Dear Calf Pen Meadow Families,

We had such a wonderful time at the Winter Chorus Concert this week! Our 4th and 5th graders shined on stage - huge shoutout to Mr. Nunno for conducting a fabulous concert.  I am looking forward to hearing our students sing again during our December All School Gathering in a few weeks.

Looking ahead, we hope to see many of you at our PTA meeting on Tuesday. A reminder that Fire Prevention Posters are due next Wednesday for our 4th and 5th graders. We’re also excited for Barnes & Noble Night on Thursday and our schoolwide PJ Day on Friday.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Stay warm!

Annamaria Simonelli

🚒Emergency Drills

Conducting emergency drills (fire, crisis, lockdown, etc.) is one of the most important ways we enhance our preparedness for students and staff during an emergency. Drills allow us to practice what we need to do when an emergency arises in our school. 

 Next week we 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.  Please discuss the importance of our emergency drills with your children.  If you have any feedback please reach out to asimonelli@milforded.org. We thank you for your cooperation and partnership in making our schools a safer place for learning.
