Derby Public Schools is excited to launch ParentSquare as our new district-wide communication platform. Beginning this summer and ahead of the 2026-2027 school year, ParentSquare will become the primary way families, staff and schools communicate.

Going into Middle School feeling academically and emotionally prepared will remove an enormous stressor from your pre-teen as they transition to middle school. Take a few hours at the end of your summer to help students understand how middle school works and what they have to look forward to!

Ahead of the 2026-2027 school year, Derby Public Schools is moving to a new streamlined platform for all athletics and activities management. All secondary schools will use BOUND for registration, ticketing and scheduling.

Derby Public Schools is proud to offer FREE summer meals again this year!

Parents/guardians of students who attended Derby Public Schools during the 2025-2026 school year are encouraged to log in to the state’s online KITE Parent Portal to review their child’s Spring 2026 State Assessment scores.
