At Graham & Parks we will also begin the year with Listening Conferences. Listening conferences are an opportunity to hear from a student and parent, guardian, or caregiver on needs, hopes, goals & dreams for the upcoming school year. They will be held from 9/2/2025 - 9/18/2025.
Arrival and Dismissal Time
Students
should not enter the building until 7:50AM because there is no one on
duty to supervise them. Before 8:05AM, students and family members are
asked to wait in the playground, front lobby, or cafeteria (where
breakfast is available) until the bell rings. Learn more >>
Late/Absence Procedures
When your child is absent, please be sure to call the Absent or Tardy Hotline at 617.349.6577 x125. This is a safety issue. Learn more >>
Class Configurations
Classrooms at the Graham and Parks Alternative Public School are singled graded, with the exception of JK/K classes and our Language-Based Learning Disabilities program, which both have mixed age groups.
