Automobiles at Schools
Students who drive a personal vehicle to school must register their car with school security. Upon registering with the school, the student will be advised of the rules associated with this privilege and issued a parking permit. Permits must be displayed on the passenger side of the front windshield. Illegally parked vehicles will be ticketed (payable to Milford Police Dept.) and/or towed at the owner’s expense. Failure to obey rules may result in the loss of driving privileges. In addition, students face disciplinary actions up to and including suspension for any violation.
1st offense: Loss of driving privileges on school grounds for one semester.
2nd offense: Loss of driving privileges for one year.

Bikes/Skateboards/Scooters
Only students in Grade 3 and beyond may ride their bicycles to school. By Connecticut state law, all bicycle riders must wear a helmet. All riders are to walk their bicycles once on school property and park them at the bicycle rack. Bikes are to be locked at all times.

Parents Transporting Students
Your school administrators will communicate the specific procedures in place for your school. It is important to read this information carefully and follow these procedures. The first few weeks of school may be unfamiliar, especially for new parents to your school. Please remember to treat fellow parents with patience and in the spirit of cooperation.
If you can’t pick up your child promptly, please make other arrangements. This is for the safety of your child. When it is necessary for a parent to pick up a student during regular school hours, parents must visit the school greeter or security staff first. The student will then be called to the main office for dismissal.
Double parking is strictly prohibited. We ask for your help in these matters since the safety and protection of our children is our primary goal.
