HANDBOOK HIGHLIGHTS
Periodically, we will include a Handbook Highlight to help parents and guardians navigate the ins and outs of your child’s educational journey. In each installment, we will shine a spotlight on a section of the MHS Student Handbook, equipping you with useful information.
FEES FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:
Students are expected to pay a $25 Activity Fee for participation in extracurricular activities/clubs per year (not including athletics). This annual fee covers membership in all clubs/activities and is used to offset costs associated with these groups/activities. Checks should be made to the Town of Medfield with your student's name in the memo field. These can be turned into club advisors or the main office. Matters of monetary hardship should be directed to an Assistant Principal for extracurricular fees.
