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.

IMPORTANT MEAL KIT INFORMATION: With the construction on Route 7 already causing delays, we can't be adding to the local gridlock. Yes, this is a first-come, first-served program, but for the fourth week in a row, everyone who arrived before 12:45 received their meal kits. People lining up at 11 are waiting an hour for a box, but those arriving between 12:15 and 12:30 have been waiting 5-10 minutes. In an effort to reduce traffic congestion caused by people arriving before 11:45, we ask you to please consider arriving later, which will save you time and also gas by avoiding an hour of idling in the summer heat.
