High School Eagle Update
From the Administration
Are you fall real? The End of 1st Quarter is 10-12
As we approach the final days of the first quarter, it's crucial that our Eagles maintain their momentum and finish strong. Although the year got off to a great start, our students must remain focused and ensure that all their work is turned in on time. Let's all work to support our students in achieving their best performances yet! Also, please know that fall break starts on 10-13 and runs until 10-17. Students will return to school on 10-18, so let's make the most of these final days before the break.
Early Dismissal Policy-moving into 2nd quarter
Smartwatches have been added to the cell policy.
Did you know?
**If you have a parking pass, you are subject to our random selection process for our drug & nicotine testing protocol just like any student in an extracurricular activity. RDST Board Policy
Milford High School offers an intervention for students who struggle with nicotine or substance use! Students who violate Milford's nicotine policy can be enrolled in a diversion program instead of receiving formal discipline, and students whose behaviors involve alcohol or controlled substances can receive the help they need. You or your student can contact your grade-level principal if you want to hear more about SUITE - Milford's Substance Use Intervention and Therapeutic Education.
Reminders:
1)Please check your lunch fees.
2)Here is some information on our hall sweeps. These were real this week so become familiar in case your student comes home saying they got swept.
