The summer months allow families to reconnect differently than they may have the opportunity to during the school year. Sometimes, these several weeks challenge families due to the change in schedule and access to essential resources such as food and social and emotional support.
These flyers, in English: https://bit.ly/4bGyiRG Spanish: https://bit.ly/3Raw2d6 and Portuguese: https://bit.ly/457uia9, provide an array of family and student resources available in Medway this summer related to family fun, food, staying active, and community support.

Community Update, dated May 29, 2024, includes a thank you to the community for completing the Strategic Planning Survey. There was a great response, and we appreciate the feedback! In addition to the end-of-the-year events, we had a few new additions; HS students participated in a Financial Literacy Fair, where students were given a job and a salary and then went to various stations to determine their costs for expenses, including housing, food, transportation, and entertainment. It was a great experiential learning experience for our students. Additionally, our grade 8 students completed their civic action projects. This learning experience allowed students to understand how to take an idea for change to action. Read the full update here: https://www.medwayschools.org/article/1342509
