Transportation
Please see the transportation flyer below for bus registration information. You should be receiving bus tags next week that will indicate stop and estimated times of pick up and drop off.
Pick Up Numbers
All students will be issued pick up numbers for our dismissal procedure. Even if your student will be taking the bus, you will still receive a number. For families needing numbers for the first week of school, they will be available in the Byam office on Thursday and Friday next week from 9:00am-2:00pm.
School Supplies
Once again Dr. Lang, our superintendent, has budgeted to provide school supplies for students. These supply lists would traditionally go out from teachers, and families would purchase the items needed. The Chelmsford Public Schools will be covering this expense this school year.
School Lunches
With the signing of the FY23 state budget, Massachusetts has become the fifth state to provide state support to extend universal free meals beyond Congress’ expiration date of June 30, 2022. The new state funds will be used to supplement federal USDA reimbursements, allowing for National School Lunch Program meals to be provided to all students at no charge and to be reimbursed at the federal “free” rate during the 2022-23 school year.
We will be receiving further guidance from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education with regards to the use of pin numbers later this month,.
