Additionally, due to an unforeseen change to the class schedule, ALL JUNIORS need to stop by the school this week to double check elective classes.

Parents of PreK-5th graders come see us next week for meet the teacher night.

3rd and 4th grade parents: Don't forget the 3rd and 4th grade football meeting tonight at 5:30 in the school cafeteria. There will be a short meeting, equipment checkout, and a short, no pads, walk-thru practice. If you can't make it, let Coach Kysar know at the school this week so we get an accurate list of who's playing.

ATTENTION PARENTS: The 1st day of school is Thursday, August 10! We look forward to seeing all of the students back in the building for the 2023-2024 school year. As a reminder, ALL school supplies are provided by the school. Students will need to provide their own PE and/or athletics shoes (if applicable) and backpacks. Additionally, MPS is, again, utilizing a non-pricing program for breakfast and lunch, so students eat free-of-charge for both meals. Have a great, final 2 weeks of Summer Break!

Medford 3rd and 4th grade (tackle) football will have a meeting Tuesday, July 25, at 5:30 pm, in the school cafeteria. Any parent wanting their incoming 3rd or 4th grade student to play needs to attend the meeting. Immediately following the meeting, we will check out equipment (helmet, chin strap, mouth piece, shoulder pads, game pants, game jersey) then move to the practice field for an approximately 1 hour, NO PADS, practice. Enrollment forms, physical forms, and game schedules will be distributed at the meeting. NOTE: players (parents) will need to provide their own practice pants, practice jersey (t-shirt is ok), and cleats. I do have very limited extra pants and cleats available, if needed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Coach Preston Kysar
