Heart Highlights

Good Afternoon Meadowside Families, 

We are so looking forward to see everyone at our Meadowside Mash  Trunk or Treat tonight.  The festivities run from 6:00 - 7:30 - See you there!  

If you haven’t done so already, sign up now for Fall 2024 Elementary Conferences.  In addition to signing up to meet with your child’s classroom teacher, you can sign up to meet with our specialist and special education teachers as well as our support staff.   All conferences will be in person unless a  parent/guardian requests a Google Meet link directly from the teacher.  Fall conference sign up  information is  live on our school website  through Monday, October 13th, at 12:00 p.m.  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. 

Please note that we will have a modified early dismissal time on the conference days to accommodate the conference schedule.  Therefore, students will be dismissed on October 15th, October 16th, and October 17th at 1:15pm. 

Lost and Found: Our lost and found is filling up with sweatshirts pretty quickly, please stop by during conferences to see if any belong to your family! 

Fourth and Fifth Grade Minute Meetings: We are excited to share that starting again this fall, our school counselor will meet briefly with all 4th and 5th graders for “Minute Meetings.” These short, individual conversations help us learn more about each student and ensure they feel a strong sense of belonging, connection and support in the Milford Public Schools. Counselors will ask a few simple questions about students’ interests and school experiences to help guide how we support them in their academic and personal growth throughout the year.  If you have questions about Minute Meetings, please contact our School Counselor, Brittany Smith, at brittanysmith@milforded.org

Save the date for our annual Costume Parade: Friday, October 31st at 9:00am! Click here for more details for our families.  

Picture Day is Monday November 3rd!  You can place your order on Lifetouch.com by clicking continue as a guest and entering your Picture Day ID:EVT7J9X2R.

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 Mrs. Donofrio (kdonofrio@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.
