Welcome Back!

Dear Milton Town School District Community,

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the first edition of our district’s online newsletter. Each month, this publication will provide you with a glimpse of the dynamic teaching, learning and growth that occur across our schools, while also highlighting some of the accomplishments of our students, faculty, and staff.

Within this newsletter, you will find not only updates on events and initiatives that shape our district, but also features that celebrate individual and collective achievements, from honoring our Employee of the Month to spotlighting the creativity and resilience of our learners. My hope is that this newsletter provides you with both information and inspiration as you engage with the MTSD

While the format is digital, the spirit is deeply human. Education is a relational endeavor, and this monthly publication is just one way to strengthen the school - community partnership. I encourage you to read, share, and reach out with questions or comments.

Thank you for being a vital part of the MTSD community. Together, we continue the important work of preparing our students to thrive, pursue their passions and contribute dynamically to an ever changing world.

Amy Rex

Superintendent, Milton Town School District

✨ Welcome Back, Milton Middle School! ✨

Students kicked off the year with an opening assembly, and classrooms are ready to be filled with energy, curiosity, and new ideas. Here’s to a great year ahead! #MiltonMiddle #BackToSchool

✨ Welcome Back, Milton Elementary! ✨

The gym was abuzz as MES welcomed students to the 2025 - 2026 school year! The first assembly of the year focused on belonging and how we can work together to make sure all students feel like they belong at MES. We also had a visit from two of our fabulous bus drivers as we reviewed bus riding expectations and launched our bus of the month program.

MHS Convocation

Milton High School held its annual convocation, a tradition where the graduating class challenges all students to make the year an amazing one. Seniors encouraged their peers to go above and beyond, stand out as Yellowjackets, and take pride in being part of the MHS community.

Bus of the Month Celebration

At Milton Elementary, we’re proud of the way our students represent our school—not just in the classroom, but everywhere they go. That includes the bus ride to and from school, where showing respect, kindness, and responsibility makes a big difference.

To celebrate students who go above and beyond in demonstrating positive bus etiquette, we’ve introduced our new “Bus of the Month” recognition. Each month, one bus will be chosen for having the best overall behavior. The winning bus will be celebrated with a special announcement and receive a magnetic sign to display proudly.

This is more than just a prize—it’s a way to highlight the importance of respecting each other, taking care of our space, and helping everyone feel safe and welcome. We’re excited to see our students show their Yellowjacket pride on the bus as well as in school!

Day of Service

Milton High School students embraced the spirit of giving back during the annual Day of Service, held in remembrance of those lost on September 11, 2001. In honoring their memory, students dedicated the morning to meaningful projects across the community, from caring for local cemeteries to supporting the grounds at Camp Takumta, demonstrating both respect and a commitment to service.
