This year, the Milton Town School District will be conducting an AI Safety and Awareness Campaign for caregivers and families. This will consist of monthly "bite-sized" information about AI (AI Monthly Minutes), and corresponding resources so that you can dig deeper if you wish. Our goal is to equip families with accurate information and strategies for safety and learning.
Monthly Topics:
September: Awareness, MTSD Principles and Academic Integrity
October: Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
November: Algorithms, Social Feeds & Screen Time
December: Creative AI & Copyright Ethics
January: Fact-Checking, Hallucinations & Deepfakes
February: AI and Balanced Perspectives
March: AI in Careers & Skill-Building
April: Environmental Impact
May: Summer Digital Boundaries & Year-End Wrap-Up

Meet new MES 4th grade teacher, Mr. Macias!
Afternoon preschool at MES is canceled.
Dear families:
We have an unexpected and emerging facilities issue this morning. A venting issue in the bathrooms at MES is creating unpleasant vapors. Technicians are on site. In the interim we are evacuating all MES students to the MHS gym. Breakfast will be available for students there.
Given that we do not have a timeline for returning to MES, we are initiating an early dismissal. Students who arrived on buses will be ready for dismissal beginning at 9:30 from MHS. Students who are being dropped off can either go right home with their parents or we can hold them at MHS until arrangements can be made.
Please update Pick Up Patrol with your early dismissal plans or come to the high school where staff will be available to assist. Parents should pick up at the high school at the front door.

Any person desiring their record must put that request in writing, or in an email to the student services department. Please send your request before September 24, 2026 to:

Dear Families,
The school bus pickup and drop-off times will be posted on the school websites by 5 pm on Friday, August 21st. These times are estimated based on the most current information we have regarding ridership.
During the first few weeks of school, actual bus pick up and drop off times may vary from the scheduled time by up to 15 minutes due to several daily factors:
Changing Ridership:
At the start of the school year, families are still making decisions regarding school transportation.
We still have families moving in and out of the District
As a result, on some days we have fewer students which speeds up the route, while on other days we have more students which takes longer.
Traffic & Construction:
Bus drivers are still learning the patterns of local roadwork and daily commuter traffic which could cause them to be either early or late
Schedules will become much more consistent after these initial weeks.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we kick off the school year!
We’re So Excited to Welcome You Back!
A quick update about tomorrow’s Back-to-School BBQ!
Due to the bathroom renovation project not being quite completed, we are moving the BBQ location to the back of the school building, between Milton Elementary School and Milton Middle School. This change will allow us to better accommodate seating and bathroom needs. We will have plenty of people to help navigate and sign so that you know where to go.
You can still enter the elementary school through the main entrance and visit classrooms as planned. We are simply shifting the dinner location.
We hope to see you tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. for a fun afternoon of reconnecting, visiting classrooms, and kicking off a wonderful new school year together!
We can’t wait to see you!

We want to thank everyone within our community who participated in our Summer Meals Program this year. MTSD is proud to share that we served over 50,000 meals throughout the summer. We would also like to thank our partners who helped make this program possible: Milton Recreation and Parks Department, New England Dairy and Food Council, Hunger Free Vermont, Performance Food Group, and the Vermont Agency of Education. Thanks again and we wish you a successful transition back to school!
MTSD Families,
As we prepare for the school year, we are pleased to share our MTSD Student Handbook - the primary family resource for all district-wide policies, procedures, and expectations that apply consistently to every student across all three schools.
To ensure you and your student have all the information you need, please take note of how the handbook is structured:
District-Wide Policies: Please review the District Table of Contents. This section contains essential policies, guidelines, and rights that govern all students throughout the entire school district.
School-Specific Information: Within the main document, you will find direct links to the individual school handbooks. It is important to click the link for your child’s specific school to review details tailored to their buildings such as daily schedules, arrival/dismissal procedures, and campus-specific rules.
Taking time to review both the broader district policies and your school's specific section will help ensure a smooth, informed, and successful school year for your family. If you need a hardcopy, please contact District Office at 893-5302.

*** LOCATION UPDATE **** To help alleviate traffic, the truck is FARTHER down the road within the park. Just because you don’t see the truck from the road doesn’t mean we’re out of meal kits!
TOMORROW August 13th is our LAST meal kit drive-thru distribution day of the summer! Last week we still had boxes at 1:30, and there was zero wait for boxes after 12:30. Yes, there is quite a line at noon, but plenty of boxes are available after 12:30 with zero wait. FREE meal kits (one kit per child aged 18 and under) containing the equivalent of 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches, and a gallon of milk. Kits are available at Bombardier Park West on a first come, first serve basis rain or shine. No registration required. These meals are not intended for children receiving free meals in summer school or summer camp. We look forward to seeing you there!
