  • MHS Weekly Principal's Update: August 2, 2026

    Malden High School August 2, 2026 Greetings! Dear Malden High School Community, I am delighted to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new principal of Malden High School! It is an honor to serve and I'm thrilled to be joining this fantastic community. I have had a wonderful first month at Malden High School. I've received a warm welcome from students and faculty, and I am enjoying learning my way around the school and the city. I'm greatly looking forward to welcoming all of our staff and students back to school later this month. Allow me to share a bit about myself. I was most recently the Executive Director of School Transformation for Boston Public Schools. Prior to that I was a building principal with nineteen years of experience as a middle school and K-8 principal in Waltham, Somerville and Boston. I started in education as a classroom bilingual teacher in Cambridge. My favorite job has been being a school principal and I am so pleased to return to the role at Malden High. I am truly excited to embark on this journey and I am committed to doing my best for our students and families. Sincerely, Mike Sabin Principal, Malden High School Important Dates: Mark Your Calendars August 19: Student schedules published in Aspen August 20: New Student Family Information Night, 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. August 26th: First day of school for grades 9-12 September 1st:  No school, Primary Election Day September 4 - September 7: No School - Labor Day Break September 10th: Open House/Back to School Night, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.

To help promote academic growth and joyful literacy practices over the summer, we are excited to share our summer reading lists for entering the 2026-2027 school year.  Summer Reading Lists K-8 Before and After School Programming Registration is now open for next year’s before and after school programming provided by AlphaBEST at Beebe, Forestdale, Linden, and Salemwood for incoming students in grades K-8! Families can register by visiting: https://www.alphabest.org/maldenma/. Also available on the registration website are tuition rates, information about discounts and subsidies, and answers to other frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions about registration, please reach out to Mary Rousseau (AlphaBest's point of contact for the Malden Public Schools) by email mrousseau@alphabest.org or phone 978.351.6713.  Educational Technology Updates After a successful trial of "GoGuardian" this spring, Malden Public Schools is officially adopting the web filtering and monitoring application for use with student Chromebooks during the school day in grades K-12 starting next year. The district will be working with GoGuardian over the summer and we will have more information to share with caregivers ahead of the first day of school. As part of our Strategic Plan, we will be collaborating closely with educators and school leaders over the course of the next year to ensure that all of the tools we use are educationally sound and fully protect students’ data privacy. We will review our approval process for use of instructional technology tools and develop coherent guidance for the use of technology (including screen time) across grade levels. Finally, we will also begin limiting student access to Youtube during the school day at all grade levels this coming year. Students will no longer have unlimited access to Youtube on school-issued Chromebooks. However, educators will be to allow students to view specific, pre-approved educational video content pertinent to their lessons. We will provide educators with easy-to-follow guidance to implement these new procedures in August. Coming Soon: Family MCAS Portal The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is planning to launch an MCAS Family Portal that will allow families to access their child’s state test results. As a district, we will be providing families their portal registration code through ParentSquare once the portal launches later this summer. The portal will provide families with their child’s initial results from the MCAS tests they took in spring 2026. Even though these results are preliminary and could change slightly, DESE is sharing them with families early this year in response to feedback and to help families prepare for the start of school in the fall. When the portal launches, preliminary English Language Arts (ELA) results will be available. Preliminary math results, as well as science and civics results for students who took those tests, will be available in August. Final results, including student growth information and comparisons to school, district, and statewide results, will be available in late September. The portal will also include results from previous years. Kindergarten Registration Kindergarten registration is underway! Any child living in Malden who will be five (5) years old on or before August 31, 2026 should register as soon as possible. Following registration, school assignments will be sent to kindergarteners​.  To learn about the registration process for all of our schools and the documents that are required, please visit maldenps.org/registration.

  • March Newsletter

    Malden Public Schools District Newsletter March 3, 2026 Change in the Last Day of School - Snow Days and Special Election Dear Malden Public Schools Community, Last night, the Malden School Committee voted to close all PreK-8 schools on March 31 for the special election. This decision was made to ensure the safety of the schools as they are used for voting and need to be open to the general public on this day. Malden High School will remain open March 31 as there are no polling places located at the high school. We have also had four snow days across the district which have pushed out the last day of school at all of our buildings. Updated Last Days of School: As of today, the last day of school for PreK-8 students will be Tuesday, June 23.* This will be an early dismissal day with students and staff being released at 11:00 a.m. As of today, the last day of school for Malden High will be Monday, June 22. This will be an early dismissal day with students and staff being released at 11:00 a.m. The last day of school for graduating seniors is still May 28. This is a full day of school. *Please note: Salemwood School must also make up a day for the October 15, 2025 closure due to a power outage, pending a potential waiver from the state. Without a waiver, Salemwood's last day of classes will be June 24. We will provide a final confirmation on the last day of school for each school by April vacation. We have also revised the school year report card schedule to account for the missed days. This can be found below. Sincerely, Timothy Sippel Ed.L.D.

  • February Break Newsletter

    Malden Public Schools February 17, 2026 Dear Malden Public Schools Parents and Caregivers, Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the district’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas. A link to our district’s report card is available at https://reportcards.doe.mass.edu/2025/DistrictReportcard/01650000. The report card includes multiple measures of a school’s performance, by providing information on student achievement, teacher qualifications, student learning opportunities, and more.  As a district, one of our core values is “Embrace Growth,” meaning that we believe that every member of our community - students, educators, and administration - has the capacity to learn and grow. This is the lens through which we examine our data. We use the data to provide opportunities for targeted intervention to support students in building their skills, and we have examined the data as a district to identify ways our systems can also improve.   Families can use the information on this report card to have meaningful conversations with us about what our district is doing well and where there is room for improvement. Community and education leaders can use the information to better understand how to support students and our schools. We see families, caregivers and community members as critical partners in the success of our students and schools, and we are grateful for your continued support. If you have questions about our district’s report card, would like to become involved in school improvement activities, or would like to request information about support for your student, please contact your school’s Principal.
