First things first.  Make sure the rotors are clean.  You can spray them 
down with water or you can get a can of brake parts cleaner.

If that doesn't fix it you can pull your pads and grind a chamfer on the 
leading edge.

Are there shims available for this application?

Ultimately, you can change pads to another material.  Pad material can have 
an influence on whether they squeal or not.
