Please visit the MPS Return to School Task Force website linked here for updated news and ongoing resources. The website provides a guide for a safe return to Milton Public Schools.

Upon entering the building, all students in grades K-5 will go directly to their classrooms, where their teacher will be waiting for them. 

You may use the back car line to drop students off in the morning. Please ensure your child is masked and ready to go before your car stops in order to expedite the car line process. We will have staff on duty to monitor the transition into the building, and students may enter through the cafeteria doors or the back door of Cunningham which is Door 11 (if you are used to the back car line, this is the door the students typically enter).These two doors are indicated with yellow stars on the image below. Cars should pull all the way up when engaged in the back car line both at arrival and dismissal.

If you are walking to school or parking your car and escorting your child to school, we ask that students with last names beginning with A-L enter through the gym doors, which are indicated with blue stars on the image below, and students with last names beginning with M-Z enter through Door 3, indicated by a green star on the image below. This will help ensure that there isn't too much traffic in our halls our stairwells.

During arrival, bus students will be arriving in the front circle of Cunningham. After exiting the bus, students in Kindergarten and First Grade will enter through Door 6 (indicated by a pink star on the image below). Students in grades 2-5 will enter through the front doors (indicate by a purple star on the image below).

All arrival points, hallways, and classrooms will be monitored for safety by staff members.

Students can be picked up in the back car line for dismissal. They will exit the building at the end of the day and wait until their car is visible, when a staff member will monitor them entering the car. Cars should pull all the way up when engaged in the back car line both at arrival and dismissal.

Bus students will be escorted to buses by staff members and maintaining safe social distance while waiting for the bus to arrive.

If your student is not going in the back pickup line or on the bus, they are considered a "walker". Walkers will exit the building through the gym. There are three gym doorways, and we will arrange for students to leave through the three doors (indicated by 3 blue stars on the image below) rather than just one to avoid any additional traffic of children waiting to exit the building. Kindergarteners "walkers" will be exiting out the kindergarten door (indicated by a pink star on the image below). As mentioned previously, please ensure you are masked and practicing social distancing while waiting for your children.

Integrated Preschool arrival will take place in the front circle, beginning at 8:30 (AM session) and 12:15 (PM session). Students in the integrated program will be entering through the gym doors (indicated by blue stars on the image below) and monitored by staff members while remaining socially distant in the gym.

Beginning at 8:30, students in Ms. Marissa and Ms. Colleen's program will be escorted into the building through the front doors (indicated by a purple star on the image below) by staff members.

Integrated preschool dismissal will take place at 10:45 (AM) and 2:30 (PM). Students will be dismissed from the gym doors (indicated by blue stars on the image below). Students in Ms. Marissa and Ms. Colleen's preschool class will be dismissed out the front doors of Cunningham (indicated by a purple star on the image below) at 12:00.
