HEALTH SUITE: EPI PENS/ MED DROP OFFS
School nurse Diane Danehy will be in the Health Suite during the upcoming Find Your Way days - this is a great opportunity to drop off Epi Pens or meds or to touch base with the nurse in a more relaxed setting prior to the start of school. Please make it a point to stop by and visit Mrs. Danehy in the Health Suite!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL INFORMATION

Please note that parents/caregivers will not enter the school with their children, so please plan to say your goodbyes and give good luck hugs before they arrive at school.
Should you wish to take pictures of your student in front of the school, we will have First Day 2019-2020 signs available on the FIND YOUR WAY DAYS. We strongly encourage families to take these “first day pictures” in advance of the true first day of school, as this will provide all involved maximum time and a more relaxed experience. Thanks for your assistance in helping make this important experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible for our students!

FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH INFORMATION

As a reminder, all Millis Public Schools will distribute information to families about Free and Reduced Lunch at the start of the school year.  This information, kept confidential, is useful to families in need who may qualify for free or reduced lunches, sliding scale rates for bus transportation, etc., and is useful to the district in qualifying for state and federal funding.

It is important to note that Free and Reduced Lunch forms must be completed by families and returned to school each year in order for students to qualify for this consideration – please be sure to return all Free and Reduced Lunch forms to school on or before Friday, September 7, 2018.  Free and Reduced Lunch forms may be downloaded from the Millis Public Schools website homepage at: http://www.millisps.org/
