On the first day of school (Wednesday, August 26), all students in grades 10-12 should report directly to their homeroom as listed in Aspen. All grade 9 students will report to Jenkins Auditorium for orientation.

All students will be able to access their 2026-2027 schedule, in Aspen, later in August (Date TBD). If you have difficulty accessing your schedule, please contact the school and we will connect you with your counselor.

On the first day of school, grade 9 students will meet on the sidewalk nearest the Jenkins steps for a 7:45 entrance to the Jenkins Auditorium where they will attend an orientation meeting.

There is no need to buy supplies ahead of the first day of school; students will be provided with class specific supply lists from their teachers on their first day of school. Any supplies needed on day one will be provided by the school.

Every student in Malden Public Schools is provided with a free breakfast and lunch on full school days - no paperwork needed. Breakfast is provided to students as they walk into the building or directly in their classroom. Each month, you may view the breakfast and lunch menus for our schools at the link below. Be sure to bookmark the page and check at the start of each monthe to view the new menu.
