TRANSPORTATION

Bus registration for the 21-22 School Year will open on Monday, June 7, and close on June 18. A few important details:

• All families wishing to have students ride the bus in the 2021-2022 school year must register to ride regardless of ridership in the 2020-2021 school year and regardless of distance from school.

• Completing registration prior to June 18th DOES NOT guarantee a seat on the bus for students in Grades K to 6 living less than 2 miles from school or any student in Grades 7 to 12 as spots will be filled based on distance from school with priority given to students living farthest from their assigned school on each route. 

• All applicable bus fees must be paid at the time of registration in June 2021. If payment is an obstacle, please register your child and then email bus@miltonps.org to arrange later payment. Do not delay registration due to a later payment plan.

• In the 21-22 school year, we will follow any safety protocols as directed by DESE. 

The full transportation letter with links to register can be found here and will be sent via email. 

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.   Each module includes important topics your student will potentially be expected to use.  Some modules are grade level specific.  If the topic does not apply to all levels, the level that it applies to will be listed below the topic.   When possible, students will be able to view both video tutorials and text-based tutorials.  In some cases only video or text tutorials are available.  Here is a link to the Student Technology Boot Camp.
