📚 First Day of School – September 2!
We’re excited to welcome students back for the new school year on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. Let’s start the year off strong with smiles, curiosity, and a spirit of learning. See you then!

Join us for an Open House at McGovern Elementary on Thursday, August 21, from 9:00–11:00 a.m. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and help your child feel more comfortable as they approach the first day of school

Medway Middle School's Curriculum Night is TONIGHT - Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 6 pm. This evening is designed as an adult-only program, allowing families to meet their child’s teachers and learn about their child’s curricular program. Additional details, including a schedule for the evening, can be found here: https://bit.ly/4pqCIU3.

We expect parking will be challenging this evening and encourage families to travel in one vehicle or carpool with other families, if possible. When parking, we also ask that you refrain from blocking entrances/exits and be mindful of blocking other drivers from their parking spaces. We appreciate your cooperation.

📚 We’re off to a smooth start to the 2025–26 school year! Routines are back, learning is in full swing, and Curriculum Nights are underway.

As AI becomes part of daily life, we’re committed to helping students use technology safely and responsibly. This includes new content filtering tools for take-home devices and resources for families to stay informed.
