Be on the lookout for your child's Welcome to School packet. The packets are being mailed home. The packet will include your child's teacher, classroom, and other important information for the school year.

The ELC provides students with the supplies for school. However, parents are welcome to purchase classroom supplies such as Clorox wipes, paper towels, tissues, glue sticks, crayons, etc. This is voluntary and not a requirement. Parents should speak to their child's classroom teacher

Every student in Malden Public Schools is provided with a free breakfast and lunch on full school days - no paperwork needed. Breakfast is provided to students as they walk into the building or directly in their classroom. Each month, you may view the breakfast and lunch menus for our schools at the link below. Be sure to bookmark the page and check at the start of each month to view the new menu.
