Parent Information Center
Welcome to the Parent Information Center (PIC)
The Parent Information Center (PIC) serves as a support system for all families in Waltham Public Schools.
The PIC makes information about the schools more accessible to families and can assist with questions on topics such as new student registrations, in-district transfers, student withdrawals, student work permits, school transportation, school district boundaries and redistricting, bus and walk boundaries, before and after-school programs, summer programs, child-care and preschool providers, and parent involvement opportunities.
Student Registration Information
Geographic Boundaries
Elementary and middle school students attend schools based on geographic boundaries set by the School Committee. Exceptions to that are made for students attending specialized programs offered at only one school, such as Special Education programs or the Dual Language School where kindergarten students from across the City are selected based on an application and lottery process.
Middle school boundaries are based on feeder elementary schools; Kennedy Middle School students matriculate from MacArthur, Northeast and Plympton Elementary Schools, and McDevitt Middle School students matriculate from FitzGerald, Stanley and Whittemore Elementary Schools.
