Access the Milton Public Schools Family Technology Support Help Center website to troubleshoot potential issues with, and/or educate yourself about, a device/ platform/application for which you are not familiar. 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 families are highly encouraged to purchase insurance for their school-issued Chromebook for the 2021-22 school year. Families who decline to purchase the insurance for the Chromebook are responsible for damage beyond reasonable wear and tear as outlined in the Loan Agreement. The cost of insurance is $30/year, and it covers unlimited claims with no deductible. Please click on the following link to purchase insurance for your student. After registering for insurance, you will receive an email that includes an invoice and payment information. If you wish to purchase insurance for another child, you will need to repeat this process. Thank you for considering the purchase of accidental damage coverage for your student’s Chromebook.

All students and families of students are required to sign the Chromebook Loan Agreement. Here is a link to the Elementary digital Chromebook Loan Agreements.

Up to date Physical Exams are required for entrance to MPS at any grade level, as well as for currently enrolled rising Kindergarten, 4th grade, 7th grade and 11th grade students. Up to date immunizations are required for entry to MPS and to participate in all after school activities. Please forward this to your student’s school nurse. Details on immunization requirements for School Entry can be found here.

This section of the mps website provides information about the important work underway throughout the Milton Public Schools to build an anti-racism school district, in which all learners reach their full academic and personal potential in safe, welcoming, equitable, inclusive learning environments.

This section highlights earlier, ongoing, and upcoming work in:

• Anti-Racism
• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
• Cultural Competency
• Prevention of harassment, bullying, and discrimination
• Related issues about positive school culture and climate

Please take some time to review this Arrival and Dismissal Protocol. It contains visuals that will be helpful for families, particularly those planning to arrive via the live car line. We will continue to have three forms of arrival: walking, bus, and car line. All walkers will enter through the front doors this year (as opposed to multiple doors last year). All bus students will continue to arrive via the front circle and enter through the front doors. All car line students will continue to snake through the front parking lot and into the back parking lot where they will disembark with the support of staff and enter through the back school doors.You can watch our kick-off video here.
