Q: What if my student is running late or needs to leave early?
A: If a student will be tardy, parents/caregivers should provide a written explanation for the tardiness or call the Main Office at 781-979-2100 [Press1] or 781-979-2116 [Absence Line]. For early dismissal, parents/caregivers should send a note with the student to be given to Ms. Bernardi (Attendance Secretary) in the morning.
Q: What is the cell phone policy?
A: You do NOT need a cell phone to be successful in Middle School. School policy is “off and away”. This also applies to smartwatches–they can be used to tell the time only.
Q: What after school sports and clubs are available?
A: In Melrose, middle school sports are run through the Melrose Recreation Department, not the school. Check out our website for after school clubs and activities that have typically been offered.
Q: Will my student have a locker and need a lock?
A: All students are assigned a locker with a lock. Lockers are located on the 6th grade floor and close to your PRIME Time.
Q: Is after school help available?
A: Yes, after school help is available. The library has historically been open for an hour after school every day. Teachers also offer before and/or after school hours which they will communicate with parents at the start of the school year.
