School and Community Resource Guide Dear Families, Welcome to the Malden Public Schools! We are proud of the schools, teachers our students, and their families. The goal of the Malden Public Schools’ Title I Family Involvement Program is to provide support to families in becoming involved in their children’s education. The purpose of this guide is to provide information to families on services available in the schools, the city of Malden, and additional social service agencies. Please call or visit their offices to assist you in any concerns your family may be facing. We would love your feedback on this resource guide. Please email or call Pat Fish, the Title I Family Involvement Coordinator, at [email protected] or 781-388-0663 with any feedback.
