How can I find out if school is cancelled?
Log on to the Internet to site http://www.milforded.org.
-- OR --
Call the Milford Board of Ed at 783-3400 for a recorded message after 6:15am.
Listen to your local radio stations (WICC, WEZN, WAVZ, and WPLR) and/or
television newscasts (WTNH-TV, WVIT-TV, or Channel 12 News).
Please avoid calling the school office for school closing information. We
prefer you use this as a last resort as we only have two phone lines entering
the school and in case of emergency, we try to keep these lines open.
--------------------------------------
What time does school start if there is a delayed opening?
Calf Pen Meadow Elementary School will begin at 10:00am. However, parents
should continue to check the website or listen to announcements as weather
conditions may require that a delay be changed to a full cancellation. All
Milford Public Schools will have a 90 minute delayed opening.
--------------------------------------
What time will school end if there is an early dismissal?
Calf Pen Meadow Elementary School will dismiss at 1:00pm. When afternoon
sessions are to be cancelled, please check the website or listen to the
stations listed above.
--------------------------------------
I need my child dismissed in a different way than usual.
My child is going home to a classmate's house which requires his/her to be
dismissed a different way than usual. What should I do? A note must be
brought to school with your child stating that you have given your
permission for him/her to go home by alternate means. The person taking your
child MUST be on your emergency card, or you child cannot be released to
him/her. If an emergency occurs during the day that requires you to make
other plans for your child, you may call the school office and we will pass
the information on to your child as well as their teacher.
--------------------------------------
Do I have to report my child's absence?
All absences must be phoned into the main office (783-3521) or to the school
nurse (882-2172) as soon as possible on the day of the absence. When your
child returns back to school following an absence, they must bring in a note
explaining the nature of the absence. If your child is under the care of
your doctor, please bring in a note from the doctor.
--------------------------------------
Can I request homework be sent home to my child when they are ill?
Homework pick-up can be arranged through the main office at 783-3521. We ask
that you request work after two days' absence. When you are calling in your
child's absence, please let us know at that time if you are requesting
homework. You can pick it up at the end of the day or ask another student to
bring it home.
--------------------------------------
Who do I speak with about my child's lunch account?
The person in charge of our lunchroom accounts is our kitchen manager,
Barbara Mazzucco. She can be reached by dialing 783-3612. Mrs. Mazzucco can
give you a computerized printout of your child's account activity, if you so
desire.
--------------------------------------
My child has an appointment during the school day.
My child has a dentist/doctor appointment in the middle of the school day.
How do I go about getting him/her dismissed early? If at all possible please
have your child bring a note to school stating that they will be dismissed
early. You must come to the main office to pick up your child and sign them
out of school. Please do not go directly to your child's classroom, as this
is a disruption for the rest of the class.
--------------------------------------
My child has forgotten their lunch, homework, etc., at home.
My child forgot their homework, lunch etc. at home and I need to bring it to
the school. Can I go directly to the classroom and drop it off?
No. All forgotten items must be left in the main office. We will notify your
child that they have a delivery in the main office.
--------------------------------------
What is the procedure for volunteering at or visiting the school?
You must sign in at the main office and receive a visitor's pass. Don't
forget to sign out in the main office when you leave.
--------------------------------------
Can I bring a treat for my child's birthday celebration to school?
You must discuss this with your child's classroom teacher. There is always a
possibility that one of your child's classmates has a food allergy or a
medical condition that needs to be considered.
--------------------------------------
What is the earliest time I can drop off my child at school?
You should not drop off your child(ren) before 8:20am unless you have made
special arrangements with a staff member.
