How can I view the school lunch menu?

Elementary and secondary lunch menus are available via the "Dining" icon visible on every school page, as well as via Our District > Food Services under Nutrislice. It will be featured weekly in the local newspaper, Old Colony Memorial, starting the week before school opens.

Plymouth School Lunch Program is providing free meals to all students. The 2022-23 school year was the first year of state-supported universal free school meals, and with Governor Healey’s signing of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, Massachusetts became the eighth state to make universal free school meals permanent.

Children enrolled in the district (or in the community) are eligible for these free meals regardless of eligibility. Even though meals are free, it is recommended that school districts still collect applications and notify households of the results.

Is there a school supply list for my building?

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:

  • Supplies are provided -- there are no recommended supply lists. 

SECONDARY SCHOOLS 

  • PNHS, PSHS, PCIS, and PSMS will post their recommended supply lists on their web pages.  When you are on the school home page, navigate to MENU > ABOUT OUR SCHOOL > ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Students who need them will receive their Chromebooks within the first two weeks of school as long as they submit the Loan of Technology Agreement. More information can be found on the Technology page of our site.

Where will my bus stop be located?

UPDATED 8/15: For the upcoming school year, it's essential to register for bus services as soon as possible! All bus routes are being created based on new registrations, and bus stops from last year will not be available unless you've registered and paid the bus fee.

If you are NOT required to pay but still need to register, please contact your child's school building Administrative Assistant.
