PickUp Patrol (PUP)
Eames Way School will continue to use PickUp Patrol to manage attendance and dismissal plans efficiently and accurately. It eliminates the need to call, email, or write notes. Families conveniently use PickUp Patrol to notify EWS if your student will be absent, arriving late, leaving early, or with end-of-day dismissal plan changes. Teachers receive an email in the morning with attendance updates and a personalized email in the afternoon with dismissal plans for their classroom. If you have any questions you can review the EWS PickUp Patrol Overview or visit PUP Parent Guide.
Bus Transportation Update
MPSD Transportation provided the following update for bus routes: 2024-2025 Transportation. This will provide you with detailed information regarding your bus route, including timeframes for both morning and afternoon. Bus times will become more predictable after the first few weeks of school. Please be patient as bus routes settle into a routine. Families can help by being on time and getting students on/off the bus quickly and efficiently. For questions regarding bus stop and routes, please contact transportation@mpsd.org.

Introduction of New Individualized Education Program (IEP) Form
Presented by Amy Scolaro, MPSD Assistant Superintendent of Student Services and the Marshfield Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC).

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) released a new Individualized Education Program (IEP) form, which is being implemented this school year in all school districts. It is important to understand that while the IEP form will look different, the special education process remains the same.
The new IEP document's intent is to support teams in developing a more personalized education plan for students receiving special education services. The new IEP form will enhance collaboration and provide clear and comprehensive documentation of your child's strengths and special education services.
For more information about the new statewide IEP form, please visit the state webpage at: https://www.doe.mass.edu/sped/improveiep/
