Nurse's Notes
Medication Drop-Off Details:
Date and Time: Please bring your child’s medication to the school nurse's office during the elementary open house on Tuesday September 3rd between 4pm and 6pm. If you are unable to come during this time, contact me to arrange an alternative drop-off time. You can also come anytime during the first week of school.
Medication Forms: Ensure that you have completed the necessary medication authorization forms. These forms can be obtained from our school website or directly from the nurse’s office. Also bring the necessary doctor’s order for the medication including any asthma action plans.
Medication Packaging: All medications must be in their original packaging, clearly labeled with your child’s name, the name of the medication, dosage instructions, and the prescribing physician’s information.
Over-the-Counter Medications: If your child requires over-the-counter medications, they must also be accompanied by a completed medication authorization form and a doctor’s order. These medications should be in their original container with the child’s name.
Please reach out with any questions. Looking forward to seeing you all in September!

From the Cafe
We want to update you with exciting news about universal free school meals. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has decided to extend free school meals for all students through the 2024-2025 school year! This means that one breakfast and one lunch will continue to be served at no cost to all students.
For those who qualify (income based) for free and reduced lunch, you should still apply for such since your possible qualification establishes eligibility for P-EBT benefits, waiver fees for bus fees, computer insurance and athletic fees, etc. If this applies to you, please click here to apply online.
If you received an email already stating you are Free or Reduced, please do not apply again. Please check your spam folder.
ASPEN PARENT PORTAL
The Portal for elementary families will open on Monday, August 26, at which time your child’s new teacher will be noted!
New families should have received their login information via email from our Aspen team. Please check your email for your credentials. All families can contact aspen@mpsd.org if you have any questions accessing the parent portal.
**Extremely Important: Please complete the Student Workflow and Parent Workflow before the start of the school year as this is how we reach you in an emergency.**
