Helpful Information for Families:
Check out the Medfield High School FAQs Center for information regarding our new HS Schedule, School Calendars, Bell Schedules, Technology, and more!
As a reminder: As of October 26, 2021, the following state guidelines are in place:
● All occupants of school buildings (over the age of four), are required to wear a mask through January 15, 2022 . If the mask mandate is lifted within the district, unvaccinated staff and students would continue to need to wear masks. PLEASE SEND YOUR STUDENT TO SCHOOL WITH A MASK (OR A SUPPLY FOR THE WEEK IN THEIR BACKPACK). We are finding that many students are arriving at school each day without a mask and our supply is running very low.

FROM MHS THEATRE
The MHS Theatre Society is hard at work preparing to perform A Wrinkle in Time on November 19th-20th. The play follows the story of a teenage girl named Meg Murry. In this staged retelling of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved young adult novel, A Wrinkle in Time, Meg embarks on an extraordinary adventure through time and space. Along with her younger brother Charles Wallace, their friend Calvin, and the guidance of various mysterious celestial beings, Meg attempts to locate her father and, perhaps, to save the world from a force of darkness beyond recognition.
