Got questions? Milford School District back-to-school guide

Here’s a primer for Back to School 2024 for the Milford School District.

As Milford School District students gear up for the school year, that last week of August is barreling toward them. 

However, students come back at various times. 

Students who are in kindergarten, first grade, sixth grade and ninth grade have a full transition day on Tuesday, Aug. 27. 

The remaining students all come back the next day, Wednesday Aug. 28. 

The district has a back-to-school guide on its website that includes information on transportation, state/end times of school days and reminders about dress code. 

There’s also the following meet-and-greet opportunities for families to get to know their teacher.
