 Race to the Top - Memorandum of AgreementMassachusetts is developing a competitive proposal to apply for funding through the federal Race to the Top competition, which asks states to focus on four assurances: standards and assessments, great teachers and leaders, school turnaround and data systems.
Field Trip Cancellation
Field trips are funded via parent donations and provide valuable educational benefits to students. If there is a significant influenza outbreak in our school system, it may be necessary to cancel a field trip at the last minute. Many organizations require prepayment for a field trip and do not offer refunds. Therefore, in the event of a cancellation, a refund to parents may not be possible. If a cancellation occurs and an organization offers a refund, we will make every effort to reschedule the trip or plan another field trip of equal educational value.
Bus Passes
After you register online, bus passes will be available for pickup at our Central Office, at 23 Depot Street. Please visit our Transportation page for more information. More>>
