Great things are going on throughout the Medway Public Schools. With the new year comes a new, featured way to share exciting programs and experiences within our schools. Each month, we will highlight one Spotlight on Excellence, a video featuring one element of programming pride across our PK-12 district. This month, we are excited to highlight Medway High School’s Innovation Pathway Program in our first Spotlight on Excellence. The Innovation Pathway Program allows students to gain specialty skills, competencies, and experiences in Healthcare and Social Assistance, Information Technology, or Engineering (with more Pathway Programs being explored in the future). In addition to their typical coursework, Pathway students engage in specific technical courses, advanced courses, and either a Capstone Course or an internship experience. Please take a moment to watch this brief video on Medway High School’s Innovation Pathways Program. https://youtu.be/XZdLr36oAeA?si=g9_x9IO1-RT6N73_

We were thrilled to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the McGovern Elementary School today to open the dramatic play area in the playground. The new area includes a newly constructed pirate ship as well as multiple playstations (kitchens and chalkboards) to allow for dramatic play, as well as a staging area where children are encouraged to use their creativity to express themselves. Thank you to the Medway Foundation for Education for securing a grant that allowed this equipment to be built, delivered, and installed for our students at McGovern Elem. A massive shoutout to the students in Mr. Barstow's carpentry class at Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School for their hard work and expertise !

As you may know, the weather has resulted in several road closures throughout Medway. We have been in ongoing communication with Town officials as the situation continues to evolve. We will be conducting a typical school dismissal today. After-school activities have been canceled. Given the traffic challenges, we anticipate that getting students home may take longer than usual. Also, there are locations throughout Medway that are impassable. Traffic detours are expected. If the bus cannot safely transport students to their typical stop, students will be returned to school for parent/guardian pick up. Staff at each school will call impacted families if/when students are returned to school sites. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we collectively navigate these weather-impacted challenges.
