CPM 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.
Please join us on Tuesday, March 1 for our virtual Family Literacy Night! See our flier for details and links.

If you have a child who will be starting Kindergarten in the fall, registration information will be posted to the district website www.milforded.org on February 22, 2022. You must register your child for Kindergarten at the school determined by your street address, unless placed by Pupil Personnel Services.
