Elementary Early Morning Program
2024-2025 School Year
Program Details
Starting September 9, 2024, Newton Public Schools will be offering the Early Morning Program for students in Grades K through 5 in each of the elementary schools. The program is designed to provide a needed service by giving parents the opportunity to bring their children to school prior to the beginning of the regularly scheduled school day. Within the program, each elementary school will offer supervised before school care from 7:20 a.m. until 8:10 a.m. when the school day begins.
Registration
Please register your student online through MySchoolBucks starting on August 1st. Once you have registered, your student’s registration status will not be active until it has been approved by the Business Office. If your registration is approved, you will receive a confirmation email. We will try to accommodate all students who sign up, but due to staffing and space constraints, we may need to limit the number of students in this program. If this is the case, we will put your student on a waitlist and send an email notifying you of this status.
If you register after Sep 9th, please contact the business office at 617-559-9025 or email. A pro-rated payment will be determined based upon your child's start date and payment will be coordinated.
Payment
Payment will not be required until your student’s registration in MySchoolBucks has been approved by the Business Office. Payments should be made online using MySchoolBucks. Several payment schedule options are available. The program cost is $16.00 per day.
Financial Waivers are available, but you must apply and be approved before using the waiver registration option.
