The online bus registration for the 2023-2024 school year is open!

ANYONE who needs their student to take the bus MUST register this year, even if you receive the bus for free and/or live more than 2 miles from school.

** REGISTRATION IS ON A FIRST COME/FIRST SERVE - SPACE IS FILLING UP FAST **

REGISTER HERE: https://forms.gle/c2sRQ3KcTLtCwE7L6

BUS FEES

1st Child $270.00
2nd Child, 3rd, 4th each $220.00

Families may apply for a fee waiver in July.

Even if your student has recieved free bus in the past, you MUST REGISTER FOR THE BUS.

Why? This allows us to know how many seats are available for the other students. Not all students who live more than 2 miles from school take the bus to school. It is difficult for us to know how many seats are left for those who live less than 2 miles. Please register for the bus so we can have a better estimate.

Green Meadow School

Many students have joined the BASEC and/or Boy’s and Girl’s Club during the school year and continue through the summer months. Based upon information from last year’s summer programming, the Green Meadow Elementary School will be scheduling an Integrated PK session to run from July 5 - August 3, 2023 (Monday-Thursday) and an English Learner (K-3) program from July 5 - July 27 (Monday-Thursday). The programs will be based on the availability of staffing.

Maynard High School

Maynard High School proposes offering three summer programs. One program is designed to support EL students, another program is a credit recovery Summer School, and the third program is a theater program.

The EL enrichment program would be for 10 days in July on July 5-6, 10-13, and 17-20 from 8:30-12:30. Breakfast and lunch would be prepared by students as a learning and socialization activity each day.

The Summer School Credit Recovery program would run from July 10th through July 28th, Monday through Friday. Hours would be from 8:30-11:45 for students, with two sessions per day separated by a short break.

A high school summer theater workshop would run from Monday, July 31st through August 11th from 8:00 am-Noon.

If you live with food allergies, every meal can be a worry. Whitson's, our food service provider, is trying to reduce that worry with allergy-friendly food signage. In the cafeteria, look for signs like this. It clearly lists the allergens in the dish. The online menu, linked below, shows allergens, and is also interactive, allowing students to review the dishes and leave feedback. Whitson's hopes this information makes it easier to plan ahead for each week's meals, especially for those managing a food allergy.

The Green Meadow Elementary School project team has submitted its second MSBA submission! This submission is called the Preferred Schematic Report (PSR) and it advances the initial existing conditions verification, educational visioning & programming and Owner / Community coordination into multiple design alternatives, shows MSBA the design alternative evaluation process taken by the project team, and highlights which design alternative was ultimately selected at the end of the process.

Below is a link to a Google Drive folder that contains the previous Preliminary Design Program (PDP) submission as well as the recent PSR submission. As always, we thank you very much for your attention to the project, and we’ll continue to keep you informed as the project moves along the MSBA process!
