Dear Families,

As we head into the weekend, forecasts are calling for a significant blizzard. We hope all of our Meadowside families stay safe, stay warm, and take every precaution during the storm.

A snowy day is the perfect opportunity to snuggle up with warm blankets, a mug of hot cocoa, and a great book! In fact, we would love you to share any pictures of your family reading together on the snowy day—we love to catch families reading together, as it has such a positive impact on a child’s love of reading and their growth as readers. So snap a picture and send it to me at gkrois@milforded.org and we'll share something small with your child to encourage their continued reading! 

Please keep an eye on district communication channels for any updates or changes to school programming on Monday. Wishing you all a safe and cozy weekend ahead,

Mrs. Gail Krois

Food To Kids is an organization whose mission is to provide free meals to families of children who attend local schools.  If you are interested in learning more about this program or have any additional needs that we might be able to help with, please reach out to our Social Worker Jenna Stanczyk at jstanczyk@milforded.org or our School Counselor Brittany Smith at brittanysmith@milforded.org.

Greetings, MPS Families!

We are pleased to announce that Kindergarten Registration for the 2026-2027  school year opened on Monday, January 12, 2026. 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, 2021 are eligible to register for Kindergarten. If your child is not age eligible (born September 2, 2021 through December 31, 2021), please use the online registration form to request a waiver.   

Any current MPS Preschool or Ready To Learn (RTL) students will not need to complete an online registration form. However, we ask that you complete the Kindergarten Notification Form located in PowerSchool.

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 2039!

Good afternoon Band and Strings students and families

Another reminder that our 4th and 5th Grade Elementary Band and Strings Winter Concert performance will be held this coming Tuesday, January 27, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Jonathan Law High School Auditorium.  

Students should arrive by 5:30 PM to set up and are requested to wear a white or light top and black or dark bottoms.

Families may enter the parking lot entrance by the painted "rock" -- auditorium side directly across from the Taco Bell parking lot.

Don't forget your instrument and music Tuesday evening, think warm thoughts for the weather and I look forward to a nice musical night. 

Thank you,

Brian Boots

We’re excited to invite you to take a few moments to read our CCC Newsletter, filled with helpful resources and fun opportunities for your family! Inside, you’ll find information on free food support through CT FoodShare’s Mobile Pantry, enrollment details and an upcoming open house for the Foran Child Learning Center, and inclusive programs like Milford Adaptive Programs Drama Club. We’re also sharing family-friendly events such as virtual music nights, winter festivals, museum experiences, library museum passes, and more—all designed to support, inspire, and connect our community. If you’re ever looking for additional community resources for your family, we encourage you to visit the CCC webpage, where information is regularly updated to support your needs.

Please remember to send your child in with warm weather wear as we still like to get outside for recess as much as possible.  Please take a moment to label hats, gloves and coats - so that if items are misplaced we can get them back to you and your child! We do have a number of coats and sweatshirts in our lost and found, please reach out if there is something that you are missing.
