Question 1

Answer 1
The most reliable and up-to-date information concerning school cancellations, delayed openings and early dismissals can be obtained at the following: Log on to the Internet to site http://www.milforded.org. Call the Milford Board of Ed at 783-3400 for a recorded message after 6:15am. Listen to your local radio stations (WICC, WEZN, WAVZ, and WPLR) and/or television newscasts (WTNH-TV, WVIT-TV, or Channel 12 News). We ask that you please avoid calling the school office for school closing information. As a last resort, you can call the school at 783-3537. Option 3 on the voice mail system gives you weather related early dismissals or cancellations. We prefer you use this as a last resort as we only have two phone lines entering the school and in case of emergency, we try to keep these lines open.
Question 2

Answer 2
Orange Avenue School will begin at 10:00am. However, parents should continue to check the website or listen to announcements as weather conditions may require that a delay be changed to a full cancellation. All Milford Public Schools will have a 90 minute delayed opening.
Question 3

Answer 3
Orange Avenue School will dismiss at 1:00pm. When afternoon sessions are to be canceled, please check the website or listen to the stations listed above.
Question 4

Answer 4
My child is going home to a classmate's house which requires him / her to be dismissed a different way than usual. What should I do? A note must be brought to school with your child stating that you have given your permission for him / her to go home by alternate means. If an emergency occurs during the day that requires you to make other plans for your child, you may call the school office and we will pass the information on to your child as well as their teacher.
Question 5

Answer 5
Yes. All absences must be phoned into the school nurse, Mrs. Kaminski at 783- 3713 or the main office as soon as possible on the day of the absence. When your child returns back to school following an absence, they must bring in a note explaining the nature of the absence. If your child is under the care of your doctor, please bring in a note from the doctor.
Question 6

Answer 6
Homework pick-up can be arranged through the main office. When you are calling in your child absent, please let me know at that time if you are requesting homework. You can pick it up at the end of the day or ask another student to bring it home.
Question 7

Answer 7
The person in charge of our lunchroom accounts is Tami Ciolino. She can be reached by dialing 783-3610. Mrs. Ciolino can give you a computerized printout of your child's account activity if you so desire.
Question 8

Answer 8
Orange Avenue School has two phone lines coming into the school. When both of these lines are busy, voice mail automatically picks up the call. Voice mail messages are checked frequently.
Question 9

Answer 9
I have sent a note to school reporting that I will be picking up my child rather than them taking the bus, where do I meet my child after school? The Orange Avenue walker exit is located in the first parking lot closest to the thruway overpass. All walker students are dismissed from that exit.
Question 10

Answer 10
My child has a dentist/doctor appointment in the middle of the school day, how do I go about getting them dismissed early? If at all possible please have your child bring a note to school stating that they will be dismissed early. You must come to the main office to pick up your child and sign them out of school. Please do not go directly to your child's classroom, as this is a disruption for the rest of the class.
Question 11

Answer 11
My child forgot their homework, lunch etc. at home and I need to bring it to the school. Can I go directly to the classroom and drop it off? No. All forgotten items must be left in the main office. I will notify your child that they have a delivery in the main office.
Question 12

Answer 12
I have signed up to volunteer for an activity in my child's classroom. What procedure should I follow when I arrive at the school? You must sign in at the main office and receive a visitor's pass. Don't forget to sign out in the main office when you leave.
Question 13

Answer 13
You must discuss this with your child's classroom teacher. There is always a possibility that one of your child's classmates has a food allergy or a medical condition that needs to be considered.
Question 14

Answer 14
The school nurse, Mrs. Kaminski, may be reached by dialing 783-3713.
Question 15

Answer 15
Orange Avenue School’s fax number is 783-3619. Also, be sure to use the FACULTY menu on the home page for other phone numbers and email address information.
Question 16

Answer 16
I received a phone call from the school with an important message, but for some reason I didn't hear the message or I want to hear it again, what can I do? All you need to do is call l-877-737-5291. The ConnectEd message will play again in its entirety for you. Keep this number handy in your wallet as an extra measure for convenience.
