Food Service - Summer 2021

MPS Food Service is open EVERY Wednesday this summer!

• What? MPS Weekly Drive Through Food Pick Up
• Who? All families with children up to age 21
• When? Every Wednesday from 11am-12:30pm
• Where? Milton High School, 25 Gile Rd.
• What? 10 lb. box of fresh produce, 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches and quarts of milk

We ask that you enter from Blue Hills Parkway and come up the hill on the MHS campus. Take the first left after the front of the building and come down the hill to the side of the field house.

We will be open every Wednesday, all summer long.

Transportation 

Late Registration to ride the bus for the 2021-2022 school is now open and can be found at this link. Please read all details on the registration form before registering your child. 

The MPS Transportation Department is working on rider seat assignments and expects this will be completed by August 9th. Families will receive an email no later than August 13th confirming ridership or placement on the waitlist.  Bus passes will be mailed the week of August 23rd.  

Seat assignments will be made consistent with the procedures used for the 2020-2021 school year. In accordance with MA State Guidelines, MPS guarantees free transportation for students in Kindergarten through sixth grade who live two miles or more from their assigned school using Google Maps. The remaining seats will be filled based on distance from school with priority given to students living farthest from their assigned school on each route. Seats on the bus are limited and we expect MPS will not be able to accommodate all requests. We are asking for parent/guardian support and cooperation as we deal with the challenges of transportation by encouraging families with alternative transportation to utilize these methods to allow MPS to accommodate those families without other means of transportation.

Residency Re-establishment 

The Milton Public School Residency Policy states that students in the Milton Public Schools and Out of District placements shall be required to re-establish residency prior to entering grade 6 and grade 9 and for students who attend Blue Hills Regional Technical School or Norfolk Agricultural School every year regardless of grade level. A letter has been sent via email to all families who must re-establish residency and it is linked here.  Please see our most recent communication here. The MPS Re-establish Residency Packet can be found here. Residency re-establishment should be completed by June 28. 

MPS Summer - Technology

Over the summer many students will take advantage of the virtual learning opportunities Milton Public Schools has provided.  This is a reminder to access the Milton Public Schools Family Technology Support Help Center website to troubleshoot potential issues with a device/platform, or to educate yourself with a platform/application that you are unfamiliar with.  The site provides information on PlusPortal, Google, Clever, Guardian Monitoring, Who to Contact, and more.

In an effort to help prepare students for the 2021-22 school year, we invite all students to complete the Student Technology Boot Camp.  The modules will help students become more comfortable with the platforms/applications that will be used throughout this school year.  

All students are highly encouraged to obtain insurance for their school-issued Chromebook for the 2021-22 school year. Details can be found at this link.
