Milford’s 4th Annual Frosty Fest: One thing is for certain…Milford loves to celebrate the holidays. What better way to show your community spirit and bring some good cheer than by buying and decorating your very own snowperson to be featured on the downtown Milford Green!

Kindergarten Registration for 2024-2025: Greetings, MPS Families! We are pleased to announce that Kindergarten Registration for the 2024-2025 school year opened on Monday, November 13, 2023. 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. You must register your child for Kindergarten at the school determined by your street address, unless placed by Pupil Personnel Services. School/Street Assignments are available on the district website under “District Information.” Children born on or before September 1, 2019 are eligible to register for Kindergarten. If your child is not age eligible (born September 2, 2019 through December 31, 2019), please use the online registration form to request a waiver. Any current MPS Preschool or Ready To Learn (RTL) students will need to complete an online registration form. If you need assistance with the registration portal, please contact the main office of your district assigned school. School contact information can be found on the district website under “ Schools.” We are excited for your children to join us! Fully registered families, please be on the lookout for more information from your school’s Principal about an in person kindergarten event in the spring. In the meantime, click here for a sneak peek of what to expect in Kindergarten! We look forward to welcoming the Class of 2037!

We try our best to capture as much of our kiddos as we can throughout the day. Please follow us! Click on the below icons to access ESMS Instagram (IG), FaceBook (FB), and X accounts:

If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s team leader and of course, always feel free to call or email me anytime at scarlson@milforded.org or Mr. Genova at jgenova@milforded.org, or by phone at 203-783-3559.

As always, we appreciate your ongoing support and collaboration in creating a positive and enriching learning environment for our students. We want, need, and value your involvement, partnership, and support in your child’s education! Thanks so much for your continued support
