It is hard to imagine that another year has come and gone. It was nice to get back to our honored traditions, create some new fun events, and gather together as a community safely. As we wrap up another year, we can't help but reflect on the bittersweet emotions that filled our hearts yesterday during our farewell to the 4th-grade students and their families. Among the smiles and laughter, there were also tears shed as we said goodbye. We will miss them yet know they are ready for the middle school and will make us proud. The bonds that have been forged between staff, families, and students are invaluable, and we are continually grateful for this collaborative effort .

One last shout out to Kathy Rossman, Deborah Ross-Myers, Sharon Marcotte, and Susan Dooley, four remarkable individuals who are bidding farewell to our school and embarking on a well-deserved retirement. We thank them for their nearly 100 years of service, their dedication and commitment to Center have left a mark on our community.. Their absence will be deeply felt, and we will miss them dearly.

While this school year comes to a close, we eagerly look forward to the 2023-2024 school year. We are excited to continue on this educational journey with you.

We will continue our tradition of read alouds over the summer and hope you can join us for a few. Please enjoy a safe and relaxing break!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

School bus registration for the 2023-24 school year is underway. We need to begin to collect data on riders for the fall, so efficient routes may be developed for the start of the school year if we are in an in-person school setting.

An “early bird” payment discount is available for registrations completed by July 4, 2023. Information pertaining to school bus transportation may be found on the Chelmsford Public Schools Transportation page. Registering now allows the transportation department to begin building routes for optimum efficiency, and if you are required to pay a fee it saves you money by registering early.

A few reminders about student transportation:

• ALL STUDENTS who desire to ride the school bus to or from school MUST REGISTER EVERY YEAR, even if they are not required to pay a fee.

REGISTRATION PROCESS

You will be required to provide your child's First Name, Last Name, and LASID (student ID) to register them for school bus transportation in the MCC portal. You may find your child's student ID in the X2 Family Portal. Click FAMILY in the top tab (just below your name on the left side of the screen) and a list of each child associated with your family is displayed. Please note, if you have existing and incoming students you may need to adjust the filter (looks like a funnel) and select "all records." Click on the name of your child and you will see a field for student ID displayed (on the left side of the page just under your child's name). The student ID typically begins with 5500. You will need the entire student ID number to complete the registration/payment process in MCC eSCHOOL. Please note, each child is registered separately in the MCC portal. Please be sure to register each child that will be using school bus transportation.

If you are new to the Chelmsford Public Schools and have not yet received an X2 Family Portal account, you will receive a separate e-mail communication from the Transportation Department that will include your child’s LASID (student ID) to allow you to register for the school bus. You will also receive an X2 Family Portal welcome letter in August prior to the start of school.
