Press Release, Medina Central School District

MEDINA – The Medina Central School District, due to requests from families and the ongoing construction improvements across the district, has moved the Welcome Back Picnic for grades UPK-Grade 6.

The open house, which was originally scheduled for Aug. 20, will now be held on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

The event allows students and families to come into the buildings and meet their teachers.  Clifford Wise Intermediate Principal Jennifer Stearns and Oak Orchard Primary Principal Julie Schiavone say the Open House Night will be a fun-filled evening where students and families can get a head start on the school year.

“Students will have the opportunity to see their classrooms, meet their teachers, and reconnect with friends and familiar faces before the first day of school,” Stearns said.

Oak Orchard Primary School (UPK–Grade 2) will host their Open House from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Sept. 3 and Clifford Wise Intermediate School (Grades 3–6) will hold their Open House from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on that same day. To make the evening even more enjoyable, free hot dogs and water will be available to all who attend, so come hungry and ready to celebrate!

Families will receive information in August with their child’s teacher(s) and back-to-school paperwork, so parents/guardians should be on the lookout through ParentSquare and their mail. The schools say that they look forward to welcoming their students and families back for a fantastic school year.

If there are any questions, please reach out to your child’s school between 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
