Good Afternoon Meadowside Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at parent conferences this week! We truly value the opportunity to connect with our families and partner together in supporting each child’s growth throughout the year. If you have a moment and would like to give a special shout-out to a staff member or team, please click HERE to share what makes them so special—we love celebrating our community!

Reminder: There will be no school tomorrow in observance of Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr is an important holiday celebrated by many in our community, marking the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, reflection, and prayer. It is a time for gratitude, generosity, and gathering with family and friends.  Wishing all who celebrate a joyful Eid!

Have a great long weekend and we'll see everyone Monday!  

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!
