Good evening Meadowside Families
We had a great time celebrating DOT DAY today -- thank you Mrs. Serviss and Mr. Hidalgo -- as we celebrated creativity, courage and celebration all inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ tale, “The Dot.” We were seeing dots and spots all day!

All conferences will be in person unless a parent/guardian requests a Google Meet link directly from the teacher. If you prefer a virtual session, please contact the teacher to request a Google Meet link to conduct your conference virtually after you have confirmed your conference time through My Conference Time Online Scheduler. We are looking forward to meeting with you to discuss your child’s learning! Please note that on all three conference days we will have a modified early dismissal time to accommodate the conference schedule. Therefore, students will be dismissed on October 18th, October 19th, and October 20th at 1:15pm.
Attendance and Dismissal Reminders: If your child is absent, please log in and report their absence through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. If you have a change in dismissal, please remember to send in a note, or email your child’s teacher and our secretary Miss Jones (jjones@milforded.org) and our greeter Mrs. Megan Ansaldo (mansaldo@milforded.org). It is important to email all three in the case that one or more of our staff is absent that day. Additionally, please be patient with us as we ask for IDs at the beginning of the year. It is important that our staff can confirm who you are prior to releasing your child -- this is for the safety and protection of our students. As we get to know you, we won’t ask for your identification every time - however, if our regular staff is out, we will need to do so again.
