FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

May  2023

Dear Parents/Families, 

This month brings many celebrations to our community (graduations, etc.) and the countdown to the end of the school year.  Just the thought of some consistent warmer weather is something to look forward to. As we look towards the end-of-the school year, it is easy to get wrapped up in celebrations and start “daydreaming” of summer days ahead. The Medinah staff are committed to providing a sound academic focus while we offer meaningful celebrations to close out the school year. Although the last day of school is June 2, we want to ensure we take advantage of every learning opportunity possible before students leave for the summer.

Please continue to reinforce the Medinah Code of Conduct with your child/children.

We are safe.

We are caring.

We are respectful.

We are responsible.

 

If you plan to have your child return to Medinah #11, please complete the required registration by June 1. If you have ideas on how to improve registration, please feel free to let us know.

On behalf of the Board of Education and our entire community, sincere gratitude to our Medinah #11 staff, as they are honored for their hard work and dedication to the Medinah #11 children.

In closing, I ask that all parents and community members continue working together to help keep everyone safe within our wonderful district seven days per week.  If you see something in the area which needs attention, please reach out. Medinah #11 is grateful to work collaboratively with our local law enforcement agencies to help us promote safe practices in our community 24/7.  We also respectfully ask that you check your child’s backpacks, coat pockets, and belongings and know what your child is safely bringing to school each and every day.

Thanks for your part in making Medinah #11 the place to be for all!

Susan Redell

Superintendent

NEW PAYMENT PORTAL - MYSCHOOLBUCKS

This year, Medinah School District 11 will be using a new vendor for our current/new student fee system. The vendor is called MySchoolbucks. To use this system, you will first need to log in to your PowerSchool parent portal. Currently, this portal will only be used for MySchoolbucks integration.

If you do not have a PowerSchool parent account, the steps below are listed to create one.

To access your parent portal, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Open the internet browser on your computer

2. Type https://medinah.powerschool.com into the address bar

3. Click on "Create Parent Account"

4. Fill out the information to create your parent account. Under "Link Students to Account" fill out the student’s name, Access ID, Access Password, and Relationship. Your access Id and password need to be entered exactly as they are printed below (both are case-sensitive). It is advisable that you keep your username and password secure and not share it with anyone else. Once logged in, you can click MySchoolbucks on the left, then the Get Started button this will create you a single sign on account for MSB. Once that is finished, the Go to MSB account will turn blue, and you can click that to finish setup. Once fees are activated in our system, you will see them in the account. After linking PowerSchool with MySchoolBucks always use the PowerSchool parent portal to log in. 

If you have any login issues you can call the school office or MySchoolBucks at 855-832-5226.
