MEDWAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

No School Reminder



There will be no school on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 in observance of Veterans Day.

Medway Public Schools will host a School Safety & Security Update Webinar on Monday, December 7, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

The webinar will provide an overview of the district’s current school safety and security initiatives, highlight ongoing efforts, and share plans for future enhancements. The goal is to keep our school community informed about the steps being taken to maintain a safe and secure learning environment for all students and staff.

Pre-registration is required. The webinar will be held via Zoom, and registered participants will receive the meeting link by email closer to the event date.

As we look toward the future of our school facilities, keeping our learning environments safe, secure, and well-maintained remains a top priority.

We invite you to learn more about the proposed School Roof Replacement and the proposed Municipal Complex Project.

An informational video about these projects can be viewed here.

A second video titled “Our Vision” which highlights the need to replace aging roofs at Medway Middle School and Medway High School as well as the proposed Public Safety and Municipal Complex project can be viewed here.

The Fall Town Meeting provides residents with an opportunity to make decisions about a wide range of topics. The upcoming Fall Town meeting will take place on Monday, November 9, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at the Medway High School Auditorium, 88 Summer Street.

At this upcoming Fall Town Meeting, there is one item that requests authorization to transfer $64,000 from certified free cash to Medway Schools Special Education Stabilization Fund.

You may recall that we shared that the Medway School Committee voted to transfer $100,000 to the Special Education Stabilization Account. The Special Education Stabilization Account allows local districts to set aside up to 2% of the annual net school spending amount. These funds can be used to deal with unexpected special education costs during a fiscal year. This is an important step to ensuring that there are resources available to help us manage unexpected expenses.View the town meeting warrant here.

The Medway High Drama Club is excited to present Soundscapes, a play about Iris who has synesthesia. An ensemble chorus of colors bring Iris' experience of discovering her neurodivergence to life in this triumphant, visually stunning coming-of-age story.

Performances will take place on Saturday, November 21 at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
