Staff Appreciation week will be held May 2nd-May 6th. Be on the lookout for an email from your Room Parent with details as to how you can help celebrate your teacher. We are very excited to be able to show our appreciation in person and the PTA has a week of treats and fun planned. You can help with our weeklong Gift Card raffle. The PTA is requesting donations of $10 gift cards. Mrs. Whitaker has done this raffle herself in the past and the students found it to be so much fun. The PTA wants to do it again in a bigger, and even more exciting way. The office staff will be pulling names throughout the week on the loudspeaker. We would like to make sure that we have plenty of gift cards so that everyone on the staff gets one. If you would like to contribute, please send a $10 gift card in with your child to be delivered to the main office (ideas include - but are not limited to - Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Scratch Bakery, Target, Staples, Gas Stations, etc.).

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!
