Important Notice from the Medway Police Department - We are writing to share that Medway High School is currently in lockdown due to an investigation that we are engaged in, in partnership with the Medway Police Department. All students and staff are safe in their classrooms; we cannot share additional information with you now. We are sending this message to alert you and will keep you apprised as we approach student dismissal. No cars or individuals can enter or exit the school at this time.
We know this is unsettling, and we promise to keep you apprised. Our student and staff safety is our primary concern. Out of an abundance of caution and to allow for a full investigation, we will cancel all after-school activities, including athletics. We will alert you to any changes to student dismissal time or procedures.
We are now accepting nominations for the Burke/Memorial School Plaque. Do you know someone who has devoted themselves to service and volunteerism and has made Medway schools/town life better for those who follow? Please fill out the form using this link: https://bit.ly/3ZkzqTR

Math Learning Survey (Grades 6-12). Responses Needed.
As has been shared, the impact of the school closures and unfinished learning over the last couple of years has been most notable in our students' mathematics' learning at the middle and secondary levels. As we continue exploring ways to mitigate these learning needs, we seek feedback from families, students, and educators regarding what has been working and what the district should consider moving forward. Representatives from the district will have an opportunity to partner with leaders from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in early May, where about 50 districts will come together to explore ways in which to mitigate various instructional needs collaboratively.
We look forward to this opportunity and greatly appreciate having perceptual information from families, students, and educators to support this planning.
