Youth mental health is a topic of utmost importance, and we believe that by working together, we can create a supportive environment where our children can thrive.
As we start the new school year, we want to introduce you to a new partner of Medway Schools, Care Solace. Care Solace offers mental health care coordination services and can help connect you, your child, and extended family members with appropriate community-based providers. Whether it's counseling, therapy, or other mental health services, Care Solace can assist you in finding the support your family may need.
To access Care Solace's coordination services, reach out using the following options:

By joining hands and working together as a community, we can provide a nurturing and inclusive environment that supports our youth's mental health and well-being. Let's continue to prioritize their emotional growth; together, we can create a brighter future for our children.

What is the #buildingbrightbrains campaign about?
It is a series of initiatives to share messages with parents and adolescents that brains continue to develop until age 25, and choices made during youth can change the brain's structure for better or worse.
Like this post or follow SUP Medway as we continue to empower both teens and their parents with tips on what "boosts" the brain and facts on what to avoid to not "bust" brain development.
Stay tuned for more educational posts and professional takes on how to #buildbrightbrains!
It was a beautiful day to welcome our preschool and kindergarten students to their first day at McGovern Elementary. We saw lots of smiling faces and sheer enthusiasm! A huge thank you to Medway Police for offering a helping hand.

ACTION REQUIRED: Annual Student Information Update
To prioritize safety and efficiency, we require all parents and students to complete a yearly review and sign off on the information, policies, and procedures.
To streamline this process and make it convenient for everyone, we have integrated this review into our user-friendly Parent Portal system, which we refer to as "Online Registration" or "The Yearly Information Update" in our communications.
All families must complete this review, update any information that may have changed since last year, and sign off on required policies and procedures by September 7, 2023. Families with 5th and 9th-grade students should know that this process must be completed before a school-issued Chromebook will be deployed to their child.
For more information, please review the Technology Department communication and instructions here: https://bit.ly/3QRXuNo.
The Parent Portal can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/2ZWLIHs (Please login and complete the review by clicking MORE > New Student Reg & Update > 2023-24 New Student Registration and Annual Update by September 7).
