Back to School Info for Parents

Chromebook Insurance

Parents of 3rd through 8th-grade students,

We are trying out a new online system for Chromebook Orientation through FamilyID (Instructions below). In order to get all the forms in one place, we are asking everyone to go through this process even if you had already attended a Chromebook orientation in the past. If you need assistance or would prefer to come in for Chromebook orientation, we will still be here on Wednesday, August 29th from 10:00 - 4:00 in the Melrose school.

FamilyID is a secure registration platform that provides you with an easy, user-friendly way to sign school policies, such as handbook agreements, media releases, and acceptable use policies, and helps us to be more administratively efficient and environmentally responsible. When you register through FamilyID, the system keeps track of your information in your FamilyID profile. You enter your information only once for each family member for multiple uses and multiple programs. Note: If you used FamilyID last year to enroll your student in a Melrose After School Program, you do not need to register again, just sign in.

Child Outreach Screenings

Jamestown School Department offers free developmental screenings all year for 3, 4 and 5 year old children. This is a brief look at your child's development in language, fine and gross motor as well as vision and hearing. This is recommended once a year to ensure that all children are off to a great start before entering Kindergarten.

Screenings can be scheduled by contacting our Child Outreach Coordinator, Courtney Hancur, at 423-7020 ext 121 or hancur.courtney@jamestownschools.org. Screenings take place at Melrose School or Jamestown Early Learning center during school hours.

We look forward to meeting our young families in the Jamestown Community.

School Bus Transportation Routes

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

Welcome Back to School!

You will find information on bus stop locations and times at the Jamestown School Department website, here.

There are likely to be changes to the routes as students continue to enroll and as we make improvements over the first week of school. I am hopeful that any changes will be minor. I appreciate your flexibility in advance as we continue to work to provide safe and timely transportation for all students.

I am happy to share that as part of the contract with First Student, there will be several new buses on the road in the beginning of October. Also, the majority of our bus drivers and monitors are returning this school year.

Please contact my office at 423-7020 ext. 119 or by email at dickson.erica@jamestownschools.org.

Enjoy the last few sunny summer days,

Erica B. Dickson

Director of Student Services
