Dear MSD Buccaneers Families,
As we enter our third marking period, we are thrilled to highlight the many things we love about Milford School District! Throughout our newsletter you will find examples of not only our student successes but also our staff successes. From our overall students academic progress, increase in daily attendance rate, recent visual and performing art performances, the competitive BUC pride and spirit demonstrated by our winter sports teams to our Multilingual learners who participated in our annual ML Olympics event, we are beaming with pride! We are incredibly grateful for your continued support as we continue to chart the course to excellence throughout Milford School District and our greater community.
With gratitude,
The MSD Leadership Team
Academic Excellence
- Testing - Every year students in every Delaware public school are given assessments in various content areas to measure how much they have learned from the instructional material taught by their teacher(s). These assessments are also a measure of a student's proficiency in a subject and/or against State standards. Most assessments occur each spring. Click here for helpful information and resources.
- Congratulations to our MP2 Honor Roll students!
