Calf Pen Meadow Families:
Read Across America - Every year, the month of March is National Reading Month. The start of this is initiated with ‘Read Across America Day’ on March 2. Many schools choose to engage in activities throughout the week which promote books as windows offering views of the world or mirrors where we allow children to see themselves within their text. Throughout the school year, Milford Public Schools work to help students develop a love of reading and an appreciation for where the pages of a book can take you.
Vaccination Clinics: We wanted to remind everyone that the district, in partnership with Griffin hospital, has scheduled a series of vaccination clinics for our students aged 5 - 11 at our elementary schools. The second series of clinics is next week. SCHOOL’s clinic is on DATE from 4:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. Pediatric first and second doses will be available. Please click HERE for more information. If you do plan to attend a clinic please be aware of the following:Many schools dismiss and the parking lots are busy until about 3:45 pm. We ask that you please not enter our parking areas before the 3:45 pm time. Buildings will open at 4 pm as we want to keep students safe during dismissal. See below for a listing of the clinics:

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 crisis 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!
