Dear Families,

The month of February has been filled with so many learning activities and fun. The Medinah PTO has been a great support this month. The students had a great time during their Valentine’s Day celebrations and Afternoon of Kindness. It is always fantastic to be able to show our friends and teachers how much we care about each other and remember that Medinah Chooses Kind! We are all looking forward to the PTO Family Bingo Night on March 10th at 5:45pm. 

We are so proud of all our English Learner students in completing the ACCESS Assessment and are looking forward to seeing all of the growth they have made this past year. Throughout the next month, the staff and students at Medinah Intermediate School will be focused on preparing for the upcoming Illinois Assessment of Readiness(IAR) for grades 3-12 and the Illinois Science Assessment for grade 5, which will take place after spring break in April. The teachers and students have and will continue to focus on their learning goals. More information will continue to be sent home about this assessment. 

Kindergarten registration will open for the 2023-2024 school year in March. Registration will take place on-line. Be on the lookout for a link.  If you have a child who will be starting kindergarten at MPS next year, please make sure to register. We are already making plans for next year, so it is so important that we know our new kindergarten students early. Tell your friends! 

Medinah staff enjoyed seeing all of our families during conferences this month and truly value the partnership between home and school. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility on Thursday switching to all zoom to keep everyone safe from the inclement weather. 

We are looking forward to the month of March. As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
