry. Big shoutout to Tor Blackstad for the endless hours of planning, posting updates, more planning and supporting the CPM PTA through all of his efforts! Thanks Tor!!! #cpmproud

Drill 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!
