Medford Public Schools

This week, first grade explored how to earn an income by providing a service and selling crafts. Once money was earned, students had to make a choice of whether to spend it on a pack of Skittles or save up for a popsicle. This experience brought concepts we have been reading about to life.

Congratulations to our State Qualifiers!!!!! State shirts can be ordered online! This is a quick turnaround! Be sure to get yours and come support the Medford Cardinals @ the State Track Meet! https://medfordstatetrack2026.itemorder.com/shop/sale/

Prom is TOMORROW!! Times to consider: 5:45-6:15 - Parent & community viewing of the venue 6:00 - Juniors and Senior line up for prom walk in front of the school 6:30 - Prom walk begins outside of the civic center Prom dinner will begin immediately following prom walk. Reminder-only juniors and seniors will be allowed inside the prom venue after prom walk - so get your pre-prom pics done beforehand. Professional photographer pictures from inside the prom will be available as soon as the junior sponsors receive them.

Out of an abundance of caution we will be running buses early today at 2:15 to avoid potential severe weather. The office is contacting bus riders parents to make sure an adult is home when they arrive. Other students can be picked up early if parents choose. Track buses are leaving Waynoka now. In the event, that there is severe weather the school safe room will be open.

What an amazing experience for the Medford Cardinal Football Team! The team along with coaches and administrators were invited to the Capitol to be recognized for their 2024 and 2025 State Academic Championships. It was also noted that this group of young men were the 2025 Class C State-Runner Up. A huge Thank you to Senator Roland Pederson and Representative John Pfeiffer for hosting us and Marshall Reigh for facilitating this opportunity for our student athletes!

State testing begins next week for grades 3-8. The schedule for both weeks is attached.

Help your student feel confident and ready by:

✔️ Getting a good night’s sleep
✔️ Eating a healthy breakfast
✔️ Arriving to school on time
✔️ Encouraging them to do their best

We are proud of and appreciate all of our students and the immeasurable skills and traits that don't show on standardized testing. We look forward to our students showcasing their abilities each and every day!
