Dear Milford School Community:

We are excited to welcome back staff and students after their winter break. The New Year is a fresh start and a great time to re-commit ourselves to the goals we set at the beginning of the school year. As parents, staff, and students, we must focus on finishing the school year with determination and enthusiasm.

SMART GOALS
As a district and in each of our buildings, we have set SMART goals to drive continuous improvement.
Our goals are:
•Strategic and Specific
•Measurable
•Attainable
•Results-based
•Time-bound

Milford’s SMART goals were written by building and district-level leadership teams and provide a way to link learning and improvement with valuable tools, processes, and methods. To view the district’s SMART goals and each building’s SMART goals go to the following link on our website: http://www.milfordschools.org/content_page2.aspx?cid=418

MILFORD EAGLES SHOWCASE
Help us share our success stories. Every day, Milford staff, students, and alumni are sharing their talents and achieving success both in and out of the classroom.  Our goal is to share these stories through our website, news media, and social media so we can continue to build Milford Eagle Pride. If you have an idea for our Milford Eagles Showcase, please share it with us through the following link found on the home page of our website:

MOVING FORWARD
We appreciate the 1,900 individuals who participated in the online survey on budget reductions. The Board will be reviewing these results before making their final decisions about the reductions.  The Board has difficult decisions ahead. The first decision is whether or not to put a levy on the ballot in May and determining the millage amount.  For a May levy request, the Board must pass two resolutions by January 25, 2013. The amount of budget reductions will also be voted upon in January.  The Board of Education meeting dates for 2013 will be determined at the annual organizational meeting on Tuesday, January 8, 2013. We will continue to update you on our finances and the Board’s decision on an upcoming levy via our website, Facebook page (Milford_Schools), Twitter (Milford_Schools), C-notify, and school newsletters.

We appreciate your support and look forward to a successful finish to the school year.

Sincerely,

Dr. Robert Farrell
Superintendent
