Kindergarten

Welcome 26-27 Kindergarten Parents!

Students need to be 5 years old by September 1, 2026, to attend.*

This is a new and exciting time for you and your child. It will be a time of change and new beginnings – new surroundings, new friends, new skills, and new challenges. We promise to nurture and care for your child in a safe and secure environment. By teaming up, we'll create a joyful and fulfilling journey where students not only learn but also play and connect with friends in a safe and secure setting.

Medford School District’s highly qualified teachers provide regular and ongoing communication with parents about their child’s experiences and progress. We are thrilled to offer a free full-day kindergarten program at all of our schools. We know that when our youngest students are provided with the tools necessary to develop strong academic, social, and emotional skills, they will succeed in school and in the future.
