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.

Outdoor Recess
With winter approaching, we will continue to go outside for recess as long as the temperature is deemed safe. Please make sure to send your child into school with appropriate gear including a coat, hat, and gloves; all labeled with your student’s name.
Extra Set of Clothes
Please have an extra set of clothes in your child’s backpack. Even our upper elementary friends! Spills and falls happen and we do not have all sizes of backup clothing here in the nurses office.
Holiday Gift Assistance
The holidays may feel far away, but many application deadlines are coming up soon. If your family is in need of gift or food assistance this holiday season, please check out the flyer linked here.
Food Resources
In preparation for the possible impact to SNAP benefits, we’d like to remind families about our Backpack Program and the Weymouth Food Pantry.
We encourage families to explore local food resources, including the Weymouth Food Pantry, which offers multiple pop-up locations throughout the community. You can view the full Food Pantry Calendar for upcoming dates and sites.
Additionally, the Weymouth Schools Backpack Program continues to provide weekend meals for students. Families interested in participating can sign up here.

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.

Weymouth Wednesdays
Staff and students are invited to join in on Weymouth Wednesdays at Hamilton. Dress in Weymouth gear or wear maroon and gold.
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.
