As a reminder, please make sure your child has a complete change of clothes kept at school that is appropriate for the current weather.
Children may need a change of clothing due to spills, accidents, or other unexpected situations. Please check periodically to make sure the clothing still fits and is seasonally appropriate.
PLEASE USE PICKUP PATROL TO REPORT YOUR CHILD ABSENT!
Milton School utilizes PickUp Patrol for parents to report student absences and to inform the school of pick-up changes. Using PUP on your smartphone makes it easier to report absences and to make changes to your child’s after school dismissal plan. If you have not created an account for PickUp Patrol and need assistance, please contact Milton's Main Office at 973-512-8913.

As your child progresses through school, each year becomes more challenging and demanding. Therefore your child’s attendance is increasingly important. Regular school attendance is a necessary part of the learning process and it is a key to getting a good education. We ask that you make every effort to make appointments and vacation plans when school is not in session. Please click here to review our district attendance policy.
As you can certainly understand, the main office is extremely busy at dismissal time, therefore except for emergencies, no children will be dismissed after 3:30. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
If your child becomes ill at school, Mrs. Skorupa, our school nurse, will contact you.
The following days will be considered an excused absence:
- Take your Child to Work
- Religious Holidays
- College Visits
- Death in Family
Please keep the color Bus Tags on the students' book bags - these are for PM buses only to help us stay organized inside for dismissal.
ARRIVAL:
When students exit the bus, faculty and staff will direct them to their homerooms. Please ensure they are wearing their name tags and practice who your child's HR teacher is. This information helps when we are trying to direct them in the morning.
DISMISSAL:
At dismissal teachers will walk students to their buses but we ask that you review your child's bus letter with them. In the Parent Portal summary tab, you can see your child's bus route information. It is easy to think that the student is on bus A or P, but that stands for AM and PM. MSECC stands for Milton School Early Childhood Center.
Snack time is determined by the classroom teacher and takes place in the classroom. The students will be allotted 10 minutes for snack. Please make sure the child brings a snack that they are able to finish within that time frame. We encourage students to bring a healthy snack to school. Please refrain from bringing in nut based snacks and glass containers.
Visitors will not be permitted access inside the building unless they have an appointment with building administration or with classroom teacher.
All school visitors with an appointment must have their driver’s license scanned into the Milton School visitor management system in order to proceed past our main office.
All students must have their Flu Vaccine by Nov 30th. Please provide documentation to Nurse Skorupa.
For grades Preschool - 5, parent conferences will take place December 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Parent conference days are also early dismissal days (2:00PM). Parents will have the choice to participate in person or virtually. More information will be provided from the classroom teacher closer to conferences.
In a severe storm or some other emergency, the decision to close school or begin on a delayed opening basis is made by 6:15 a.m.. A delayed opening is 2 hours in duration. Buses will pick up students approximately 2 hours later than their regularly scheduled time. A delayed opening may result in a closing if conditions worsen after the initial announcement is made. If a storm develops during the day, a decision may be made to close school earlier than the regular dismissal time. A notification will go out as soon as we know.
