Melrose School Policy regarding food in the classroom: 1)  All elementary classrooms are nut-free. Please do not send snacks contaminated by nuts to school. 2) Everyone loves a birthday!  Celebrate your child's birthday with a non-edible item, such as a toy or a library book donation.  Please leave the treats for home.  We want all children to be safe in school.

Policy regarding dogs on campus. Dogs are not allowed on school grounds or the school playground.  Please refer to the Elementary School Handbook.

Inclement Weather drop-off Children must use the side door to enter the building at the beginning of the school day, regardless of weather.  Please do not allow drop off children at the front door, particularly in inclement weather.
