Remote Learning and Support Resources
~ Excellence for All ~ A Medway Mindset ~
Welcome, Medway students, friends, and families!
We have created this site to support our district community as we navigate through these unusual times. First and foremost, we hope that you all remain healthy during the coming days and weeks. Please continue to practice the social distancing guidelines that have been offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These practices are incredibly important and will support a reduction in exposure to COVID 19 (Coronavirus).
The focus of our district and school work during this time has been on very fundamental values: connection, well-being, access, and continuous learning. This site has been built with these in mind. Please find included, information to help ensure that you and your family have the needed resources to support our students and families. The need for us all to be flexible in the coming weeks as we settle into new structures is of the utmost importance and we thank you for your patience as we navigate our work to ensure remote learning for all of our students.
We know that we are not alone in our struggles as COVID 19 (Coronavirus) continues to impact the livelihood of those across the country and in other parts of the world. Let's all continue to keep those who are impacted in our thoughts and continue to take care of ourselves and each other.
Please find the Medway Public Schools Remote Learning Plan here (linked). This document outlines, in great detail, the schedules, plans, and processes that the district will engage in to ensure continued connection, wellness, and learning for all of Medway's children.
