Grade 5 Residency Verification:

This fall the Weymouth School Committee updated Policy JF: School Admissions to require a verification of residency for students in Grade 5. Families of students in Grade 5 will need to re-establish residency in Weymouth before transitioning to the Maria Weston Chapman Middle School next year. This procedure will enable our district to maintain accurate residency and registration data while confirming continued enrollment eligibility.

More information can be found here: Gr. 5 Residency Verification

Required proof of residency documents must be submitted between January 12, 2026, and May 29, 2026. Failure to complete residency verification by May 29, 2026 may affect your child’s enrollment, and they may not have a schedule or be able to participate in school activities at the start of the 2026-2027 school year.

Weymouth Public Schools Wraparound Resource Center offers an ongoing, free, in-person support group for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.

Dates will tentatively 3/9-4/17. Clubs can be offered 7:50-8:50 or 3:15-4:15. The new cost for clubs will be $30 a student and clubs will not run if there are less than 10 students enrolled.

Attendance Call Procedures

Please refer to our absence call procedure for when your child is not attending school.

Dismissal Procedure - Parents

We will have a very busy front door this year. If you are a parent waiting for Grades 1-5 students please be aware of your surroundings. Before students who are walkers are released, we will be boarding vans. We need a clear path for these students to get to their transportation home.

When you are exiting the area, please walk along the sidewalk to the crosswalk. We have staff stationed here to assist with you safely crossing. Entering the driveway anywhere but the crosswalk is not safe with cars, vans, and buses moving through.

Attendance Counts

Having students at school and on time daily is a major part of having a successful school year both academically and socially emotionally. Please send your child to school every day, unless they have any of the prohibited symptoms. Let us know how we can help if attendance is a concern for your family.

Lunch & Breakfast

Students may bring their lunch from home or choose from the daily menu. Breakfast will be grab and go and lunch will have hot and cold options. All students will have access to meals at no cost.

Bus Expectations

We want to remind families that riding the bus is a privilege and that safety for all students is extremely important. We will continue to review behavior expectations and adjust individual plans as necessary so that all students are having a safe and enjoyable transportation experience.
