Things to know for the start of school

Ready or not, school is back in session this week. Teachers have been setting up their classrooms and students arrive on Wednesday, August 31! Please be patient as the bus drivers become familiar with their routes and everyone settles into their new routines.

  • SAFETY: Everyone should drive with extra caution to keep all safe. Be alert for walkers crossing streets. Drivers must stop for them in crossing walks. Drivers must also stop for buses when their red lights are flashing and students are getting on or off the buses. There are reduced speed limits in school zones too!
  • FREE LUNCHES CONTINUE: Massachusetts decided to extend the free school meal program for all students for the 2022-2023 school year.
  • EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES: There are several job opportunities available within the Northborough Southborough Public School District. View them all including substitute teachers, student support professionals, administrative assistants, food service workers and more!

IMPORTANT DATES: Please be sure to view individual school websites and calendars for the most up-to-date information on events.
