Take a moment to read an overview of the safety procedures in place across our district. 

At Derby Public Schools, we are committed to maintaining a focused and distraction-free learning environment that supports student achievement. To uphold this standard, policies have been approved at each level. View complete policies in student handbooks.

With the 2025-2026 Green/White Calendar, you can easily check whether it is a Green Day or White Day and other information.

This guide is designed to help families, students and community members know where to start when they have a question, concern or need support.

The 2025-2026 school year calendar is available to view or download. Please note, each elementary school and Derby High School will begin their school day five minutes earlier this year.

We are excited to announce that the Panther Watch volunteer program is expanding to the middle schools. We are looking for volunteers who are interested in supporting the learning environment at Derby Middle School, Derby North Middle School and Derby High School. 

An overview of Derby High School's dress code policy is available or the full policy can be found on the Student Handbooks page.

Did you know you can report an absence online through Skyward Family Access instead of calling the attendance line?

Derby Public Schools is dedicated to maintaining safe and supportive environments across the district. To help prevent school violence and address bullying, we provide several easy, confidential and anonymous ways to report concerns.
