 Children learn in a variety of ways.

 Children demonstrate what they know in a variety of ways.

 Students learn from their peers.

 Learning empowers people.

Learning is a lifelong process for staff and students.

 Each individual deserves respect and has dignity.

 All children have the right to be educated in a safe and healthy environment.

 It is important to recognize the emotional and physical needs of students.

 Education of the child is our highest priority


FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

Greetings Medinah Families, 

Our district will celebrate American Education Week and Board Members Day this month in honor of our staff and Board who give their all every day to put children and their education first. We are grateful for them all! 

Now that we are approaching daylight savings time and the start of some cooler weather patterns, it is important to provide essential safety reminders.

  • While outside walking to and/or from school, it is important to be alert.
  • Look both ways, be aware of your environment, eyes up, phones down,  walk in a group, walk on sidewalks, be a good role model, and be visible.
  • Dress for the weather.
  • Dress as warm as possible on cold days.
  • We recommend that students dress in layers and wear hats, gloves, coats, and boots.

With the weather changing, we want to remind families of our plans for e-learning days in the case of inclement weather. Please ensure that your contact information is updated with your child's school. See Emergency School Closing Information.

Besides setting our clocks back and changing smoke detector batteries at this time of the year. This is also a great time to discuss and review the Medinah School Code of Conduct with your child. Conversations about what being safe, caring, and respectful look like will continue to help maintain a positive learning climate here in Medinah.

Medinah Student Code

  • We are safe.
  • We are caring.
  • We are respectful.
  • We are responsible. 

Medinah is thankful for our parents/family members and all you do every day for your child/children.

Wishing you a joyful fall and winter season! 

 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 must be entered exactly as they are printed below (both are case-sensitive). You should 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 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.
