We want to inform families that Medway Public Schools offers an optional Chromebook insurance policy to support students better, improve our repair process, and ensure funds directly benefit our schools. Families can opt in to the insurance program for $29 per year. Policies will cover all accidental damages. This policy will not cover cosmetic damage, wear & tear, power supplies, unexplained loss, or intentional damage. Families who choose not to purchase insurance will be responsible for the full cost of parts for any repairs. They will be invoiced if a repair is needed, and can buy insurance for future claims. Complete the form for optional insurance: https://bit.ly/2Bro5cr.
Children need healthy meals to learn, and we are proud to share that Medway Public Schools continues to offer nutritious breakfast and lunch to all students at no cost. This program is made possible through funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and it has now been made permanent for all students.
Even though meals are free, we need your help to keep this program strong. By completing the Meal Benefit Application, you can:
Support our ability to sustain free meals by increasing access to Federal funding.
Drive additional funding for critical educational programs in our schools.
Help provide free summer and childcare meals in our community.
Please visit our Medway Public Schools website - Free and Reduced Lunch to access related, essential documents such as:
