Registration - Current Pre K Students: It has come to our attention recently that there has been a slight miscommunication regarding Kindergarten Registration for the 2024-2025 school year. If you have a child who currently attends preschool at McGovern and will be transitioning into Kindergarten next year, you will need to fill out a 2024-2025 kindergarten registration. Use the credentials you made for Infinite Campus when you registered your child for preschool. You will then be able to upload up-to-date documents and update new information that may have changed since last year. Please click the link below to view the Medway Public Schools Online Registration Directions. If you already have a child in the school district you will skip to Step 2 and follow those directions. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PvvlVdy0qiBB6QIM8EujI-e5dS0fJ1UFqdKPs3Jpdu4/edit?usp=sharing We apologize for the misunderstanding and thank you for your cooperation!

The School Site Council has been working to organize a beautification day for the front walkway and the patio by the door leading to parent pick up.

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. If you plan to bring a child, please know there is no supervision available and you will be responsible for your own child. We are limiting volunteers to 30 people. Please click the link to be taken to the Sign-Up Genius. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B49A8AC2CA7FEC61-48578554-mcgovern
