Please find the district's Community Update dated Wednesday, March 28. The update offers a huge congratulations to our Cheerleading Team on their latest achievement - New England Champions!

This was a very challenging budget year as the needs of our students and the district have outpaced additional resources. Despite that, this budget reflects the addition of essential student services to meet academic and behavioral needs.
Reminder, there is no school on Friday, March 29. The complete update can be read here: https://www.medwayschools.org/article/1342509.
