Preparing for a Successful School Year
Milford Families,
We hope you had a wonderful and restful summer, filled with moments of joy and relaxation. As we embark on a new school year, we are excited to welcome you and your student(s) back to the halls of our buildings! This year, our theme is Believe, as we focus on believing in our students, our staff, and the power of education to shape a brighter and better future.
At Milford, we are committed to Charting the Course to Excellence, together. Whether your child is stepping into the classroom for the first time or returning for another year, we are here to support their journey every step of the way. Our dedicated teachers and staff are ready to inspire, challenge, and nurture each student, helping them to reach their fullest potential.
As we kick off this school year, we encourage you to stay engaged and involved. Your partnership is essential to the success of our students and our district.
Here’s to a productive school year ahead - let’s believe in what we can accomplish together!
