MHS Weekly Updates

6/24/2022

Happy Summer!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing staff and student body for great year. Not every day was easy but we made it through! I hope everyone has a safe and happy summer vacation!

MHS Athletics

This past Saturday, the Baseball Team defeated King Philip Regional High School 4-2 to earn their first ever State Championship in program history! Congratulations!


Yesterday, they were invited to the State House as guests of State Senator Walter F. Timilty where they will be honored on the Senate Floor.

Also on Saturday our Girls Relay Team ran at the New Balance Nationals in Philadelphia! The 4x800m Relay Team of Katie O'Toole, Marilyn Roche, Mia Jilani, and Gretel Schewe finished 7th in New England, with a time of 9:37.53, beating their qualification time by nearly 4 seconds! Freshman Gretel Schewe also finished 6th in the 800m with a time of 2:23.46. Quite the accomplishment from four girls that are all returning next year!

MHS Fine and Performing Arts

It was great to hear music back in the building this year! As our seniors head off please take a minute to read about their most favorite memories of the MHS Music Department and what music has meant to them.

Bus Registration for 2022-2023

Bus registration for the 2022-23 school year will close on June 24, 2022. Please visit our Transportation Page for all details and links.

A Message from the Class of 2022 Parents & Students

A few weeks ago we sent out an SOS on behalf of the Class of 2022 asking for your help to raise money for their senior class activities, and boy did you deliver. Due to your enormous generosity, the Class of 2022 raised approximately $24,000 through raffle ticket sales and corporate and parent donations (including many from parents of underclassmen). You are all amazing and we are so appreciative of all your support. The activities you helped support include:


Personalized yard signs

Class banner

Balloon decorations for the prom

Food truck

Hypnotist

Movie day

A catered picnic

Drive-by breakfast at Steele & Rye; and a

Graduation Parade


And now for more great news! The balance of the donations will be used for future reunions for the Class of 2022 and to 'pay it forward'. Thanks to your generous donations the Class of 2022 has decided to allocate a portion of the remaining funds to the Classes of 2023, 2024, and 2025 to jump start their fundraising efforts.

Please know that each and every senior benefited from your generosity and now future classes will too. THANK YOU!

  • PARTICIPATE & ADVOCATE: We are looking to next year and have only received ten responses to our survey, despite the fact that there are over 800 families with IEPs and 504s. Please participate and add your voice. We can only serve our constituency well if we have relationships with YOU. Please take a few moments to give us your thoughts. The survey is brief.

Residency Re-establishment

Residency re-establishment is past due!

If you fail to re-establish residency for your child who is entering nine, you will not receive their MHS class schedule. Please submit the required documents via the link provided in the email you received on June 6, 2022 or drop the documents in the lockbox outside the main entrance of Milton High School. All details can be found in the Re-establishment of Residency Letter linked here. In addition, the MPS required residency documents can be found here. Thank you for your attention to this matter and please email residency@miltonps.org with questions.

Technology

Accidents happen. Even when you are being your most careful, sometimes Chromebooks get damaged or stop working. That’s why MPS strongly recommends that families purchase insurance for the Chromebooks issued to students. The cost is $30 per student per school year. Purchases now will cover your student through June 2023. All details on coverage and how to purchase can be found here.

Anonymous Bullying & Incident Reporting

As discussed at a recent School Committee meeting, the Milton Public Schools has updated our school incident reporting forms so people can specify incidents on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion and more. The Milton High School incident form can be found here and each school has a form linked on the front of their school’s website and they are also linked on the front of the MPS website, the MPS Education Equity page and MPS Anti-Bullying page.

Food Service


MPS is unable to serve summer meals this year, as we do not meet federal guidelines. There are local resources available to all families and the list of local sites can be found here.

If your family is in need of further resources, please reach out to MPS Family Outreach Liaison Marti O’Keefe McKenna via email or phone (617-980-7343).
