Milford Back to School Information

Beginning Tuesday, Aug. 22^nd

Classroom Teacher Assignments, Bus Routes Released.  Once your preliminary work has been completed, it will make quick work of it for you to log on (beginning Tuesday, August 22^nd) and find out your child’s classroom teacher assignment and his/her bus route (if eligible). Opening the Portal using this 2-stage process has helped mitigate the substantial traffic that our system experiences when parents are logging on to find out their child’s teacher assignment.

If you need help or are experiencing a problem logging in, please call our BIDS department at (203) 783-3446.

When is the first day of school?  Wednesday, August 30, 2023

Friendly Reminder: No Food or Drink on School Buses

Just a friendly reminder this year.  Food and drinks are not allowed on our school buses when students are being transported to or from school.  Consuming these items while in transit can cause a safety concern; your bus driver will be reminding you as the school year gets underway.

Chromebook Insurance: You Can Renew Right on the Parent Portal

Our low-cost Chromebook Insurance program is WELL worth the annual renewal fee ($25 per year).  If you’ve got kids, then you already know there’s always the potential for something to happen to the Chromebook during the year: lost (~$230 replacement cost), replacement mainboard (~$90), cracked screen (~$40), broken hinges (~$15), or broken keyboard (~$60), just to name a few.  For $25, you can have peace of mind and save a lot of aggravation when something goes wrong.  You can reserve your Chromebook insurance right on your Parent Portal account.  If you have any questions, please contact our BIDS dept. at (203) 783-3446.
