Per the handbook, if your child is unable to attend school, please enter the absence in PickUp Patrol and/or call our designated attendance line, 617-848-0115, as early as possible. Soon after arrival, our office staff begins to call the caregivers of absent students if we haven't already heard from them. This is important, as we want to ensure that all students are safe. Your phone message with the reason for the absence is all we need. While an email to the teacher is helpful, it sometimes doesn't make its way to the office staff. Thank you for your help!

Many thanks to those who have already completed the MRSD parent/caregiver engagement survey! This brief anonymous survey will be used to assist us with future planning for parental involvement activities and events. If you haven't yet shared your feedback, we encourage you to do so before the survey closes June 1, 2025.
