McGovern 12:00 pm. Vacation: December 25- January 1, 2024. We will return to school on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
Change of plan! Since all after-school programs were canceled, Medway Secondary PTO is moving their gift-wrapping fundraiser to Wednesday, December 20th, from 5-8 pm. BYO wrapping paper!
As you may know, the weather has resulted in several road closures throughout Medway. We have been in ongoing communication with Town officials as the situation continues to evolve.
We will be conducting a typical school dismissal today. After-school activities have been canceled. Given the traffic challenges, we anticipate that getting students home may take longer than usual.
Also, there are locations throughout Medway that are impassable. Traffic detours are expected. If the bus cannot safely transport students to their typical stop, students will be returned to school for parent/guardian pick up. Staff at each school will call impacted families if/when students are returned to school sites.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we collectively navigate these weather-impacted challenges.
We confirmed that MSPTO is holding their Gift Wrapping Fundraiser TONIGHT, 12/18, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm in the high school lobby! The weather will clear up by then, so bring your wrapping paper, drop off your gifts, and let us do the rest! We will send you a text with everything is ready for pickup. Make your donation by cash, check, or Venmo.
